iphone maker Apple is gearing up for an extensive 2026 launch cycle with over 15 products planned across smartphones, wearables, tablets, Macs and smart home devices.
Apple is expected to roll out its 2026 products in phases rather than through one event, with a clear focus on upgraded chips, refined designs and tighter device integration to enhance its ecosystem and overall user experience.
According to multiple reports, the iPhone 18 Pro may arrive with an A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island and upgraded camera features including variable aperture, while the Pro Max version is expected to offer similar improvements with a slightly thicker design.
Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone with a 7.7-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen, along with multitasking features powered by iOS 27, signalling its entry into the foldable smartphone segment.
The Apple Watch Series 12 is also expected to come with a new chip, possible design changes and Touch ID support, while the Apple Watch Ultra 4 may also get a processor upgrade along with similar biometric enhancements.
The company is also expected to refresh its tablet lineup with the iPad 12 moving to an A18 or A19 chip with Apple Intelligence support, while the iPad mini could get a Pro-series chip, OLED display and water-resistant build.
Apple’s Mac range is expected to see major upgrades with the Mac Studio moving to M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, the Mac mini receiving M5 and M5 Pro processors, an iMac with M5 chip and new colours and a redesigned MacBook Pro.
The next MacBook Pro is expected to arrive with a full redesign, featuring an OLED display, touch support and next-generation M6-series chips, offering notable improvements in both hardware design and overall performance capabilities.
Additionally, Apple is expected to broaden its smart home offerings with a new Apple TV, refreshed HomePod mini and full-sized HomePod, plus a smart home hub with a display, Apple Intelligence features and FaceTime support, marking a stronger push into home technology.
