Again, this is NOT using AirPlay - you are actually controlling what is streaming down to the HomePod from the cloud with your iPhone.
I have a HomePod and can confirm that this works great.
Control playback
You can use the Apple Music app on your iOS device to control the sound volume, play what you want to hear, and add or remove songs from the Up Next queue.
See what’s playing now, and next. Open Apple Music, then tap the HomePod playback controls. If you don’t see the HomePod controls, on the Now Playing screen, tap the AirPlay button, then choose HomePod.
Choose what’s next. After choosing HomePod in the Apple Music app, tap Library, For You, Browse, Radio, or Search to find music to play. You can choose to play an item next or add it to the end of the Up Next queue.
Use the Control Center. Open Control Center, press (or touch and hold) Now Playing to expand it, then tap your HomePod.
How does this work if you don't have your iPhone/iPad with you? Will it work with the new ATV? How is this better than any other BT speaker?
