You will remember that a few months ago a new function was added to Siri. It is about being able to listen to the news from different channels as if it were a podcast. Now, this option is added to three more countries: Canada, France and Germany. And it is that this Monday they are put there for sale.
El HomePod hits shelves in three new countries tomorrow, Monday, June 18. It will land in Germany, France and Canada. And they are where you can hear the news in voice format and as if it were a podcast program. Of course, the sources of this news will vary depending on the country.
The thing is as easy as starting with a "Hey Siri." And then: "What's the news today?" Or "Read me the news." As it arrives from MacRumors, users based in Canada will receive news from channels such as: CBC, Global TV, CTV, and CNN. For their part, users in Germany will receive the news from the radio station Germany Radio.
The price of the HomePod in Canada will be 449 Canadian dollars, while in Germany and France the price will be $349. Of course, you can get the Apple smart speaker in two shades: white or black. In turn, at the end of last May, the Cupertino boys introduced, through an update of for mobile devices to report the, the possibility that Siri spoke German and French. Apparently, the Canadian French will be introduced at the end of this year 2018.
On the other hand, another improvement that users in these three countries You can try when you have a HomePod unit in your hands is AirPlay 2. We remember that iOS 11.4, the latest version available to all users while iOS 12 will arrive in September, allows you to use several HomePod units with the "multiroom" system or use two units in stereo.
