On my 6th generation iPad (A10 chip), the OneNote app can copy text from photos, and the Photos app is able to automatically categorize photos based on their content.

Anyone else hate/ have extreme issues with their Homepod Mini?

Posted: 15 Feb 2022 06:30 PM PST

Am I crazy? Huge apple fan here, love and use many of their products, rarely have problems with them (besides apple music). I bought it thinking it would do what it says, play music, and act as a (somewhat) smart speaker. I literally have problems with this thing almost every single time I use it. I feel like i'm the only one or something because I can't find anyone else that has my same issues. Very often when playing music on my phone or macbook and selecting to play it to my homepod it will take anywhere from up to 5,10,15 seconds.. same with when I tap the device to the homepod to "transfer" the music to it. Still takes seconds. Sometimes it will have trouble trying to play anything that isn't what you played yesterday or the day before as it somehow sticks to whatever you were last playing on it even if it was days ago. Sometimes 15 seconds into a song it will just stop playing and not let me resume playback for several minutes after. Doesn't feel smooth or apple like at all.. probably just going to sell or see what money I can get for it and buy a different bluetooth speaker that will respond quicker to me trying to use it.
