Interestingly, Apple did not announce any updates mentioning HomePod at its WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June but it introduced a software update bringing features such as AirPlay 2 or multi-room audio and iMessages in iCloud. “HomePod, the wireless speaker from Apple, now delivers an even more immersive listening experience throughout the home with support for HomePod stereo pairs and a new multi-room audio system in iOS 11.4,” the company had said. HomePod was late in the party but Apple has been trying hard keep up with the pace of the technological advancements and the features that its competitors are introducing in their products.
