New 13.2 Update Bricking Some HomePods [Update Pulled by Apple]

Mine was downloading too when I checked, but I turned off auto update, and it didn't install after downloading. The update pane offers me an option to "Install" now, but needless to say, I'm going to wait.
Google bricked Google Home Minis LAST WEEK. Go ahead, Google it.
Damn, I can't believe I bought 2 HomePods at a heavily discount price, only to be let down by the fact that I can only play all the music I've ever wanted to
HomePod SUCKS

I've never heard of something happening, so it must have never happened.

Then reset it, like a normal person? Sure, right this moment ain't a good time if you managed to update yours to 12.3, but this is a small window over a nearly 2 year long life time of the product. Do you regularly buy expensive products and then disregard them at the first sign of a bug?
I was checking to make sure mine was NOT on automatic update and its NOT but under My Home I see the icon for my Homepod and it says "updating" but its not going to update right its just downloading?

lol the internet, can’t beat it
Yeah I see on my iPad that the update is "Downloading" but I wont update it since install updates automatically is turned off
That is what I see too..but I think after it downloads the update you have the option to install it you dont have to..mine is set to NOT install automatically but its downloading something I just wont install the darn thing
ok so this is starting to make sense then. HomePod shows there is an update, it download but won't install.
maybe Apple pulled the update.

Yikes, get an Echo like the rest of us and put the money you save toward a nice dinner or something.
Yeah for me when I go to my Home it says homepod "Updating" but my setting is set to not install updates automatically and nothing is downloading not sure why it says its updating its updating nothing
Edit:
Ok so apparently it did download the update but it gives you an option to install it which I wont
It’s interesting I turned off auto update on iphone and then went to look on Mac and it was trying to download or install it was not clear. But looking in settings its turned off on Mac also. Weird it seems to be trying to download via/thru my Mac and iPad but again auto updates off. Phew... thought it was gonna get me anyway but I seem to have killed it
Mine says it's requesting an update but isn't doing anything. It is set to auto update, but again, it's not downloading.
It's a shame that we have to come HERE to find out about this. APPLE, you know, the TRILLION dollar company should be earning us. SMH.

Turn off autoupdate straight away. If you had it turned on, it started downloading and you turn it off before it finishes, it won't then automatically install - when the download finishes you'll see an 'Install' button (which you don't want to press, of course!)
The funny thing is the company doesn't have a clue on their end this is going on and every one always acts surprised just like when you go into a retail store. This is the first I'm hearing of this.
Don’t understand Apple sometimes, just put in a recovery rom, it prevents this from happening as you can allways just boot into a recovery state from embed rom to perform a reinstall of the firmware or go back to the previous firmware.
Apple make third grade products and don’t bring much culture in there products.

My setting is set to NOT install updates automatically..but it did download the update it just didnt install..so what happens when Apple finally fixes this monstrocity, does the new update overwrite the bad one or how does it work
I ended up reading the reviews and the considering some of the premises of the shows.
I will watch, but I am not getting my hopes up!
This is why I think the user should always have a reset function of this caliber for all devices they own. It is dumb to me that the AW has a "diagnostic" port that we don't have a USB cable to connect to when something goes wrong. And not even an Apple Store can do this for us, how unnecessary.
Funny thing all my ios and Mac devices have update turned off but it seems to keep trying to download and then goes back to there is update and gives me option to download again. I look back at it and it is again trying to download really weird. I think I killed the first attempt on my phone so it does not appear it is downloaded but hope it is not I would assume if it is they over write it.
