You're listening to the Apple Insider Podcast.

Welcome back. This is Apple Insider Podcast.

Episode 161.

I'm your host Victor Marks and joining me is Neil Hughes.

Victor, how you doing?

I'm all right, how are you?

I'm doing well.

I'm glad to hear it. I really am. Now you have been watching the iOS betas as they've

been coming out haven't you? Yeah you know it's this weird thing where I will have to decide when a beta comes out do I want to take the risk and put it on my main phone do I want to break out an old phone do I want to just wait this one out because it's not that big of an update because you know you can get public betas and what have you?

But it's not always a great idea.

So I have... You've been watching this one because I think let me get this right. You know looking in the crystal ball and and checking the tea leaves I think you're looking forward to airplay too. Am I correct? I'm very excited about Airplay 2. I'm the

world's biggest Airplay fan so yes. It's my understanding I mean we published this on the

site that Airplay 2 appears to have been removed from the third

iOS 11.3 and TVS 11.3 betas. Correct. I mean we're dealing with a beta

here so you know I don't really view it as that big of a deal.

The question is, is it going to ship in the final 11.3?

So Apple has said that Airplay 2 support is coming later.

There are no Airplay 2 speakers on the market currently.

The Home Pod will need a software update.

With some of the betas you could use Apple TV running beta as an Airplay 2 speaker device

but other than that it has been limited so I mean you can't really complain right now because it's

beta things we're gonna get put in put out. Hopefully it does arrive with 11.3
