Much better than that "what's inside" channel that basically destroyed the thing from the beginning of their teardown.

@@realvivifromloona better sound yet it cant even be used as a speaker, nor does it even work properly with spotify or any third party app that has anything to do with music. Cant even us it as a speaker for a mac. I'd expect more from apple but, I shouldn't even be surpriced. It's just basically a siri/apple music speaker and that's it.

YES!!! That would be incredible. I wonder what the repairability score would be on that?
Everything is glued, because sound waves will shake everything loose over time distorting the sound and making things buzz. Its a great design.
If you happen to come across a repair manual and figure out a better way to open it, would you revisit this tear-down?

It’s a woofer not a subwoofer
The way jailbreaking iPhones in the past taunted Apple to counter with software upgrades against it, iFixit teardowns now taunt them to make their products unfixable! They probably have an entire department in the basement of the spaceship dedicated to inventing new unbreachable adhesives.

My name is Jeffrey but hey apple got some extra money i mean damn look at that repair price
It's definitely meant to be torn apart for refurbishing, that's why all components held by their place with screews, but you have to break the sealing to get to it. I think it's made that way to exclude the possibility of 3rd-party repair.
Much better quality and much more useful than what's inside's teardown
I never knew what the A8 chip looked like until now! Cool video
This was a fairly clean one. Well done!
Cool and interesting tear down of this device! So complex though!
I like this channel I never seen lady tearing down like a pro
I watching this vid on the same exact couch! Literally!
I've waited for that. thanks!
Thank you for the video!!!
I love this iFixit videos
This is how a tear down is suppose to be done
I watched the C-Net one and this was a lot shorter and actually was able to show me what was inside like I wanted.
I love my HomePods. This video was cool 😎
Finally! I was just screeching for this and checking it now and again!
I would have liked to see the inside of one of the compression drivers at the bottom. Great video with a clear look at an unusual product.
I was waiting for this
More Like Kelsea Destroys!!!! Thank you for doing this! been wanting to see the inside of this thing :)
I want to see the tweeters! And a bit more of the woofer. This makes most of the sound quality.
Pretty as hell. Both you & the HomePod!
I've been waiting to see this video
Awesome video
Very nice 😃
Thank you Apple for a whole new level of throw-away society. Together we can bring down this planet and all it's resources!
Very nice 👍🏼
Never mentioned how it sounded like after putting it back together (or after attempting to)!
Can't wait for the jailbreak on this thing. Should make homepod a lot more interesting.
Excelente vídeo 👍
I'm actually really glad she called it a woofer unlike the other 90% that keep calling it a subwoofer 😤
@RWL2012

Juan Carballo yeah, there can be a huge overlap in the relationship between the size and type of a speaker driver! For example, my main system uses four closed back 3" tweeters for treble only, two 10" woofers in sealed enclosures for the midbass/midrange, and eight 8" subwoofers in 4.4 cu ft of ported enclosure tuned to 30Hz which are properly filtered and only play true sub-bass from 80Hz down to 20Hz. Compare that to my backpack (rucsac) system which has a 3" extended range driver in a sealed enclosure for "midbass"/midrange AND treble, and two special 3.5" "RBM" subwoofers in 0.16 cu ft of ported enclosure tuned to 35Hz which play "sub-bass" from 120Hz down to 30Hz!
Very nice teardown but how did it go back did it sound the same afterwards???
Nice!!
I don’t think anyone would damage a HomePod is look so durable
What a mess ! But finnally I can see inside of it which doesn’t simple like the picture at the conference
I love homepod because it using same processor my iPhone 6
Did it even work after reassembling it back together??
Wait. Tiny ultrasonic cutters exist? I've seen oscillating multi-tools, but not this. WHAT WHAT WHAT. Mega cool.
I think there is that much adhesive because I have a few and even though they don’t really vibrate the table they are on there is probably a lot of pressure on that sub if there is a high bass song ant max volume
I literally watch this video bc of Kelsea 😍😍😍
the single mic is for optimizing sound when placed anywhere in a room
Didn't you guys cut the the fabric mesh in your teardown on your website? :P
Too be fair, I don't imagine you needing to repair this with the exception of maybe the power cord which is removable.
You know the score would be low when the title says "this one gets destructive."
Which portable Bluetooth speaker has better or same sound quality as this homepod.
Apple actually use quality nippon chemi-con capacitors, usually these kind of speakers cheap out on that because it doesn't have to last more than a couple of years, sonos for example uses cheap capxon capacitors
I just want the subwoofer with T/S parameters and build a awesome maybe tuned to 60hz box!
so each tweeter just have a usb-c sized opening?
Had an O-ring to seal the unit, but glued to prevent the ability to open for servicing....
wow. Apple REALLY doesn't want us to get into that thing. Now what would be interesting is seeing it be put back together to the original device.
WOW!
Could you please write the part number on the back of the magnet or on the side of the number for me to find out what brand or company made the woofer?
ahaa and how does it sound after reassembling? thought u would let us know.
Jesus christ, this ain't a speaker, this is an ARC reactor
Can you post specs of that SPEAKER? It looks like a Dayton Audio
Soooo. How did it sound afterwards?
Damn HomePod is tank
Omg you actually removed the outer mesh without destroying it 😍 Now make an iPhone case out of it!
I dont like apple, but you can´t deny the quality of the product
I like Kelsea! She's eloquent.
This is tech pron! also many things can be said about apple, but damn their pcb's are sexy!
It seems to me the 7 tweeter horns exit the sound waves out the bottom, with the goal the sound will reflect off the table top. Interesting
Hey iFixit, anybody knows where to get a replacement glas cover for the black homepod? Crashed my HomePods cover...
where is the speaker driver? where is the sound came from?
Now I know what the Mac mini would look like
Thanks for making Siri go off
Did it still work after this?
woah 🔥xD

I prefer the video where the guy melts it with a torch ;)
If done right no cutting would be necessary.. Undo the top screws and heat gently.. then unscrew mesh/cage bottom.. use ethanol or nail polish remover liberally in seal.. and apply a small amount of force until seal starts to separate. Then proceed.
slightly confused… the sides of the homepod are hard plastic? so the sound comes out of just the top and the bottom?

Yeah, the ads are deceiving. They make it look like the tweeters are openly pointing out the sides just under the mesh and that's obviously not the case.

I was able to open my HomePod without destroying the whole thing. instead of cutting that top ring open, you should heat and pry it from the INSIDE. there are a bunch of channels on top of the screws underneath where you can fit a long screwdriver or something and use it as a lever to pry it out, it's actually pretty easy to do, then the rest of the teardown follows normally as shown in the video

as for why my HomePod wasn't turning on I still have no idea
What's inside should learn from this video
Those caps better be high quality. Who's caps are they? Nichicon? Panasonic?
I turned my back on apple years ago when it got to the point that a broken home button could only be repaired by apple at an obscene cost
You didn't take out the 8 individual speakers?
They screwed two halves together and sealed it with adhesive when it was being made. It seems like at such a price hike, they will basically give you a new one. The new one will probably have recycled parts from other speakers that had defective pieces. Basically, all they need to do is put everything into two casings and screw them together.
Finally!
WE Broke it yeah u mean YOU Broke it lmao.
The way she rolled back that speaker mesh, slow it down for better effect lol
