audioOS (also known as HomePod Software) – the Apple dedicated operating system for the HomePod and HomePod mini smart speakers.
The HomePod runs HomePod Software, internally known as audioOS, a forked version of tvOS. It was launched alongside the release of the original HomePod, released on February 9, 2018.
Though it was initially a fork of iOS, since version 13.4 in 2020, it has been a fork of tvOS. Software updates are installed automatically over-the-air, but can also be installed manually through the Home app. audioOS’s main user-facing features are AirPlay 2 and Siri.
It manages audio playback (Apple Music, AirPlay 2), supports Siri, home control (HomeKit), and stereo pairing.
The system does not have its own user interface; its shell is called “SoundBoard.”
