1. What is the difference between this and HomePod version 1? Because I'm struggling to see anything different to the original.
2. Does it come with a removable USB C cable or are you stuck with the stupid, permanently attached 1m cable that requires you to buy either power or USB C extension cables rather than just a longer usb c cable if you want to use it anywhere where there's not a socket?
- Kirby64 4y agoThis is the HomePod full size, not the Mini; the power cable is a standard power cable... not a USB-C cable. Differences vs. version 1 that I can see: * Thread Hub capabilities * Ultrawideband chip support, for locating devices * Fewer microphones/speakers compared to v1 * Slightly lighter? Probably from fewer speakers. Notably, the V1 HomePod was discontinued... so not a lot of that matters. You haven't been able to buy a V1 HomePod for awhile now.
- Traubenfuchs 4y ago> Ultrawideband chip support, for locating devices Excuse me? Are you trying to find your fat, lost homepod or find other lost devices with the fat homepod?
- shaunsingh0207 4y agoIt also (should) handoff a lot more seamless, as seen on the HomePod mini
- Kirby64 4y agoIt think it's mainly used for determining if your phone/ipad/whatever is close to the homepod so it can do the handoff of music seamlessly. The minis have it too, but the original homepod did not.
- zuhsetaqi 4y agoIIRC the power cable is not permanently attached it's just very strongly attached but removable
- gcr 4y agoI mean, anything’s removable if you pull hard enough
