The large HomePod (original) has not been available for several months. Now users are reporting that their smart speaker with version 14.6 suddenly crashes for no apparent reason.
The user reports follow similar problems caused by the beta version 15.0 of the software. Only the large HomePod seems to be affected. One Reddit users more than 19 HomePods in his house and seven of them were basically killed. The user says that three are running on the release version and four on the beta version. But they all failed. A 9to5Mac reader shared reported that his oldest speaker in a stereo pair failed after updating to 14.6.
HomePod fails: reason unknown
The HomePod was connected to an Apple TV as a stereo pair with another HomePod. These statements were confirmed by other Reddit users. If you compare all the reports, you quickly notice a commonality. All of the affected devices are the large HomePod models that are linked to the Apple TV as a stereo pair. In addition, they all have version 14.6. However, the cause remains unknown. A statement from Apple is also pending. It is currently not known how many users are actually affected by this problem. As soon as we know more, we will of course report on it. (Photo by Unsplash / Nicolas Lafargue)
