I’m going to wait for 16.1, see if that fixes, if not will likely just reset them. I read a big thread recently on macrumours, so not alone.

Anyone on 16.1 on the HomePods.
All ok?
I have not updated yet, but saw a thread elsewhere that mentioned 16.1 has caused them to run hot, never really felt mine though, lol.

Updated both my original HomePod to 16.1, can’t say I’ve noticed a difference or felt the need to feel them.
I bought a HomePod mini because I needed an alarm clock and something to play soothing music while I try to sleep, and I'm amazed by how good it sounds. At first, it wasn't working, but after updating it to the latest HomePodOS, it all seems to be good.

It is impressive for how small it is.

Are the homepods worth a purchase for kitchen and garden listening? or should I be looking at the much higher end with the devialet mania?
Best speakers I've owned are a pair of Audio Pro C10's but just want something portable again now.

I've got a couple in the kitchen. They're good enough for the size/price.

Can anyone comment on how the HomePods work with android/google phones? I'm an iPhone user, but my GF has a Google Pixel, and I imagine that would make it harder for her to connect and use it as effortlessly as an iPhone?
Thanks!
Also, if it is a pain to use them with non iPhones, what's the best non apple equivalent to the bigger HomePod? The Sonos One?

Full size gen 1. Went refurbished so cost me £380 for the pair.
Sonos would be better, still has AirPlay support for your iPhone and you can enable Google assistant on them to have some smart features. Google assistant can play music from most services whereas HomePod it’s limited. Spotify for example would only be usable if air played to the HomePod.
Can you use an Apple HomePod with an Android phone?
Apple and Android may not always get along, but did you know you can use AirPlay with an Android phone?

So it seems the latest update allows for song requests through Siri for Spotify. Has anyone managed to get this working? When I try I get a prompt to continue with the request on the device. Upon clicking on the notification on the iPhone nothing happens.
