Yesterday at Apple's WWDC 2020 there was also its part for the HomePod. Although it is not one of the star products of the American company, they do not forget about it. New software for the speaker will be introduced adding new functionality. To make sure they are on the right track, Apple wants invite some users to try the new beta of the software to come.
When a beta of the operating systems of Apple devices is launched, we know that if you are a developer you can have access to them. Little by little the versions are being generated until the public beta is reached and later the final software. But with the HomePod, it doesn't. Betas of new operating systems are tested internally and users are unaware of the news until it is officially launched.
However on this occasion, Apple has wanted for the first time, the new features are tested by others other than Apple workers. Invitations have been launched for some developers so that they can to test the new functions related to third party music, like Spotify or Tidal. Your interaction with HomeKit… etc;
What remains to be seen is whether this new tactic will finally be only this time or if on the contrary will become standard practice at Apple and therefore a new section will be opened within the beta testers. thus allowing developers to test the new features.
The new functions that we want to incorporate into the HomePod and that we could see yesterday afternoon look very good. Some should already be working, such as being able to listen to other music platforms, but of course, The issue is not there to make concessions. Better late than never.
