📰 Apple Prepares for Its Biggest Year Yet: 15+ Major Products Set for 2026
London, 4 November 2025
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple [AAPL −0.38%] is gearing up for what he calls “the company’s most pivotal year in recent memory”, as it faces regulatory headwinds and looming tariff risks. The tech giant reportedly plans to launch over 15 new products in 2026, marking one of the largest product refreshes in Apple’s history. 
🧩 Major Hardware Refresh Early 2026
The first quarter of 2026 will bring sweeping updates across Apple’s lineup:
iPhone 17e,
12th-gen iPad powered by the A18 chip,
iPad Air (M4),
MacBook Air (M5),
MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max,
plus a new external display aimed at creative professionals. 
🗣️ Siri’s AI Reboot & Smart Home Expansion
Between March and April, Apple plans to unveil a revamped Siri built on next-generation AI models, alongside a new smart-home display with a speaker base and wall-mount option.
This move signals Apple’s deeper push into the AI-integrated smart-home ecosystem, a direct answer to Google’s and Amazon’s dominance in this space. 
🍂 Autumn 2026: Foldable iPhone and Apple C1 Chip
Apple’s autumn lineup will feature the iPhone 18 Pro, which will shift from Qualcomm [QCOM +2.05%] modems to Apple’s in-house C1 chip, symbolising another milestone in supply-chain independence.
The long-rumoured foldable iPhone is also expected to debut potentially Apple’s boldest product design shift since the iPhone X.🧠 Beyond Phones: The AI-Driven Ecosystem
Other 2026 products reportedly include:
a smart home security camera,
updated Mac mini and Mac Studio (M5 chip),
an iPad mini with OLED display,
and, by year-end, a redesigned MacBook Pro (M6) with touchscreen + OLED technology.
Analysts believe these moves reflect Apple’s strategy to position itself as an AI-first hardware company, tightly integrating machine learning into everyday devices.
