This time the breakdown or rather the "destruction" of the HomePod It arrived later than expected on the iFixit website, and it is that normally when new Apple products arrive in stores, it does not take many hours to see the insides of the product on their website.
iFixit usually disassembles the equipment, but this time as you can see in the header image it is a wreck. Better not have a problem with the Apple smart speaker once the warranty has passed since the score that this HomePod takes in case of repair is 1 out of 10, that is, it is impossible to repair.
The truth is that we did not expect something different considering that most Apple equipment is really difficult to repair, but in this case it has a disastrous score and if we compare it with the smart speakers that we have in the market this HomePod is without a doubt irreparable. iFixit has all the steps who have had to continue to open the speaker and if you are apprehensive about the damage, you better not look at it.
1GB of RAM and 16GB flash storage
Not everything is bad and in addition to knowing that the HomePod has inside the Apple A8 chip, have any surprises like a 14-pin connector under the rubber part To be able to test the equipment but of course, it has a lot of tail on top and it is difficult even for Apple to access it.
Another interesting point is that it has a 1 GB RAM board and 16GB flash storage from Toshiba, It is also not suitable for storing music. Repairing the HomePod is already known to be practically impossible, Seeing the breakdown is clearer to us, so let's prepare those $ 279 that Apple says it costs to repair if it has a problem or is damaged.
