Early 2026

  • HomePod mini - The HomePod mini 2 is reportedly ready to go, so it could come early in 2026. It will feature an updated S-series chip based on the Apple Watch Series 10, and we're expecting new color options to be available. Some rumors suggest that it will use Apple's N1 networking chip, but leaked code indicates that it will not use Apple's new chip technology.
  • iOS 26.4 - iOS 26.4 is a major iOS update that is expected to introduce the smarter, more capable version of Siri. Apple will rely on Google Gemini to power some Siri features, so the scope of what Siri is capable of is set to change drastically.
  • Home Hub - Apple is planning to launch a home hub that will support smart home products, listening to music, making video calls, getting the weather, looking things up with ‌Siri‌, displaying photos, making notes, viewing calendar events, and more. The home hub has an all-display design with an iPad-like 7-inch display. There are two models, one that's designed to be mounted to the wall and one that's got an included speaker base that looks like a HomePod mini.
  • iPad 12 - Apple is working on an updated version of the low-cost iPad, and rumors suggest it will have the newest A19 chip that was first used in the iPhone 17. No other features are known at this time, but major design changes are not expected.
  • iPad Air - Apple plans to update the iPad Air with the M4 chip in early 2026. No design changes are rumored, so expect the same 11-inch and 13-inch size options. The iPad Air is also likely to get Apple's N1 networking chip.
  • iPhone 17e - Expected in early 2026, the iPhone 17e could have slimmed down bezels, and there's a possibility it will feature a Dynamic Island instead of a notch. It is expected to include MagSafe support, and the same A19 chip that Apple used in the iPhone 17.
  • Mac mini - Apple is working on a Mac mini, and new models with codenames J873g and J873s were spotted in leaked Apple software. The codenames correspond to M5 and M5 Pro chips, but refresh timing is unclear. Given that it uses chips coming to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, it could come early in the year alongside those devices. We're not expecting any design changes to the Mac mini, with the update focusing on internal improvements.
  • MacBook Air - Apple is working on an updated MacBook Air, and rumors suggest that it will come out in the first few months of 2026. It's going to get the M5 chip, but no other new features are rumored. The design will remain the same, and we'll get the same 13-inch and 15-inch size options.
  • MacBook Pro - Apple is planning to refresh the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips early in the year. No major changes are expected aside from the new chips.
  • Low-Cost MacBook - Apple is working on a low-cost MacBook that will be cheaper than the MacBook Air. It's expected to be around 13 inches in size, and it will use the A18 Pro chip.
  • AirTag 2 - The AirTag 2 is expected to include a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for improved range, allowing the AirTag to be located from further away. Apple may also make the speaker harder to remove so it can't be used to secretly track people.
  • Apple TV 4K - The Apple TV will get a new Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, along with a faster A17 Pro processor that will add support for console-quality games and Apple Intelligence. No design changes are expected.

Mid-2026

  • iOS 27, macOS 27 and more - New versions of iOS, macOS, and Apple's other software platforms will be previewed in June at WWDC before launching in September. New Apple Intelligence features are expected thanks to the improved Siri that Apple will be rolling out in the months ahead of WWDC.
  • Mac Studio - Sometime around the middle of 2026, the Mac Studio will get M5 Max and M5 Ultra chip technology. The M5 Max will offer much faster CPU and GPU performance than the M5, and the M5 Ultra will double the M5 Max.
  • New Mac Displays - Apple is reportedly developing two new display models that could launch in 2026. The next-generation version of the Studio Display could feature the same 27-inch screen size, but with mini-LED technology instead of LCD. mini-LED means better HDR, brightness, contrast, and colors. The current Studio Display has an A-series chip inside, and the next-generation version could get the A19 Pro that Apple used in the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌.

September 2026

  • iPhone 18 Pro - The iPhone 18 Pro could get under-screen Face ID, which would allow Apple to remove the Dynamic Island, but some rumors claim there will be a hole-punch camera cutout in the top left corner of the display. The iPhone 18 Pro will use an A20 Pro chip built on Apple's 2nm process, and it could have a variable aperture Main lens.
  • iPhone Fold - Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected in fall 2026. It's rumored to have a 5.3-inch external display that unfolds into a 7.6-inch internal display, with a book-style design that resembles an iPad mini when it's open. The "iPhone Fold" could be super thin at 4.5mm when open, and Apple is said to have used advanced display techniques and a highly durable hinge to nearly eliminate the device's crease. It will be equipped with an A20 chip, dual rear cameras, and a Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the power button in the frame rather than Face ID. It could cost as much as $2,500.
  • Apple Watch Series 12 - The Apple Watch Series 12 isn't expected to feature any major design changes, and we haven't heard any rumors about new capabilities that might be added. It could just get a chip refresh.
  • iPad mini 8 - The next-generation version of the iPad mini is rumored to feature a major technology upgrade, with Apple set to adopt an OLED display. The iPad mini 8 could have a more water resistant design with a vibration-based speaker system that allows Apple to eliminate the device's speaker holes, plus it could use the same A20 chip that Apple plans to use in the iPhone 18 Pro.

Late 2026

  • OLED MacBook Pro - Apple is developing a revamped touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro that uses next-generation 2-nanometer M6 chip technology, and it could come in either late 2026 or early 2027. Rumors suggest that the OLED MacBook Pro will feature a hole-punch camera without a notch, maximizing the available display area. Apple plans to adopt a reinforced hinge that stays stationary when the display is touched, and cuts down on any vibration associated with touch-based gestures.
  • Apple Security Camera - Rumors suggest that Apple is designing its own indoor security cameras that will connect to ‌HomeKit‌ and interface with the planned home hub. It could come as soon as late 2026.

Products With Unknown Release Dates

  • AirPods 5 - Apple is developing the AirPods 5, but release timing is unknown. The AirPods 5 could get an updated H3 chip with improved sound quality and lower latency. There are two models in the works, with Apple likely continuing to offer ANC and non-ANC versions.
  • AirPods Pro - Apple is working on another version of the AirPods Pro that could have at least one tiny infrared camera and a next-generation H3 chip with improved sound quality and lower latency. The camera would perhaps add support for in-air gestures, improving functionality with the Vision Pro. The next AirPods Pro could still be branded AirPods Pro 3 rather than AirPods Pro 4.
  • Apple Watch Ultra 4 - There is an Apple Watch Ultra 4 in development, but we don't know what features might be added, nor is it clear when it might launch. Apple so far hasn't necessarily refreshed the Apple Watch Ultra on an annual basis.
  • M5 Max iMac - Apple is testing an M5 Max iMac, based on leaked internal software. Nothing is known about the machine except for the chip inside, but if it's a product slated for release, it could feature mini-LED display technology like the rumored Studio Display 2. Max chips are typically in "Pro" machines, so Apple could be planning to revive the iMac Pro. There may also be an M5 chip refresh for the 24-inch iMac.
  • Mac Pro - Apple has deprioritized the Mac Pro, so it's not clear if there's going to be an update. If there is, the Mac Pro will get an M5 Ultra chip, Thunderbolt 5, and upgrades like 512GB RAM maximum and 16TB storage space.
  • AI Smart Glasses - Apple is working on smart glasses that will rival Meta's AI Ray-Bans, and Apple might introduce them in 2026 before a 2027 launch. The smart glasses will include cameras, speakers, sensors, and AI, but no displays. The glasses will support taking photos, listening to music, making phone calls, and interacting with AI.

2027 Launches

  • iPhone 18 - Apple isn't going to release an iPhone 18 in September 2026, and will hold it until spring 2027. Apple is pursuing a split launch strategy, with more expensive iPhones launching in the fall and more affordable models coming the following spring. September 2026 will see the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple's first foldable iPhone.
  • AirPods Max - Apple could refresh the AirPods Max in 2027, cutting down on weight. The headphones could get Apple's H2 chip or newer, adding features that include improved sound quality, better Active Noise Cancellation, longer battery life, Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, Conversation Awareness, and support for "Siri" instead of "Hey Siri."
  • iPad Pro - There is no new iPad Pro expected in 2026, but in 2027, it's expected to get a faster M6 chip and vapor chamber cooling to maximize performance.
  • OLED iMac - Apple is working on a 24-inch iMac with an OLED display, and rumors suggest that it could come out as early as 2027.
  • iPhone 18e - Also slated for spring 2027, the iPhone 18e could launch alongside the iPhone 18. It is expected to feature few changes.
  • iPhone Air 2 - There is no second-generation iPhone Air planned for fall 2026 because Apple has delayed it. It could instead come in spring 2027. Apple is reportedly looking at adding a second camera to make the device more appealing to consumers. The next iPhone Air might also be more affordable.
  • 20th Anniversary iPhone - The 2027 iPhone will have an "enclosure on the front and back that curves around the device edges," which allows for a bigger screen with no bezels. The Information says that it is not sure if the display itself will curve around the edges, but instead of a full metal frame, it has a "narrow metal band running around the midpoint of the device's edge. The selfie camera will move under the display, and it will be the first iPhone with no display cutouts at all. The 20th anniversary iPhone will launch in September 2027.
  • Tabletop robot (J595) - Apple's tabletop robot with a thin robotic arm and swivel base is expected to be a more powerful version of the home hub. It's rumored to be launching sometime in 2027.
