Upcoming Apple Products

According to reports, at least 15 new products are expected before the end of 2026.

The arrival of a more intelligent and personal version of Siri in beta is expected to clear the way for several devices that were reportedly held back until the upgraded assistant was ready.

Beyond the usual September iPhone and Apple Watch refreshes, a brand new smart home hub, a foldable iPhone Ultra, and long overdue updates to the HomePod lineup are all said to be in the pipeline.

Here is everything rumored from Apple for the remainder of 2026.

iPhones

  • iPhone 18 Pro: Reportedly arriving with an A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, a simplified capacitive Camera Control button, a new Dark Cherry color option, variable aperture for at least one rear camera, and Apple's C2 modem with support for 5G browsing via satellite.
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max: Expected to share all the same features as the iPhone 18 Pro, though reports are conflicted over whether the Pro Max will be slightly thicker than its predecessor.
  • iPhone Ultra: Apple's first foldable iPhone is reportedly named the iPhone Ultra and features a 7.7-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer display, two rear cameras, one front camera, and a Touch ID power button in place of Face ID. iOS 27 is expected to include iPad-style multitasking features specifically tailored for the foldable form factor.

Apple Watches

  • Apple Watch Series 12: Rumored to include a faster S11 chip or newer, along with possible design changes such as Touch ID and additional health sensors, though those specific details remain disputed.
  • Apple Watch Ultra 4: Expected to receive a faster chip alongside the same disputed design changes rumored for the Series 12. Reports also suggest future Apple Watch Ultra models could gain satellite features including Apple Maps via satellite and the ability to send and receive photos through Messages via satellite.

iPads

  • iPad 12: Currently powered by the A16 chip, the next iPad is expected to move to either an A18 or A19 chip, bringing Apple Intelligence support to the base model lineup.
  • iPad mini: Reportedly in line for a significant upgrade, including an A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip, an OLED display, a vibration-based speaker system, and a water-resistant design.

Macs

  • Mac Studio: Expected to move from M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips to M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, though availability could slip to 2027 due to a reported RAM chip shortage.
  • Mac mini: Reportedly moving from M4 and M4 Pro chips to M5 and M5 Pro chips. The next Mac mini update is similarly at risk of being pushed to 2027 if the chip supply situation does not improve.
  • iMac: Expected to receive an M5 chip upgrade alongside new color options.
  • MacBook Ultra: A heavily redesigned MacBook Pro is reportedly planned for late 2026 or early 2027 under the new name MacBook Ultra. Rumored features include M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, an OLED touchscreen display, a Dynamic Island, and a thinner chassis. macOS 27 is said to offer a touch-friendly interface specifically designed for the machine.

Home

  • Apple TV: The next Apple TV is reportedly equipped with an A17 Pro chip and Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, enabling compatibility with the revamped Siri. A built-in FaceTime camera has been rumored, though it is unclear whether that feature will make it into the upcoming model.
  • HomePod mini: Expected to arrive with an S9 chip or newer, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, improved sound quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and potentially new color options including red.
  • HomePod: A new full-sized HomePod is reportedly in development with support for the more personalized version of Siri.
  • Home Hub: An all-new smart home device said to feature a 6-inch to 7-inch square display, an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence, FaceTime support, and the revamped Siri. The hub is reportedly designed to sit on a table or mount on a wall. It may launch alongside accessories including a security camera and a Face ID doorbell.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • AirPods Ultra with cameras for Visual Intelligence are also rumored, but it is not yet clear whether they are arriving this year or further out.
  • The Mac Studio, Mac mini, and MacBook Ultra are all at risk of delays into 2027 due to the reported shortage of RAM chips.
