HomePod failures are common >2yrs old. Not a new thing. That may explain the 14.6 failures.
Got a tip for us?

Fried TimeCapsules were a complete disaster for Apple. The thread on the Apple forums was legendary. I still believe Apple redesigned their forums to the new format specifically to hide threads like that.
So your warranty expired in less than 2 months? Suuuure.
Apple software has been a complete and total disaster for ages and everyone knows it. This is not a secret. Apple software has been on an unending slide into mediocrity for longer than I can remember. Eddy Cue is a complete and total failure as a leader as he has presided over Apple software becoming a laughing stock.
Dude try and keep up. I already explained this above as that is what Apple told me at my local store. I'm going to take it back in and make them fix it for free.
Got lucky(So far). Been using the same TimeCap since 2011! Through many a storm and power outage . Of course, also have other backup media such as CCC.
Mine are more than 2 years old. Not arguing but where is your data?
I dont believe you for one second. Apple surely knows their own warranties. I've had service many times at Apple and they run the serial numbers right away to establish warranty status. Your story reeks of being made up.
What is an Apple Subwoofer? Google searches turn up nothing on this product.
Lol ok. Why on earth would I make that up? But whaaaaaaatevvvvver pal.
Yes, 'Inquiring minds' want to know! Something to do with this plastic/see through speakers of long ago? That plastic large 'de-pitted olive' shaped thing?
He's most likely talking about the Apple HiFi Speaker they released a while ago.
Hello everybody.
Just found this: disabling intercom and "tap to use Siri" is enough to cool down your Homepod.
Experimenting, I have found this. No need to disable Siri itself, just these two things. Worked with my original homepods stereo pair, and with my single mini in the kitchen. All of them were alarmingly hot today (to the touch), and this setting change brought them to normal in about a couple of minutes.

This is what I inferred from the HomePod subreddit. Got mine replaced at the one year Mark for explicitly this reason.
Enjoy them while they last. Since they're locked into Apples BS ecosystem, and they have no aux or bluetooth input, be ready for the day when they're moderately decent sounding paperweights.
how on earth is expressing my option that he's a dork INFRINGING ON SOMEONE ELSE? If you can explain that to me, then you get a gold star for the day.
don’t give up with it! You got the right for replacement if firmware wasn‘t beta. Apple should always take responsibility for their mistakes.
infringing on that person... by calling him a dork, of course, which is not a nice thing to say. My point is, having fun by judging other people, calling them things or insulting them is not ok.
Knew that when I bought them -- not some revelation.
I don't need your empathy or disdain.
Been in this business for over 30 years, I've thrown away more technology than most people would ever own. It's a zero sum game.
I'm far more upset about not being able to moderately update my 2013MP. Want to talk **** about that too?
Aww, so sensitive.
Here’s a fact: Sometimes people do stuff that is stupid, evil, silly, funny, tragic, horrifying ... in your world are we NEVER allowed to point it out. Are we all just supposed to be lobotomized stepford wives who just nicely nod to all the stupid stuff we see people do and say?
Sorry if you find me expressing my option of him as “not ok”. That’s how you live your life. But in my life not calling someone out for doing something dumb is “not ok”.
So I guess we’re at a standoff here lol
Here’s the thing: You’re the one telling me I don’t have grounds to express myself. I’m not telling you to not express yourself, but you’re suggesting somehow my expresssion should be censored. In other words, you’re not simply saying you disagree with me, and that a guy who bought 19 homepods is a genius - instead you’re saying “Nicole, you shouldn’t be saying he’s a dork”.
Am I right?

how many kids (I see you have at least one)? How many pairs of jeans? What is the acceptable number of pets in the house? Since I'm single may I have more than four dinner plates or is that dorky? How often do you douche? you seem to think we get to judge anyone for anything... how many cars do you have? What is your debt ratio? Do you have an education? Do you have a job? Are you aware your profile name is searchable? Do you have any clue how creepy it is to judge people living their lives?
GO AWAY
for anyone that doesn't get it, that is all tongue in cheek.
smells a lot like the shithouse door off a shrimp boat -- your opinion.

The HomePod was a moronic ‘locked in the apple ecosystem’ product like no other from the start. So you knew that, and bought a couple anyway. No secret why apple keeps making money hand over fist with these kind of discriminating customers!

Yes sorry, but my point is I’m allowed to stay, and offer my ‘opinion’. You don’t like opinions? I’m sure you have plenty of them! Just the fact that you don’t like this one opinion of mine doesn’t mean I should ‘go away’.

I have no complaints with them. That is what is lost on you.
I don't even have a problem with your argument -- but judging people for their purchases is just stupid and shortsighted. I could go off on you for thousands fo words on having kids in this world.....but again, I'm a sentient being -- I have empathy for less intelligent beings.
