The trademark application for "homeOS" is exposed, and Apple's smart home system is about to be launched
Apple may have applied for the trademark "homeOS" in many places around the world through a shell company called Home Operations Suite LLC. If Apple really wants to make a difference in the smart home ecosystem, homeOS is obviously a necessary condition. Today, iOS can no longer become the center of Apple's smart home. Apple, Amazon, Google, and related domestic companies all use smart speakers, rather than mobile phones as controllers of the smart home ecosystem.
