Apple has not released an official announcement of these two updates, only stating that tvOS 16.3.1 and HomePod 16.3.1 bring general performance and stability improvements. The same thing happened with tvOS 16.3, released on January 25, 2023, it only included stability improvements.
Apple has not been introducing new features in the tvOS operating system for a long time.. The design of the user interface has not been refreshed in years. However, we cannot find a plausible explanation for the lack of innovation in tvOS as the company has launched new Apple TV models in its most recent past.
As for the HomePod, software version 16.3 included a fair share of changes with: Siri news, temperature and humidity data, HomeKit improvements, confirmation tones, Podcasts volume adjustment and more.
