This is what a job vacancy offered by the company suggests, in which the description calls for a developer to “work on iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and homeOS.” The latter doesn’t exist yet, and could be the name of the HomePod firmware with a screen.

The product should also combine media consumption, approaching the experience of Apple TV. Since audioOS is the interface-free experience of the company's previous sound devices, it might be time to rename it now that the company is set to launch a smart display.
