Apple is preparing an ambitious product roadmap that stretches through the end of 2026, with at least 15 new devices expected across its entire ecosystem. Following the recent spring announcements, highlighted by the MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e, the Cupertino-based company is entering a new phase of innovation. Notably, Apple has quietly retired the high-end Mac Pro after two decades, making room for a fresh wave of products and services.
One of the biggest questions surrounding Apple’s upcoming fall event is how many iPhones will debut. Current expectations lean toward three main models: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple’s first foldable device, possibly called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. The Pro models are rumoured to feature a more compact Dynamic Island and a camera with variable aperture, while the foldable could include a 7.7-inch crease-free display and bring back Touch ID instead of Face ID. The standard iPhone 18 may arrive later, likely in spring alongside a more affordable iPhone 18e. September is also expected to introduce two new smartwatches: Apple Watch Series 12, featuring a new chip, thinner design, and possibly Touch ID, and the more rugged Apple Watch Ultra 4. During the same keynote, Apple may unveil a new Apple TV model with FaceTime support, expanding its role in home communication and entertainment. In October, Apple is likely to refresh its tablet line-up with the 12th-generation standard iPad and a new iPad Mini. Both devices are expected to support Apple Intelligence, with the standard model powered by the A19 chip and the Mini potentially featuring a Pro variant and even a waterproof design.
On the Mac side, several updates are anticipated: a new Mac Studio with up to an M5 Max chip, a more powerful Mac mini at a similar price point, updated colourful iMac models with M5 chips, a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen display. These releases come after the quiet discontinuation of the Mac Pro, signalling a shift in Apple’s desktop strategy. Apple is also making a strong push into smart home technology. Upcoming products may include: a redesigned HomePod with an upgraded Siri, a more affordable HomePod mini, a new “Home Hub” smart speaker, smart security cameras and doorbells equipped with Face ID This expansion suggests Apple is aiming to compete more aggressively in the home automation space. Beyond hardware, the company is preparing two new applications designed to strengthen its ecosystem. The first, called Business, is set to launch on April 14. It will serve as a unified platform for professionals, combining tools like Business Essentials, Manager, and Contacts into a single hub. The app will provide access to company directories, authorized software, and technical support. The second app remains partially under wraps but is expected to focus on Siri. It may introduce a more natural, multimodal interaction system, blending voice, text, and environmental awareness, similar to modern AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Its debut could coincide with the release of iOS 27.
