Apple is developing an all-new operating system called homeOS for its long-rumored smart home hub, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The platform blends elements of tvOS, watchOS, and iOS, with a grid of app icons, widgets, facial recognition, and Siri AI at its core. The hub, featuring a 6- or 7-inch square display, could be announced as soon as October.
