iOS 13.2 ‘bricking’ some HomePods.

With my previous post in mind, to illustrate just how tricky just how tricky software development can be. [macrumors.com]

According to multiple people on the MacRumors forums and Reddit, the 13.2 update “bricked” their HomePods, rendering them unusable. Users who are seeing problems are experiencing a “white swirl” on both of their HomePods, or an endless reset loop.

Even for giant corporations like Apple, modern software is so complex even critical bugs like this can slip through.
