Apple is advancing its software ecosystem with two key developments. The company is currently testing the seventh beta version of macOS 26 Tahoe, which has shown increased stability ahead of its planned official release in September 2025. Concurrently, Apple is reportedly developing a new operating system internally codenamed "Charismatic." This OS is believed to be the long-rumored homeOS platform designed for smart home devices. Sources indicate that Charismatic will integrate features from tvOS and watchOS and is expected to debut on Apple's 2026 smart home hub and a 2027 desktop robot, signaling the company's expansion into connected home technology.
