Apple is developing an all-new operating system codenamed "Charismatic," according to 's Mark Gurman.This is likely Apple's long-rumored "homeOS" operating system.In a report this week, Gurman said both Apple's rumored smart home hub in 2026 and tabletop robot in 2027 will run the new operating system.
He said the software platform will blend elements of tvOS and watchOS.For example, he expects there to be a hexagonal grid of apps, just like on the Apple Watch.The platform largely revolves around clock faces and widgets, and it will have multi-user support, Gurman said.
Users will primarily interact with it using Siri voice commands, but touch will also be an option, he said.Some of the preinstalled apps from Apple will apparently include Calendar, Camera, Music, Reminders, and Notes.Here is what he said about multi-user support: We should learn more about the new operating system over the coming months.
