After the overheating problem, many HomePod users complain about the upgrade of 14.6 bricking their devices

Following the report a few days ago that there was a serious overheating problem in upgrading to iOS 15.0 Beta, there are now HomePod users reporting on the Reddit community: After upgrading to version 14.6, certain configurations especially when pairing with Apple TV, will bricking the HomePod.

A Reddit user stated that there are 19 HomePods in the home, 7 of which have been bricked after the upgrade. The user stated that 3 of them are release versions, and 4 are Beta versions, and both versions have the above-mentioned problems.

At present, more and more users are recruited on this issue, and Apple has not yet responded.

Since the original HomePod has been discontinued, and once the beta version is installed, there is no way to easily downgrade to the previous HomePod software version. According to the terms and conditions of Apple’s beta software program, the company is not responsible for any damage caused by the beta, so damage to HomePod is not covered by the warranty.

Although only invited users can install the AppleSeed beta. However, the firmware has been leaked online, so the number of affected users is not yet known.
