AirPort Express showing up in iOS 11.4 Home app, suggests AirPlay 2 speaker support on the way

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/airport-express-airplay-2.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=940)</div><p>With the return of AirPlay 2 in iOS 11.4 (https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/03/ios-tvos-11-4-public-beta-1/), it appears that Apple still has some tricks up its sleeve. Readers (https://twitter.com/DonavanBecker/status/981188536014696448) and Redditors (https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/89p2zk/airport_express_showing_up_in_home_app_airplay_2/) are reporting that the AirPort Express (the ‘latest’ model released in 2012 (https://amzn.to/2q7aSiB)) is showing up as a speaker accessory in the Home app.</p>
<p>This suggests the new AirPort Express will support AirPlay 2 to participate in features like multi-room playback alongside other speakers like the HomePod.</p>
