Apple adds Lock Controls, Sound Glow and Mac audio to older HomePods in 27.2 update
Overview
Apple's HomePod 27.2 software, available to developers and public beta testers, adds Lock Controls to older HomePod and HomePod Mini models, according to ZDNet.
The 2nd-generation HomePod also gets Sound Glow, Mac audio output and a four-speaker array with the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, and the 1st-generation HomePod Mini gets Sound Glow RGB lighting.
The first-generation HomePod is excluded from Sound Glow because of its LED light display, and from the Mac and Apple TV 4K audio features because of older networking and audio processing, the report says. MacRumors reports that the software may launch next week.
