Apple may unveil eight more new devices by the end of 2026
Apple is likely preparing eight more new products following its September event. According to insiders and analysts, the company may hold an additional event in October to unveil some of the new devices.
The updates will affect virtually all product categories, including the tablet, Mac, smart home, and audio device lines. Thanks to the introduction of the latest chips and expanded support for artificial intelligence, the upcoming products promise to significantly raise the bar for performance and user-friendliness.
Fans of compact tablets are looking forward to the new iPad mini, which is expected to feature a super-powerful A19 Pro or A20 Pro chipset, an OLED display, an innovative audio system without the usual speaker grilles, and improved water resistance.
In the computer segment, an updated iMac all-in-one PC based on the latest M6 processor is in the works, available in new color options. The core lineup of laptops will be expanded with a 14-inch MacBook Pro featuring the M6 chip.
In addition, a major redesign of the series is expected in late 2026 or early 2027—a slim MacBook Pro/Ultra model with an OLED display, touch control support, a Dynamic Island feature, and chips from the M5 family.
A large number of new products will focus on devices for home comfort and automation:
Apple TV: The new set-top box will feature an A17 Pro chip (or newer), 8 GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence, Wi-Fi 7 support via the proprietary N1 chip, and an updated Siri Remote.
HomePod mini: This compact speaker will get a newer processor with support for Siri AI, improved sound quality, a second-generation UWB chip, and new color options.
Home Hub: an all-new smart display for the home with a 6- to 7-inch screen, an A18 chip, FaceTime support, and its own operating system for widgets and clocks. The device will be available in a desktop version with a speaker and a wall-mount version.
In the headphones category, Apple is preparing to release the Beats 360 model. These are new over-ear headphones with a design reminiscent of the AirPods Max.
They will feature interchangeable ear cushions and headbands, IPX4-rated water resistance, and an active noise-cancellation system that will be nearly twice as effective as that of the Beats Studio Pro. This audio device is expected to debut soon.
