Can HomePod be locked by an apple account.
I recently sold my HomePod to a mail-in company, and they are now claiming that it is locked to my Apple account. I have informed them that the device is not listed under “Find My Device,” “Home,” or on apple.com under my devices. I have also explained that they should be able to reset the HomePod by following the standard reset procedure. However, they insist that I need to remove it from apple first
I have a couple of questions regarding the security features and reset procedures for HomePods:
- HomePod Security: I understand that HomePods do not have activation locks like iPhones and iPads, making it impossible to lock them down using the Find My Device feature. Could you please confirm if this is correct?
- Reset Procedure: If a HomePod needs to be reset, my understanding is that this can be done by powering off the device, then holding the top button until Siri announces that the device will reset after three beeps. Could you confirm if this is the correct method
Can someone confirm my 2 points.
