Just as it was coming rumored For months now, the prestigious high-end audio firm Sonos has already announced the upcoming launch of a new smart speaker, Sonos One, Which is compatible with multiple digital assistants, like Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant, but which also means the arrival of interesting news for Apple users.
The Sonos company has also officially announced its plans to integrate the new wireless music playback function AirPlay 2 Apple on its wireless speakers. And that's not all.
Sonos and Siri will understand each other shortly
It's official now. Sonos intends that AirPlay 2, Apple's wireless technology, is compatible with its speakers, and this has been stated by the company officially. This new one returned to the scene during the last World Wide Developer Conference in June as a feature of iOS 11 that will work with the HomePod that Apple plans to launch at the end of the year, new Beats speakers, and also other products from third-party manufacturers.
So far, Sonos has not supported Apple's AirPlay 2 technology, it had simply dropped its intentions to do so in the future.
Along with this novelty, Sonos also confirmed that your wireless speakers can be controlled by any device with Siri like the iPhone or iPad, precisely thanks to that support for AirPlay 2. Consequently, this new compatibility should also allow any content available on iOS but not currently available on Sonos can be played on Sonos speakers (like Overcas, Apple Podcasts, etc.).
En este sentido, the recently announced Sonos One which will be launched on October 24 at a price of 229 euros and can now be booked on the official website Of the brand, will work with AirPlay 2. And by extension, we deduce that all existing Sonos speakers should work with this technology as well, although that is still to be confirmed.
