On the Happy Hour podcast, host Chance Miller shared a week-long hands-on account of Apple's rumored foldable iPhone Duo, covering its hinge positions, software maturity, Touch ID versus Face ID, and battery performance. The episode also discussed Apple's newly announced 'Pro and Tell' product event and covered a HomePod Sound Glow feature test plus Apple's explanation that its new Apple Music logo was 'built by sound'.
Apple is rolling out Sound Glow, a feature that lights up the touch surface of HomePod mini and the second-generation HomePod with colors drawn from the currently playing song's album artwork. The feature requires software version 27.2, is enabled via the Home app or Apple TV Control Center, and does not work on the original HomePod.
Apple announced a free software update bringing three new features to the existing HomePod (2nd generation), alongside this week's launch of HomePod mini 2, HomeView and a new Apple TV 4K. The update adds Sound Glow lighting effects synced to music, the ability to set HomePod as the default Mac speaker, and support for four-HomePod surround sound when paired with the new Apple TV 4K.
