Apple Announces New Intelligent AirPlay Features With Hotel Room Support
Apple today at WWDC announced new AirPlay abilities coming in iOS 17, including on-device intelligence to learn your AirPlay preferences around the home, as well as AirPlay support coming to more hotel rooms.
In terms of on-device intelligence, AirPlay can learn how and when you listen to certain content, for example by displaying a nearby AirPlay-supporting speaker to select depending which room you're in. You'll also be able to ask Siri to start an AirPlay session in a much more fluid way.
AirPlay will also work with supported televisions in hotels, allowing users to easily enjoy their favorite content on the TV when traveling. Built with a foundation of privacy and security, this capability will be available before the end of the year in select hotels, starting with brands from IHG Hotels & Resorts.
The developer beta of iOS 17 is available to Apple Developer Program members at developer.apple.com starting today, and a public beta will be available next month at beta.apple.com.
