Man, the tech support calls that Sonos is going to get about this migration from S1 to S2... it's going to be a rocky several months. The weird thing is — the app's barely been redesigned. I would expect that such a moment would call for an overhaul, like the did to their brand more broadly. I actually like the new design — but the app... still looks eerily familiar. Well, here's to discussing what being in generation S2 brings!

@chrismessina barely been redesigned? I'm struggling to find any difference at all. The only difference I can see is the app icon is a different color. Other than that I don't see any difference between S1 and S2

@nrmadi the mobile iOS app has a slightly refreshed look. The desktop Mac app isn't really different at all.

@nrmadi @chrismessina Cannot find any difference, i assume its a backend overhaul for future features - wondering why they couldn't have waited until those were ready.

@nrmadi @nabeel one of the big differences will be support for HD Audio and Dolby Atmos. I imagine there will also be forthcoming enhancements to voice services and personalization (i.e. deeper integration into music providers or the native Sonos Radio product).
