The new HomePod is much easier to disassemble
A new teardown video from iFixit shows exactly how easy it is to take the new HomePod apart, a significant step up from the original.
Apple’s 2018 HomePod was effectively built like a tank and needed sawing, cutting, and a big mess to get inside. The 2023 model has proven to be much more simple to disassemble, thanks to less adhesive throughout.
The center half of the HomePod is dedicated to the main 4-inch woofer, which actuates 20mm during playback. Under that is the amplifier board, then deeper still are the five tweeters.
