`
`With AirPods and the W1 chip, Apple introduced a proximity-based set up system that automatically pops up
`a card on your iOS device when a configurable device is nearby. The same system is used to share Wi-Fi
`passwords, set up new iOS devices, Apple TVs and even Apple Watch.
`
`HomePod will use the same set up system, but it includes a few more steps, depending on your particular
`setup…

`
`
`
`The process starts when your iOS device (iPhone/iPad running iOS 11.2.5 or later) is close to HomePod. A
`card pops up with a beautiful 3D render of the HomePod and asks you if you’d like to set it up. If you cancel
`the set up, you can start again by bringing the two devices close to each other.
`
`Pairing requires a passcode, which can be entered in two different ways. The first one is with the iOS device
`listening to a special tone produced by the HomePod, which requires no action on your part. The second
`one is with Siri dictating a four-digit code that must be manually typed in the iOS device, this process is
`shown in the video below.
`
`After the initial pairing is done, there’s the HomeKit part of the set up, where you select the house and room
`your HomePod will be in. This is followed by the Siri language selection and the standard terms and
`conditions screen.
`
`Followed by that is the iCloud and iTunes account set up. Settings such as the iCloud account itself and Wi-
`Fi networks are automatically transferred to the HomePod and can be changed later in the Home app.
`
`During the configuration process, it is possible to define HomePod as part of a stereo system, but this
`feature is only enabled on iOS 11.3, since HomePod will ship without support for AirPlay 2 and stereo pairs.
`
`The video below also highlights two requirements to get a HomePod up and running: your iCloud account
`must have Keychain and two-factor authentication enabled. If you’re planning on buying a HomePod, make
`sure you have those enabled.

`HomePod
`HomePod is Apple’s effort to “reinvent home music" and features a 7 tweeter array, a 4-inch woofer
`and is powered by Apple’s A8 chip. The device acts as a standalone way for users to interact with
`Siri, Apple Music, and more.
