HomePod HomePod Burning smell

[Macdude2010]

hello,
I got my HomePod this morning and have pretty much been playing it nonstop since the morning. I got close to it and noticed it smells a little like something is warm/burning in it. Any other people notice that?

New electronics can have a bit of odor when new.

It's likely the heat being generated from the components/hardware after long periods of usage, but if it starts to become pungent or rather strong, then I would not use it and contact Apple.

I'm going to be a dissenter and say none of my new electronics ever had a burning smell eminating from them. I'm not sure that's normal.

I am guess that “burning” has a wide range of perception just like my iPhone is hot!

I am betting most could smell the same thing after running the HomePod at moderate volume for a while to heat it up.
