Apple HomePod is finally getting radio station streaming

The HomePod didn't get much (read: any) airtime at Apple's iPhone 11 event earlier this week, but that's not to say Apple has forgotten about it entirely. In fact, the HomePod is set to get a raft of new features before the year is out – even if some of them should have been present in the first place. Kicking off the feature-add this month is the introduction of radio station playback. From September 30, you'll be able to ask Siri to play one of around 100,000 global radio stations, and the smart helper will track it down using TuneIn, iHeartRadio and Radio.com. A little later in the year, a few more extras will be coming to the HomePod.
