The Apple smart speaker is one of the most anticipated equipment by users. The HomePod - that's how they named it from Cupertino - is Apple's answer to Amazon and its Amazon Echo. During next December two important launches are expected: on the one hand the iMac Pro and on the other the HomePod.
A few days ago the latest firmware was released for developers and for them to work before the launch of the speaker with Siri. And one of these developers has revealed extra information about what we can expect from this HomePod. The name of this developer is Guilherme Rambo. Among the data discovered new sounds have been unveiled that we can hear on the smart speaker. Here is a small video posted on Twitter by its discoverer.

But let's start at the beginning. This developer has left us clues about what can we do with the Apple smart speaker. And some of these interesting data are: we can change the sound of the alarm by playing a song from the Apple Music service.
On the other hand, if you are one of those who are going to have several HomePods at home, you should also know that you can update the firmware of all of them at the same time. Also, having more than one HomePod in the home, can be used as stereo speakers. What's more, according to the developer when we connect the second computer to the home network, we will be asked if we want to configure it in such a way.
Meanwhile, the songs that are played from the smart speaker will allow the user whether they are added to their profile or not. Finally, according to launched by Apple, has also revealed that the user will be able to control applications such as Messages, Notes or Lists from an iPhone or iPad.
