AirPlay 2 has arrived on Sonos. Now any app on your iOS devices can be streamed directly to Sonos speakers including Sonos Beam, Sonos One, Playbase and the second generation Play:5. The roll out comes a week ahead of the new Beam living room smart speaker, which ships with AirPlay 2 support.
AirPlay 2 is designed to allow iOS users to select the speakers they want to play music through, thanks to its new multi-room audio support.
Siri is also more closely integrated into AirPlay 2 on an iPhone, so you can now ask Apple’s digital assistant to play music on specific speakers.
