Hi,
Just wanted to make note that the HomePod will allow Apple Developer iOS versions to be installed. If you’re an Apple Developer, just log into the Developer website using your iPhone or whatever iOS device you use to manage your HomePod. In the downloads section, add the iOS OTA Configuration profile for the latest iOS version (even if you already have the config profile installed on your current device).
You will be asked if you want to install that profile to the HomePod, and after doing so you should be all set. The profile will be listed in the new “Profiles & Device Management” section of the HomePod’s settings (in the Home app), and updates are managed from the Home’s (Location) settings within the Home app.
There currently aren’t any new updates, but I imagine we'll be given the opportunity to install / test the new betas as they become available. I unplugged my HomePod after installing the configuration profile, to make sure that it was applied, and also rebooted my phone to see if doing so might allow me to see new updates, but no dice so far. I imagine they’ll release an update soon.
Happy Listening!
