Apple’s next year is shaping up to be one of its most ambitious ever. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is preparing to launch at least 15 new products in 2026 – and some of them mark big firsts for the tech giant. Gurman described 2026 as “one of its most pivotal years in recent memory,” with major hardware refreshes, bold new designs, and the long-awaited rollout of Apple Intelligence features.
The year will reportedly kick off with a flood of updates across Apple’s main lineup. Early 2026 should see the arrival of the iPhone 17e, a new 12th-generation iPad running on the A18 chip, an M4-powered iPad Air, and updated MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models featuring M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips. Apple is also said to be preparing new external displays to pair with its Macs, alongside a redesigned Siri powered by on-device generative AI.
Perhaps the most interesting spring surprise could be a new smart home display. The device, which combines a screen with a built-in speaker base and optional wall mount, appears to be Apple’s answer to the Google Nest Hub and Amazon Echo Show. It would give Siri a more permanent place in the home – and potentially serve as a control center for Apple’s expanding HomeKit ecosystem.
Come fall, Apple will return to familiar territory with new iPhones and Apple Watches. The iPhone 18 Pro lineup is expected to ditch Qualcomm’s modems entirely in favor of Apple’s first in-house 5G modem chip, reportedly called the C1. But the real headline is the rumored debut of Apple’s first foldable iPhone. If true, it would mark a major shift in the company’s smartphone design philosophy – and a direct challenge to Samsung’s dominance in foldable devices.
On the Mac side, Apple isn’t slowing down. A new Mac mini and Mac Studio are reportedly planned for 2026, both running M5 chips, while redesigned MacBook Pros with M6 Pro and M6 Max chips could land by year’s end. These models are expected to introduce thinner bodies, OLED displays, and even touchscreens – a long-requested feature Apple has famously resisted for years.
Other smaller updates include a new iPad mini with an OLED screen and Apple’s first smart home security camera. But perhaps the most futuristic item on the list is something Apple hasn’t officially announced: its long-rumored smart glasses. Gurman says suppliers have already begun producing early quantities, hinting that Apple may preview the device before the end of 2026.
If even half of this roadmap materializes, next year could be the busiest – and most unpredictable – Apple cycle in over a decade.
