Rumours on what Apple has in store for us this 2026 have been making their rounds, and though it's usually mum before dropping something big, the Cupertino-based tech giant has also been known to indulge its fans every once in a while.

This year, analysts are expecting Apple Inc. to drop a massive roster of new items early on. From the new iPhone 17e and the much anticipated iPhone Fold to a lower-priced MacBook, Apple Inc. is rumoured to have a loaded 2026 ahead – and it's just getting started.

Fall Releases

In September, Apple Inc. is expected to launch an array of new Apple products, where the new iPhone 18 family will take centre stage. The iPhone 18 Pro will have the A20 Pro chip, the talked-about shrunken Dynamic Island, and the under-display Face ID to accommodate this. Joining the iPhone 18 Pro is its bigger version, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, which has a bigger battery pack and better camera than the iPhone 18 Pro per usual.

The iPhone Fold is expected this fall as well, and it's rumoured to have more than the wide design and wide display sans the crease, but also a titanium finish. There are also rumours of it coming as the iPhone 18 Ultra. A successor to the popular iPhone Air is also likely coming- the iPhone Air 2. It will potentially come with a second rear camera, and is rumoured to also use the A20 chip.

Other notable potential releases for Fall of 2026 are the AirPods Pro 3 which might come with built-in cameras to support Visual Intelligence and other AI features, The Apple Watch Series 12 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4 that both use the new S-Class chip and feature a touch ID, the new iPad mini that uses OLED for its display and the new A20 Pro chip in the back end, and the new MacBook Pro M6 which is expected to get an all-new look and an OLED touch display.
