If Apple wants its future HomePod to be able to compete with other models on the market, you must start getting the batteries with your particular virtual assistant. Siri seems to have added a new skill in the last update and will now 'show' you the news in a new format.
We use mobile phones more and more anywhere. Likewise, such is the integration they have in our lives that many times it is not necessary to have to be looking at the screen to interact with them. This is what they will have thought from Cupertino to add a new function to Siri, your popular virtual assistant that is increasingly present on your computers. Apparently with the arrival of iOS 11.2.2 Siri will allow you to listen to the news in podcast version, one of the most popular formats in the United States and that is increasingly being adopted by more media and users in the rest of the world. You know what we have one? What are you waiting for to subscribe?
Leaving our promotion aside, Siri will allow you once you activate by voice with a "Hey Siri" and ask for the news of the day, it will summarize everything in an audio file. We assume it will be based on Apple News, so in Spain it will not yet be possible to enjoy this new function.
Now, the countries that can already enjoy this new way of being aware of what is happening - the United States and the United Kingdom, for the moment - will be able to choose the sources from where Siri should be nourished to inform you. In the United States you can skip The Washington Post, Fox News or CNN, although by default it will take the information from the NPR (National Public Radio). Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom the user can choose between BBC, Sky News or LBC.
But as we say, this function is more focused, not for use with the iPhone -which also, and especially if we use CarPlay-, but to the future HomePod that should appear on the scene ASAP If you don't want to be born with the tag of failure hanging.
Interesting thanks for the information.
