-[* black] We peel back another layer in this tube-shaped [https://media.giphy.com/media/duLJ3RpmXQove/giphy.gif|onion|new_window=true]. This latest metal disk holds the drawstring mooring posts and reveals another board!
+[* black] Peeling back yet another disk, turns out this one holds the excess drawstring and posts (seriously, how do these work?), and also reveals another board!
[* black] Chipwise we spy:
[* red] Apple A8 APL1011 SoC ([guide|29213|we’ve seen this before|stepid=69254|new_window=true])
[* orange] Toshiba THGBX4G7D2LLDYC flash memory
[* yellow] USI 339S00450 (WiFi/Bluetooth Module?)
[* green] 338S00100-AZ
[* black] Interestingly, [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/UYNZVyo2AiAL1djs|the reverse|new_window=true] has some unpopulated SMD pads, for a few chips and several passives. Maybe the HomePod underwent some last-minute design changes?
