Amaya Toman If you own a HomePod and your home is also equipped with a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, you will surely be pleased with the new feature that Apple has quietly equipped its HomePods with this week. Tim Cook, for a change, was pleased with the old Macintosh Classic, and overseas users were pleased with the newly launched savings account from Apple, which, however, is not quite from Apple.

Fire alarm detection with HomePods
Apple is surprising us this year by enriching its HomePods with new functions. In addition to the ability to measure temperature and air humidity, this week a completely silent fire alarm detection function was added. Many households have useful smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Older models of these detectors only offer an audible alarm, which in certain circumstances the owner may not notice at all. HomePods now offer the detection of this sound with the subsequent sending of an appropriate notification to the connected Apple device. We inform you about how to activate the function on our website sister magazine.

Apple Savings Account
Customers in selected regions have been able to use the Apple Card for several years. Apple is clearly serious about financial services, as it added its own savings account to Apple Card and deferred payments this week. This, like the Apple Card, is available overseas, is tied to the Apple Card, and, like the Apple Card, falls under the management of the financial institution Goldman Sachs. The interest rate is 4,15%, the maximum deposit is 250 thousand dollars.
Reminisce with us about the introduction of the Apple Card:

Excited Tim Cook
Apple CEO Tim Cook usually finds himself in the media spotlight for reasons other than showing emotion. But in the past week, a tweet with a video of the opening ceremony of the first Apple Store in Mumbai, India, gained great popularity on Twitter. Tim Cook also attended the said opening, and the video captures his enthusiastic reaction to the old Macintosh Classic, which was brought to the store by one of the visitors. Enthusiastically clapping and cheering employees of Apple stores probably won't surprise anyone, but we are not too used to Tim Cook showing too much emotion - maybe that's why the mentioned video got so much attention.
