- Happy Home Pod Day, is that a thing?
- I think so.
- Okay, so here's the deal.
It's Saturday, we were not
planning on filming a video today
and then we've been hit up by everybody.
We just published our
What's Inside Dinosaur Poop,
which I think was a really fun video.
And everybody's like,
cut open the Home Pod
what's inside of it?
So Lincoln and I just went
and we bought these three right here.
- Uh, yeah.
- So we're gonna destroy one,
take it apart, see what's inside.
This thing is supposed
to have seven microphones
and eight speakers in it along
with the giant subwoofer.
So, it will be interesting
to see what's inside of it.
I know there's been a ton
of videos that are about
the Home Pod but I don't
think any of them yet
show like, really what's inside of it.
So, the other thing I
think we need to do is
one of these we should
give away to you guys.
So if you want one of these Home Pods
look in the description.
We're gonna make this a short giveaway
just like five days.
So yeah, Home Pod day. This is gonna be...
- Home Pod Day
- Oh you're getting it out,
let's get it out right now.
It is pretty.
- Whoa, it's heavy!
Oh that's heavy!
- Is it?
- Yeah!
- So, this is your Home
Pod here. See that?
The bottom of it has the Apple logo on it.
All around the speaker it's
just one giant, comfortable
speaker type feeling.
- It's squishy.
- It is squishy.
Let's see how the music sounds.
(bright pop music)
- It's loud.
Sounds good.
- Hey Siri? Pause music.
- That was surprising
that it can hear you.
- Yeah, it can still hear me.
What do I think about this speaker?
It's louder than a lot
of the smaller speakers
that we've tested out before.
Hey Siri? Should we cut
open this Google Home Pod?
Google Home Pod (laughs loudly)
Should we cut open this Apple Home Pod?
- (Siri) I'm not sure what to say.
- Hey Siri? Does this ax scare you?
Can you hear me?
- (Siri) You're coming through
loud and clear. Go ahead.
- That's good.
- Hey Siri? Are you
scared of this pickaxe?
Whenever you ask her if
she's scared of something
she doesn't respond.
- Hey Siri? What are you scared of?
- (Siri) I'm afraid I can't answer that.
- I'm not sure how you're
supposed to get into this thing
because if you look at it...
- There's no screws,
there's no way to open it.
- Right.
Okay so here is the plan.
I think the first thing that
we need to do is skin this pod.
Skin it.
- Go ahead, skin it.
- Let's cut all this stuff off.
Oh! It cuts in it pretty easily.
- Whoa!
- Wow. Let's cut around the edges.
Alright, we've made it all
the way around the circle.
Let's see if I cut it all the way though.
I may have missed some spots.
Alright, so we got the
outer layer of this mesh,
it's this mesh that's
pretty thick, feel that.
It feels like a sock, this
black material right here.
We have Home Pod that is
just plastic pod currently.
With this part on the outside.
It just comes right out.
It's just underneath there
there's this little seal
that goes around. Question
is does this still work
without this mesh and this sock?
- What? I didn't know---(loud music plays)
Whoa! Look at her!
- This still works.
And we can see a speaker underneath here.
Like when you turn on the music
you can see what looks like
a subwoofer just bouncing
like a bigger speaker on top.
I thought that because
it's heavier on the bottom,
it feels heavier on the bottom,
that maybe the magnet
would be on the bottom
and the speaker would be down
that way maybe pushing down
but it looks like the biggest speaker
has gotta be on the top
so ... I don't know.
- (Siri) Sorry, I'm unable
to do that. (loud music)
- Hey Siri? Pause the music.
This thing is pretty tough
built. I have this hatchet here
and that could help us just kinda
crack it open a little bit.
- Made some scratch marks.
- Ya know when they put
these things together
there's gotta be a way to get in.
I just don't see where that way would be.
Dremel, Dremel.
- Do you like Dremels?
- (Siri) I can't get the
answer to that on Home Pod.
- That stuffs hot.
- We're in the Home Pod.
There's the giant speaker.
There's one side over
here that has the ribbon
and it goes down to be able to talk to it.
- Wow!
- So the thing that I like
about this is the top of it
is really the subwoofer, the main speaker.
It takes up the entire space.
All of the treble and the other noises
come out of the bottom.
Now this is supposed to
be an adapted speaker
so it listens to your
room and sends out whether
you are sitting over on
that side of the room
or that side of the room.
You should hear it the
same, it listens to the wall
and changes based off of it.
But for being such a small, compact thing,
the subwoofers are pretty good size.
Check it out when it moves to the bass.
Whoa! Look at that thing!
That's really strong when you touch it!
- That's so weird.
(loud music)
- Aw, poor Siri, I'm sorry.
I'm not really that sorry.
Very impressive brains up here at the top
where it shows everything
that's inside of that case.
And then, it also has some sort of sensor
that when you tap it, it
starts playing the music.
So what I think I want to do
now is just take the Dremel
and cut clear across the middle,
see if we can open it up.
It's about a half inch thick of plastic
but I'm still gonna try to cut around here
and see if we can actually
get in with the Dremel.
Aw, did we finally kill it?
- Hey Siri?
- Hey Siri? Play music.
Hey Siri? Are you alive?
- Nope.
- Apparently Siri can not handle
a Dremel across her belly.
- Your hands!
- My hands are dirty. My hands are black.
(both scream)
We did it! Holy smokes that is cool!
- Big chipboard.
- That is so cool, are you kidding me?
- There's like copper wires
right there then there's
speakers, I bet that that's a speaker.
- Well that's the bottom of the speaker.
So you've got the speaker up top.
Now that Siri is not working let's just
finish the job up here.
Oh, it's just unplugged.
We've effectively cut this in half.
I mean, check that out.
This entire top half is just the speaker
and then of course on top
the chip that talks to Siri.
- That's the entire top half.
That probably makes it
one of the main reasons
why it's so heavy.
- Feel it.
That's it. This is super light.
It's supposed to have seven
sensors and eight speakers.
But down here, you have
these little batteries.
All the screws are out.
- What? And nothing fell out.
- Okay so we opened this up.
This is the power line that comes in.
It comes into the front, it grabs this
and it goes up to this metal, middle part.
- Oh whoa! Those are
all little speakers huh?
- So these must be the speakers.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
So yeah, that's either the
speakers or the sensors.
I just wanna see the tweeters.
Tweeters? Is that what you call it?
- The tweeters! I want the tweeters!
- And I think that
they're inside of there.
The power cable actually
comes out quite easily.
I didn't break it. I just pulled it out.
And you can see it just has
two little notches on it.
Get outta the way. This is it.
Yeah!
I smashed it open. We gotta hole in it.
And now I've got another
one of these guys.
It's just like these little pods.
There's pods within the Home Pods.
I don't know why they make these little...
what do they call them?
Treble pods? Treble speakers?
So hard to get in to.
They're just these little guys right here.
But, I did break one of them.
You can see the little
speaker, it is small.
- Wow! That is a really small speaker.
- There's some oil on me from it.
Okay, so here's another
one that we broke open.
And if you look inside of
there is a little speaker.
And it just has the
tiniest hole at the bottom
where all the treble can come out of.
Seven of these little speakers.
One of these giant speakers.
The top where Siri talks
to you and you can tap
and do all that stuff.
- Then all of this cool
technology right here
that I don't have a clue how it works.
- Well somewhere in here,
and I'm guessing it's on this board,
they did say there are
seven sound sensors.
Where they are listening to the sound
and then changing how much noise goes out
and where the sound goes out of.
I think that's probably
something for more of a technical
person, like Jerry Rig
Everything, when he takes it apart
maybe he can explain
where the sensors are.
Is it this giant thing
with the batteries in there
with this, cause what
in the world is this?
Is this speaker actually a magnet?
There are some screws that we took out.
Let's see if we can find any of them.
- Oh here's one.
- There they all are, stuck on there.
All those screws.
- Those are mine, I will take that.
- Now Lincoln is taking over this.
- This was awesome. Thank you
for all of your suggestions.
But you cut open a Home Pod.
If you would like to have this Home Pod
the instructions are down
below of how to win this.
- We're not gonna give
you this broken one.
We'll keep this one. We'll give
you a full functioning one.
You'll have to have an Apple phone
so don't enter if you
don't have an Apple phone.
- Don't enter.
- Just don't do it. Unless you
just want to resell on Ebay.
Then go ahead and enter
and we won't open this.
- You can go resell it or
you can have an Apple phone.
Don't be like Zac, don't.
