There is less and less for Apple to launch the HomePod for sale, and it shows in the environment. The news about units shipped to Apple for distribution, about obtaining FCC certification essential to start sales in the United States, and now Leaks with screenshots of how we will control the Apple speaker and its settings are clear proof that it will appear in the Apple Store at any time.
Contrary to what happens with the Apple Watch, this new device will not have its own application, but will be controlled within the Home application, something logical considering that it can be used as a HomeKit central. We show you below the screenshots with the controls and some configuration options, as well as the volume control that will appear on the top screen of the HomePod.
These images have been shared by the web iGeneration and in them we can see how you can turn on or off the LED display on top of HomePod, change Siri sound, or turn off tap to summon to Apple's virtual assistant. There will be no shortage of accessibility options for the Apple speaker. We can even vary the pressure necessary to activate the touch surface that will serve to directly control the speaker without the need for the iPhone.
The upper screen, which will generally show the characteristic wave image of Siri, will vary depending on the function that we are exercising at each moment. In this image we can see part of that screen showing the HomePod's volume control. To all these disclosed data we must now add the detail that Apple will allow multiple users to control the HomePod, although the main one will be who has the associated Apple ID and the one that will be able to perform advanced functions such as sending messages, others will be able to perform other functions such as starting music playback using voice commands.
