Key Points:
- Apple is reportedly testing the ability to connect four HomePods to an Apple TV 4K for surround sound, with speakers positioned as front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right.
- New evidence from the latest audioOS 27.2 beta and macOS 27.2 beta includes code and symbols suggesting support for a four-speaker surround sound system compatible with HomePods.
- Apple is expected to announce new HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K models on October 13, though it remains unclear if the surround sound feature will require new hardware or if existing Apple TV 4K models will support it.
- Current Apple TV 4K models support stereo sound with two HomePods or HomePod minis, but the upcoming functionality could expand this to a full four-speaker home theater setup.
- The full-sized HomePod update is planned for the future, and Apple may unveil the four-HomePod surround sound feature soon, pending no last-minute changes.
