360 FullRoom Sound makes it easy to hear from any direction. Allowing users to schedule or trigger scenes with music playback.Īny speaker, regardless of how many bells and whistles it's outfitted with, is useless if the sound quality is not up to par.

What HomeKit will be capable of with speakers has yet to be seen, but we believe they will eventually be built into scenes. I will be able to stream content to all these at the same time after the release of AirPlay 2, which is expected mid-2018 with the launch of iOS 11.4.ĪirPlay 2 also pulls these devices into the Home app to work with HomeKit. I have an Apple TV hooked up to a receiver in the living room, my HomePod in the Kitchen, and the Zipp in my office. That means music can be streamed from a device to multiple Zipps, HomePods, Apple TVs, or other AirPlay 2 speakers simultaneously. And like the HomePod, the Zipp will also be upgraded to AirPlay 2.Īpple's next generation of AirPlay, AirPlay 2, brings better throughput and multi-room audio.

Streaming audio from almost any of your devices is literally two taps away.ĪirPlay is also how music is streamed to the HomePod. Once the speaker is configured, tap the AirPlay icon in an app or in Control Center and the Zipp will show up.
