HomePod Mini running 18.6 build 22M5054/b - will not update to HomePod OS26
have tried un-enrollment, reset, removal, etc - no dice - anyone else seeing this ? Any known work arounds ?
iPad is running iPadOS 26 Relase 2 - 23A5276f
HomePodOS 26 Not installing
I am experiencing the same issue? Anybody? Bueller?
An Update - after some more due diligence and reviewing other forums - this issue appears to be very common.
I even performed a restore of a HomePod running 18.5 via my Mac and still no ability to update to the TVOS 26 beta
Several forums have indicated that if you are not a member of the Apple Seeds program - that you'll simply need to wait until the public beta...
I've also noticed that even on Apple's Beta site - when you click on HomePod Software - the page still referes to 18.x - not 26.
