Amongst them, live streaming of over 100,000 radio stations will be an available feature by the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new feature, called &#8216;Siri Live Radio&#8217; gives the HomePod access to over 100,000 radio stations. All stations available from services like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Radio.com will be included to stream on-demand. Some stations are already available in certain territories but the full launch should be global by the end of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A newly announced feature coming to Apple&#8217;s HomePod is an Ambient Sounds feature. &#8216;Relax with Ambient Sounds&#8217; will bring a new option for users to tune in to the relaxing sounds of oceans, birds, rainfall, and more to tune out with. It&#8217;s a good move as ambient music and sounds on streaming services are becoming increasingly popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final feature which Apple promise will come later in fall is &#8216;Music Handoff&#8217;. This allows you to quickly switch between Apple devices to move your music streaming experience. So if you&#8217;re listening on your iPhone, you can take it up to your HomePod and hold it close to be presented with the option to transfer the stream over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple have announced a bunch of new features for the HomePod after staying silent on their Smart Speakers at the recent iPhone launch.
