When I bought a pair of Silver Phantom back in December 2015 I specifically asked in Paris (flagship store) whether I could expect an upgrade to Airplay in the future. The answer was that it would require a hardware upgrade. Since there it quite a bit of free space in the speaker it wouldn't be impossible. However they would not commit to it and kept suggesting to buy an airport express module.
Therefore I'd be surprised if we could upgrade to airplay via a firmware update. Also I doubt there will be a hardware upgrade. Right now if you have an issue with a speaker or brake let's say the tweeter, they replace the whole unit. I suspect that repairing these babies is almost impossible. In that sense Apple have found the right partner: both are selling products which are almost impossible to open once they're built
