Apple HomePod Teardown [Images]

iFixit has posted its teardown of the new Apple HomePod smart speaker.

Apple’s beloved voice assistant is back again, this time in more of a Mac Pro wearing a jacket. Siri can now (attempt to) answer your questions with 360°, high-fidelity sound. How did Apple fit such big sound in such a small space—and what took them so long to do it?

Highlights:
● Apple A8 processor
● 4" high-excursion, upward-firing woofer
● Beamforming seven tweeter array
● Beamforming six microphone array
● 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO + Bluetooth 5.0
● Model number, A1639
● Under the glue-foot is a 14-pin port
● Secondary, internal fabric sleeve
● 16 GB NAND flash
● At some point—the HomePod was able to be unscrewed to separate the control/woofer component and the tweeter/power supply unit.
● Low frequency microphone for woofer calibration
