'''audioOS''' (publicly called '''HomePod Software<ref name="Apple aboutHomePodSoftware">{{cite web |title=About Software Updates for HomePod |url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208714 |access-date=23 January 2023 |website=Apple Support |language=en}}</ref>''') is an [[operating system]] developed by [[Apple Inc.]] for its [[smart speaker]]s, the [[HomePod]] and [[HomePod Mini]]. It was launched alongside the release of the original HomePod, released on February 9, 2018. |
|||
==History== |
|||
After the release of the HomePod's first update, iOS 11.3, users complained online that the update had worsened their HomePod's bass and decreased its loudness, which was not alluded to in Apple's official release notes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Disgruntled HomePod owners say firmware update alters sound quality |url=https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/03/30/disgruntled-homepod-owners-say-firmware-update-alters-sound-quality |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=AppleInsider |language=en}}</ref> Dwight Silverman of the ''Houston Chronicle'' agreed with these observations, though Apple denied that the update contained any updates to the HomePod's [[Equalization (audio)|equalization]] settings.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Silverman |first=Dwight |date=2018-03-30 |title=Did the HomePod's software update tone down its bass?

|||
The iOS 13.2 update had a bug which would brick HomePods if a system reset was attempted; Apple withdrew the update.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apple withdraws HomePod update after units are bricked |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/673105/homepod-software-how-to-update-and-get-new-features.html |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=Macworld |language=en}}</ref> |
|||
audioOS 14.1 added the Intercom feature.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cross |first=Jason |date=October 20, 2020 |title=Apple releases HomePod software update 14.1 with Intercom and other enhancements |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/234715/apple-releases-homepod-software-update-141-with-intercom-and-other-enhancements.html |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=Macworld |language=en}}</ref> |
|||
In 2021, an Apple job listing referenced a non-existent "homeOS" operating system, echoing previous ''Bloomberg'' leaks about possible future Apple products for the living room that would merge the Apple TV and HomePod.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apple Once Again Refers to Unreleased 'homeOS' in Job Listing [Removed] |url=https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/03/apple-refers-to-homeos-job-listings/ |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=MacRumors |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Axon |first=Samuel |date=2021-06-02 |title=Apple's "homeOS" slip fits with prior rumors about new smart home products |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/apple-job-listing-mentions-homeos-days-before-wwdc-keynote/ |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-01-18 |title=Apple to Expand Smart-Home Lineup, Taking On Amazon and Google |language=en |work=Bloomberg.com |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-18/apple-to-expand-smart-home-lineup-taking-on-amazon-and-google |access-date=2023-01-23}}</ref> |
|||
==Features== |
|||
audioOS's main user-facing features are [[AirPlay 2]] and [[Siri]]. |
|||
==Development== |
|||
Though it was initially a fork of [[iOS]],<ref name="Apple aboutHomePodSoftware" /> since version 13.4, it is a fork of [[tvOS]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Espósito |first1=Filipe |date=13 April 2020 |title=HomePod now runs on tvOS, here's what that could mean |url=https://9to5mac.com/2020/04/13/homepod-now-runs-on-tvos-heres-what-that-could-mean/ |access-date=23 January 2023 |website=[[9to5Mac]]}}</ref> Software updates are installed automatically [[Over-the-air update|over-the-air]], but can also be installed manually through the [[Home (Apple)|Home]] app.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Keller |first1=Joseph |date=14 March 2022 |title=How to install software updates for your HomePod or HomePod mini |url=https://www.imore.com/how-install-software-updates-your-homepod |website=iMore |language=en}}</ref> |
|||
While Apple publicly calls this OS "HomePod Software", the build manifest in [[IPSW|.ipsw]] update files for the HomePod shows its name as "audioOS".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rambo |first=Guilherme |date=2018-03-29 |title=Apple releasing first HomePod software update alongside iOS 11.3 today (U: Now available) |url=https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/29/homepod-audioos-11-3/ |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=9to5Mac |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=OTA for the HomePod |url=https://ipsw.me/otas/AudioAccessory1,1 |access-date=2023-01-23 |website=IPSW.me}}</ref> |
