Apple's 2026 Roadmap: 16 New Products Including Foldable iPhone and M5 Macs

Apple is finally clearing its hardware backlog after a two-year wait for a smarter Siri, which has now entered beta. According to MacRumors, up to 16 new products are slated for release by the end of 2026, spanning iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple Watches, and smart home devices. The most anticipated is the foldable iPhone Ultra, featuring a 7.7-inch folding inner display, a 5.3-inch outer screen, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and multitasking features in iOS 27. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will pack the A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, improved cameras, a C2 modem for satellite 5G, and a Dark Cherry color option. On the Mac side, the Studio, mini, and iMac will move to M5-series chips, while a new 14-inch MacBook Pro skips ahead to an M6 chip later this year. The entry-level iPad gains an A18 or A19 chip with Apple Intelligence support, and the iPad mini gets an OLED display, better speakers, and water resistance. The Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 add faster processors, possible Touch ID, and new health sensors. Smart home expansion includes a Home Hub with a 6-7-inch display and A18 chip, plus updated Apple TV and HomePods with Wi-Fi 7 and deeper Siri integration. Siri's AI overhaul is the common thread enabling these delayed launches to finally hit the market.
