Apple reportedly plans to launch new Home products on October 13 alongside an all-new operating system rumored to be called ‘home OS.’ Here are the details.
home OS will run on new ‘Home Pad’ product, featuring a blend of other Apple OS designs. Per Mark Gurman, it includes iPhone-style widgets, iPad-like app designs, and Apple Watch-style icons for its Home Screen. The default UI “is built heavily around photo slideshows and clock displays, similar to the new Stand By Mode on the upcoming iPhone Duo.”
Siri AI is the central input method, but Apple apps and a Home Screen will also be available via touch. Built-in apps include Music, Podcasts, Photos, Weather, FaceTime, Notes, Calendar, Messages, Reminders, and more. No App Store is expected, but third-party widgets can be brought over from your iPhone.
