The latest software update, version 27.2, brings the vibrant 'Sound Glow' feature to a wider range of Apple's smart speaker lineup, including the original HomePod and the first-generation HomePod mini. While initially showcased as a unique selling point for the newly released HomePod mini 2, this visual enhancement adds dynamic, multi-colored lighting effects to the top touch surface of older devices. The update allows legacy hardware to mimic the modern aesthetic of newer models, providing a more immersive visual feedback loop during music playback and Siri requests.
