MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple's HomePod Software 27.2 update introduces the Sound Glow feature, which makes the top of the HomePod or HomePod mini light up with colors pulsing in sync with audio playback, drawing colors from album artwork.
- Sound Glow is available on the HomePod mini, HomePod mini 2, and second-generation HomePod, but not on the original HomePod.
- The update is currently a release candidate for developers and public beta testers and is expected to launch publicly next week.
- Additional features in the update include support for using HomePods as the default speaker for Macs, surround sound support with HomePods or HomePod mini 2s for Apple TV, and a Lock Controls feature to disable touch interactions on the HomePod top.
- Users can enable or disable Sound Glow through HomePod settings or via the Apple TV Control Center when HomePods are paired with Apple TV.
