Apple develops devices and software for smart home automation and control.
Apple has developed a new operating system (OS) for home gadgets. Bloomberg reports this.
According to authoritative insider Mark Gurman, the new OS is essentially a mix of tvOS, watchOS and iOS - operating systems for set-top boxes, smartwatches and smartphones, respectively. The new software platform is designed for the long-discussed smart home control center that Apple is due to introduce.
Gurman noted that such a control center would have a facial recognition system and understand which user is looking at the screen and show personalized information. Most likely, the device will have a 6- or 7-inch display. The insider also said that the home device will work with Siri based on artificial intelligence (AI), support video calls via FaceTime and control HomeKit smart home accessories.
The material says that the new system will join iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS. Presumably, it will be called homeOS, a name patented by a company discovered by Bloomberg, probably associated with Apple. Mark Gurman concluded that Apple will introduce a new OS in October.
