What we’d like to see next is system wide AirPlay 2 support. With AirPlay 2, audio streaming can buffer several seconds ahead of time to account for Wi-Fi disruptions and multi-room playback is supported on iPhone and iPad as well. ITunes had previously been able to play audio to multiple AirPlay devices with AirPlay 1, but latency was an issue and Wi-Fi disruptions would immediately affect playback. This means iTunes will have more reliable AirPlay playback with less latency, and stereo paired HomePods are now recognizable in the main AirPlay switcher. Before, iTunes would display all the HomePods separately (separating left and right stereo pairs for example) in the main switcher and only support remote control in the ‘Switch To:’ menu. With this release, Apple is touting AirPlay 2 within iTunes (which requires a separate update to version 12.8). Along with the updates released earlier today, Apple has now released macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 to the public.
