Thank you Canada Post and Best Buy 🥰



It's my first full-sized HomePod so I'm pretty excited.

It looks great. Hope you enjoy it.

Congrats! Can you please share which OS version it shipped with? This informs how those of us with Advanced Data Protection should approach setup.

It has to come with 16.3.

It has to come with 16.3.

Wondering if OP can find the build number

It has to come with 16.3.

One reviewer's video (iJustine) had a shot of it in the process of upgrading to 16.3. The key is whether it's 16.2 or earlier, as 16.2 is the minimum for compatibility with ADP.

Nope.

It came with 16.0.

Congraz! Can you help to measure the diameter of the plug to the main HomePod body? Trying to estimate if it is able to pass through my cable management hole before purchasing...

Enjoy, it looks great! Slightly off-topic but how do you like the Orion browser?

You can use any figure 8 cable

Just saw your first picture on my phone and though “damn, what a view”. Then I realized it’s just your Mac wallpaper 🙃

Congratulations!! Once it’s set up let us know how you like it! If it’s your first HomePod I guess you don’t have anything to compare it to, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the sound! If it fills the room, spatial audio with just one, etc.

 

[TechnoMonk]

Congrats! Enjoy your HomePod.

 

[Aaronp613]

Nope.


It came with 16.0.

Do you know the build number?

 

[BadMacRumours]

Do you know the build number?

Nope, sorry - it insisted on updating rather quickly, didn't end up taking a screenshot beforehand.

how's the sound quality?

 

[ElderMacMan]

I’m doubting mine will arrive when promised. I live in a rural area. it’s been a full day now in label prepared status. The update on my HomePod mini seems to have improved the sound quality. I use iTunes Match and have a very distinctive percussion oriented library.

I’m sorry this is very off topic. Are you a drummer or percussionist?
I don’t want to derail this thread, so you can PM me if you prefer.

No, not a musician; just appreciate it as listener.

It’s awesome. Better than I could imagine!

I ordered mine "pick-up in store" today! Im so excited! Waiting "un-"patiently till 10am!

 

[ElderMacMan]

Arrived on schedule to my surprise. The setup was intuitive but the update took awhile and because until it reached the ready/install point no bright light swirl was happening it had me worried. Once it was set up — wonderful. Impressive. Showing up in my device list and care coverage confirmed.

My two new HomePods are both stuck on "Configuring." I have tried a couple of resets and tricks such as connecting to a Personal Hotspot to no avail. Leaving it in that state overnight now in the hope that it sorts itself out, but I'm not optimistic. I can play music through them but not as a stereo pair.

The new HomePod is being Assembled in Vietnam 🇻🇳. So stoked!!!
