According to 9To5Mac news, in addition to the iOS 15/iPad OS 15 Beta 5 update, Apple recently pushed the HomePod 15 beta 5 firmware update for the HomePod wireless speaker series, which is compatible with the discontinued old speakers and The new version of HomePod mini.
This update officially brings lossless music and spatial audio technology to the two products. After users connect the iOS system and Home App, they can see the two new options in the settings. In the remarks of the new feature, Apple wrote: The lossless audio file will retain every detail of the original file, and it will consume more data after turning on this feature. After the Dolby Atoms Dolby, Atmos sound effect is turned on, the device can support playback Dolby Atoms format, and other Dolby audio format music.
After this update, if the Apple HomePod is paired with an Apple TV 4K TV box, users can only use the old version of the HomePod speaker to turn on the Dolby Atmos sound effect. In addition, Apple plans to add support for Italian to the HomePod’s Siri function in the future, but this update did not provide it.
