Apple Previews homeOS and 'Home Secure Video' — An Ambient-AI Push Built Around the Upcoming HomePad
Alongside Siri AI, WWDC 2026 unveiled a developer preview of homeOS, a new OS for Apple's not-yet-shipping HomePad (a HomePod with a 7-inch display and A18 chip, expected autumn 2026), plus Apple Home Secure Video, which links Apple Intelligence to security cameras to generate descriptions of recorded events. Apple shipped the software preview first so developers can build apps ahead of the hardware. It signals Apple staking out the ambient/home-hub surface for AI agents — a category where Amazon and Google have led — and gives developers a head start on a new platform.
