HomePod had the first software update released yesterday by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), together with iOS 11.3, and immediately after its installation, customers began to complain about the change. According to those who own HomePod smart speakers, the audio quality of the speakers has been reduced after installing the update, although theoretically this should not have happened.
The Software update released for HomePod modifies the special algorithm based on which music is played by the smart speaker, and customers are not satisfied with the novelty. According to those who own HomePod speakers, the update substantially reduces the quality of the bass and the intensity of the sounds played, two of the aspects in which the speaker excelled in the past.
Many of those who bought HomePod speakers from the Apple company praised the audio quality offered by the product, but it seems that Apple managed to spoil it. Why Apple made changes to offer a lower quality for customers who bought HomePod, no one knows, but the world will have to wait for another update for a return to normal.
"... I'm listening to the Migos album and just listened to Kendrick. bass got bottomed out. i'm fucking pissed because it was perfect before. … I'm pretty pissed. seems to me like the vibrations aren't there. the bass was not muddy at all before; it sounded powerful. now it seems like the highs are being pushed and tinny.

Those who have already bought HomePod are left with a big disappointment because the product no longer has the quality it had before, while others will ignore it until the problem is solved. To be honest, it will be interesting to see what Apple's response will be to this problem and if the sales of the smart speaker will be affected by the radical change.
