Huge Apple fan here, but commanding Homepod Siri in German is Ein Schmerz im Arsch. I know it works better in English and i can speak and would speak English with her but then there are huge problems with German words.
I was looking for a used og homepod and i found "two demo version homepod for 220usd"
that sounds really cheap so i asked the seller what is diffrence between "demo version" and normal homepod and bellow is his answer
Diffrence is supported software version. The demo product can also be updated, but it is recommended not to update because reconnection is not possible when initialized after the update. The current version of homepod is 11.4, which allows stereo use, but earc, bass reduction, Dolby Atmos, and automation supported by later versions cannot be used. (If updated, it can be used, but as mentioned above, reconnection is not possible after the update. Therefore, it is not recommended) Other than that, it is the same as a regular HomePod.
I am planing to use HomePod as Home hub so lack of automation feature is important issue
Can I fix this problem by connecting pins on the bottom with my Mac and re-write the firmware?
I mean, if demo version have same hardware and just different software(firmware thing maybe), I must be able to erase the evil software and install the good software.
Sorry for poor English
Hey everyone,
I’m thinking of buying a HomePod mini for my home office. However, I’m very aware that HomePod Mini will shortly be turning 4 years old, so a replacement must be in the pipeline.
There hasn’t been many rumours posted online, has anyone else heard from credible sources about a possible replacement ?
