Apple Anticipates Launch of HomeOS and Smart Home Devices Before 2026

Apple is expected to unveil its HomeOS platform and related hardware, including a home hub and other smart home devices, around March 2024, with a broader rollout planned for spring 2026. The launch has been delayed due to Siri upgrade issues, but early updates may arrive at an upcoming consumer-focused event. The new ecosystem aims to unify smart home control across various devices, leveraging upgraded Siri, Thread technology, and Apple’s existing products.
