The upcoming product guide for 2026 offers a comprehensive look at all the new devices Apple is rumored to launch this year, based on the latest supply chain reports and insider leaks. While dates are subject to change, this guide is updated regularly to reflect the most accurate information. From the annual WWDC keynote in June to the fall iPhone lineup, here is what to expect from Apple in 2026.
WWDC - June 8
WWDC 2026 begins on Monday, June 8, with a keynote that is expected to introduce the next major versions of Apple's operating systems: iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27. The software updates will be previewed in June before a public release in September. The most anticipated feature is the overhaul of Siri, which will gain generative AI capabilities, allowing it to handle complex queries and tasks, similar to ChatGPT or Claude. Siri will also become a standalone app and will be integrated into the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones.
Beyond Siri, Apple Intelligence will introduce AI-powered features across several apps. The Photos app will get advanced editing tools, the Camera app will gain a Siri mode for visual intelligence, and users will be able to generate custom wallpapers. These features represent Apple's push into on-device AI and privacy-focused machine learning.
September 2026
- iPhone 18 Pro - The iPhone 18 Pro models, including the Pro and Pro Max, will feature a smaller Dynamic Island achieved through advanced under-display sensors. A major camera upgrade is a variable aperture main lens, providing depth-of-field control similar to DSLR cameras. The devices will be powered by the A20 Pro chip manufactured on a 2nm process, offering significant performance and efficiency gains. Apple's custom C2 modem will improve cellular connectivity. This year's special color is rumored to be a dark cherry shade.
- iPhone Fold - Apple's first foldable iPhone, expected in the fall of 2026, will have a book-style design with a 5.3-inch external display that unfolds to a 7.6-inch internal display, similar to the iPad mini when open. At just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, it uses advanced display techniques and a durable hinge to nearly eliminate the crease. It will be equipped with an A20 chip, dual rear cameras, and a Touch ID sensor in the power button, eschewing Face ID. The price could reach $2,500, positioning it as a premium device.
- Apple Watch Series 12 - The Apple Watch Series 12 is expected to be a minor update with a chip refresh, as no design changes or new health sensors have been rumored. It will likely continue with the same form factor and features as the Series 11.
- iPad mini 8 - The iPad mini 8 will receive its biggest upgrade yet: an OLED display that delivers deeper blacks and better contrast. It will also gain a more water-resistant design with a vibration-based speaker system that eliminates speaker holes, and use the same A20 chip as the iPhone 18 Pro.
- HomePod mini 2 - The second-generation HomePod mini is reportedly ready but its release depends on the new Siri experience. It will feature an updated S-series chip from the Apple Watch Series 10 and offer new color options. Leaked code suggests it won't use Apple's new networking chip.
- Home Hub - Apple is entering the smart home display market with the Home Hub, a device featuring a 7-inch iPad-like screen. It comes in two models: one for wall mounting and one with a speaker base resembling a HomePod mini. It will support smart home controls, music, video calls, weather, Siri, photos, notes, and calendar.
- Apple TV 4K - The next Apple TV 4K will get an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip along with a faster A17 Pro processor. This enables console-quality gaming and Apple Intelligence features, but the design remains unchanged.
Late 2026
- OLED MacBook Pro - Apple is developing a revamped MacBook Pro with a touchscreen OLED display, using next-generation 2-nanometer M6 chip technology. It could launch in late 2026 or early 2027. The display will have a hole-punch camera instead of a notch, maximizing screen real estate. A reinforced hinge will keep the display stable when touched, supporting touch-based gestures.
- Apple Smart Home Camera - Apple's own indoor security camera is expected to integrate with HomeKit and the Home Hub, possibly arriving in late 2026.
Products With Unknown Release Dates
- Mac Studio - The Mac Studio will receive M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, offering faster CPU and GPU performance, but timing is uncertain due to memory constraints.
- Mac mini - The Mac mini will get M5 and M5 Pro chips with no design changes, based on leaked codenames.
- iPad 12 - The low-cost iPad will be updated with the A19 chip from the iPhone 17, but no major design overhaul.
- AirPods 5 - AirPods 5 will feature an H3 chip for improved sound and lower latency, with ANC and non-ANC variants.
- AirPods Pro - The next AirPods Pro will include infrared cameras for in-air gestures and an H3 chip, possibly branded as AirPods Pro 3.
- Apple Watch Ultra 4 - In development with unknown features and release timeline.
- M5 Max iMac - Apple is testing an M5 Max iMac, possibly a revived iMac Pro with mini-LED display.
- AI Smart Glasses - AI-powered smart glasses with cameras, speakers, and sensors but no display, aiming to compete with Meta Ray-Ban, likely introduced in 2026 for a 2027 launch.
2027 Launches
- iPhone 18 - Apple will adopt a split launch strategy, with the more affordable iPhone 18 launching in spring 2027, alongside the iPhone 18e.
