Apple is gearing up to release its much-anticipated homeOS, designed as the central operating system for smart home devices. Expected to debut later this year, homeOS will integrate seamlessly with the HomePad, featuring familiar layouts akin to iOS and iPadOS. Users can anticipate Widgets for quick access to essential apps and enhanced voice control capabilities via Siri and Apple Intelligence. Although it won't initially have its own App Store, the system aims to elevate user experience with smart home controls and a new robotic assistant. Official confirmation from Apple is still pending.
