A jailbreak for iPhone and iPad devices is nothing new these days. But a jailbreak for the HomePod is – Checkra1n makes it possible.
The HomePod operating system based on tvOS since iOS 13.4. The change was never communicated by Apple - but it ensures more stability and better availability. Now there is a jailbreak for the classic HomePod for the first time. The latest Checkra1n update can not only crack the iPhone and iPad but also Apple's Siri speaker. The jailbreak on the first generation HomePod was discovered by the user known as L1ngL1ng. It is currently unknown what "advantages" a jailbreak on the HomePod will have. For example, it would be possible to open the Bluetooth connection or use a new virtual assistant.
Note, please note:
If you are not familiar with jailbreaking, you should not under any circumstances try to blindly crack your iPhone or iPad - this also applies to the HomePod. This process completely removes all software-based restrictions. For example, users are able to install applications outside of the App Store on the device. In addition, practically the entire system can be modified - removing all blockages also voids the warranty and makes the device vulnerable. Consequently, laypeople should avoid jailbreaking, as in this case the damage will be greater than the benefit. For more details on the HomePod jailbreak, see the official website by Checkra1n.
