The new iOS build also includes AirPlay 2. This feature allows two HomePod units in the same room to stream music in stereo with individual left and right channels. AirPlay 2 also allows users to play music in any room from any room using an iOS device, HomePod, Apple TV or Siri. Music can be moved from one room to another, and different songs can be streamed in different rooms. AirPlay 2 is available now in the U. S., U.

The update to iOS 11.4 also adds calendar support for Apple’s HomePod smart speaker. Bad news again for those in Canada, France and Germany; the calendar support for HomePod won’t be available until later in the year.
