So what's the reason behind making the cable non-user friendly to detach? What's the benefit to the Homepod? Is there any electrical compliance reason?
Apple’s lawyers are probably sh*ting bricks right now. There is no way that “connector” they used is UL compliant, and if a cord is “user removable” the connector had better be UL compliant. I have to wonder if their entire UL certification is now in question.
