Apple is expected to launch at least 15 new products in the second half of the year as WWDC 2026 wraps up and the company moves closer to its next wave of hardware releases. A major factor is the arrival of Apple’s more intelligent, personalized Siri in beta, which had been previewed at WWDC 2024 and appears to have cleared the way for several products that were previously delayed until the assistant was ready.
The biggest launches should come in September, when Apple typically updates its iPhone and Apple Watch lines. According to current rumors, the iPhone 18 Pro will feature the A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, a simplified Camera Control button, a Dark Cherry color option, variable aperture support for at least one rear camera, and Apple’s C2 modem with satellite-enabled 5G web browsing. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to share most of those upgrades, though it may be slightly thicker.
Apple is also widely expected to introduce a new foldable model, likely called the iPhone Ultra. Rumors suggest the device will include a 7.7-inch inner display, a 5.3-inch outer display, two rear cameras, a front camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID. iOS 27 is expected to be adapted for the foldable design, adding side-by-side app support and other multitasking features similar to the iPad.
Beyond iPhones, Apple is reportedly preparing new products for the home. A refreshed Apple TV is expected with an A17 Pro chip, support for the more personalized Siri, and Apple’s N1 chip with Wi‑Fi 7. A built-in FaceTime camera has been rumored for a future model, but it is unclear whether that feature will arrive this year. The HomePod mini is also expected to receive a major update with an S9 chip or newer, improved audio quality, the N1 chip, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and possibly new color options such as red. A new full-size HomePod is also rumored, with support for the revamped Siri.
The most notable home product may be Apple’s new smart home hub. The device is expected to feature a 6-inch to 7-inch square display, an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence, FaceTime support, and a design that can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall. It would serve as a central control point for the home and a showcase for Siri’s new capabilities.
Apple’s future roadmap may extend further, with a redesigned MacBook Ultra featuring an OLED display expected by early 2027. For now, the focus appears to be on a busy second half of 2026, with new iPhones, smart home devices, and updates across Apple’s ecosystem likely to arrive in the months ahead.
