Do you know if it’s planned, that Sonos App let control volume of speaker again through iPhone volume buttons?

I did read, that it is not possible anymore, because of Apple’s decision. But I am wondering, why I can control the volume of my Bose SoundTouch Series 2 WiFi speaker in the Bose app with the iPhone volume buttons. It’s the same, isn’t it? The Bose app itself also does not play music and no AirPlay or Bluetooth is used.

Based on all the other, many threads about this, no. It was a restriction placed by Apple that Sonos had to accede to, as the Sonos doesn’t ‘play’ music on the controller.

I can’t speak to the current state of BOSE, back when I did use them, they ‘played’ on the iOS device, and sent the music to the speaker.

The Bose speaker can start playing music also by it’s own buttons or remote. When I do that and start the app later, I am still able to control the volume of the speaker with the iPhone buttons, although the music is definitively not played by the app.

Isn’t it, that there is a fee, if the app developer want to use the hardware buttons and Sonos doesn’t want to pay that?
