Removing the HomePod Power cable is possible, you just have to exert a lot of force. Disclaimer: Apple is *not* recommending that you do this. You may still encounter a fee if your cable and/or HomePod needs to be repaired, and you may still have to ship it off to Apple for repairs.

I apologize for the multiple uploads. The first time I made a mistake, and the second time, YouTube got borked. Last one, promise! Thanks for your understanding.
9to5Mac Third time’s a charm.
9to5Mac np problem buddy :3 like all your videos they are pretty good :3 I have a question though? even though the cable can come out, do you think tht pulling on the cord would put stress on the internal wires and possibly stretch them out sense it takes so much force to pull it out?
9to5Mac Iijkjkj
Lets just hope this isn’t a potential fire hazard after the AirPods caught fire. I’m going to bed to get some sleep. Another good day ending badly.
Why?
They made a good job of making it look non-detachable. And it would have made them stupid looking if it were non-detachable. third party cables will come.
Props to the guy who first risked pulling the cable that hard.
Really, any power cable is removable if you pull hard enough
LOL Joel
Joel Bernstein but someone has to try it first right 🙂
Joel Bernstein haha
Yet another custom cable to add to Apple’s cablegate mentality.
I just love how they keep telling us how environmental they are.
g ride I mean what cable did you expect them to use? Lightning? USB C? Jeez…
Ghaith Chargui a normal powercord?!
Ghaith Chargui Yes, why wouldn’t they? USB C is plenty powerful enough to drive this small speaker
I kind of wish it has some kind of battery for fully wireless experience.
Jimmy Gunawan, it’s too big and heavy for it to be portable
Nahid Islam HomePod Mini then.
I would love a HomePod Mini
Never pull out…
Haha.
Better safe than sorry …
I bet knowing this will now push all sorts of 3rd party cables to the market.
I bet this made this way so if it’s mounted high up or secured by fastening the power cable some how, if it falls the pounds of force required to pull the plug out is enough to hold the homepod by the wire so it doesn’t fall. Like, in case it’s mounted high up or something.
the all youtubers says that Power cable is not possible to remove but…you prove it possible …great….
Whaaaaaaa
It was removable for all of this time?
Any sense of pulling it out?
Drilling a small hole into the desk to make the Homepod look cable free.
Get rid of your cat to avoid this problem!
Call me cynical, but I suspect that the reason Apple made it this way is so that the average user wouldn’t know that it’s removable. Then one day if the cable gets frayed or needs replacement, they’ll take it to an Apple store thinking it needs professional disassembly and servicing, not knowing that the cable is removable. The Apple techs then simply give the cable a good old tug and pop in a new one. This way Apple rakes in big bucks performing repairs that take 30 seconds and minimal effort, all the while the users are none the wiser. Would anyone agree with this? Why do you think they’d do something like this?
theRamosRocket pretty much lol this is how businesses compete with each other in all walks of life. If there is human greed behind it, undoubtedly we get treated to creativity like this haha
theRamosRocket you’re overthinking calm down
Lol…. possible. It’s Apple and their services.
Disappointed it doesn’t work without the cable
