The HomePod 2 Teardown: Small Changes Make a Big Difference

From the creator

Four years ago we did a teardown of Apple’s first smart speaker, the HomePod, and to say that teardown was excruciating would be an understatement. Well, today we have the Second Generation HomePod on the teardown table, we’ve got our ultrasonic cutter on standby just in case and we’re going to dig in and see just how much of a repairability nightmare it’s going to be.
