Bloomberg audio news briefs now on Apple devices

Bloomberg’s audio news briefs are now available on Apple devices via Siri with the release of iOS and tvOS 11.2.5, including HomePod, which will be available this Friday.

Apple customers can listen to the latest business news from Bloomberg on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and HomePod by simply saying, “Hey Siri, play news from Bloomberg,” and the Bloomberg business news briefing will start immediately.

On weekdays, the audio news brief provides Bloomberg’s “Market Minute,” a 60-second report on the latest consumer and business news with a quick update of the markets, which are refreshed twice every hour 24/7.

On weekends, the news brief plays features from Bloomberg journalists.

Bloomberg Media is the consumer-facing media organization of Bloomberg LP. Bloomberg Media draws on 2,700 journalists in more than 120 countries, producing more than 5,000 stories a day syndicated to more than 1,000 media outlets across more than 60 countries.
