Apple's smart home ambitions will hit the market next year, and it seems they will boot an entirely new OS with Apple Intelligence leading the charge.
Apple has reportedly been working on a new kind of display-focused smart home device for a while now, and it seems it will arrive as early as next year. Now, Bloomberg reports that Apple is eyeing not one but two such devices across different price points and that they will mark the era of a new AI-first software approach.
Recommended Videos Unlike the approach that Apple took with the Vision Pro, which was all about flexing the engineering muscles and imagining an entirely new approach to computing, the company’s foray into the field of smart display will likely start at the lower end of the price spectrum, or specifically, the device codenamed J490.
Related “The Apple Intelligence tools will be at the heart of both products, helping the company bring AI into the home,” says the Bloomberg report. With the integration of AI at the center of the experience, Apple will reportedly rebadge the software as well. It seems that just the way we got iPadOS forked from the iOS experience, the software bundle on the upcoming smart home devices will be branded as homeOS.
The upcoming smart home devices are said to be borne out of a collaboration between Apple’s AI and hardware engineering units. Bloomberg’s report mentions that when the devices were in the prototype engineering stage, there were design concepts that envisioned these devices attaching to walls using a magnetic mount system.
