Apple Inc. plans to launch a new lineup of products in the first half of 2026, including a new low-cost iPhone, multiple updated iPads, and enhanced Mac devices.
Key Highlights:
-
Affordable iPhone: Apple is expected to release the iPhone 17e, a budget-friendly model similar in design to the iPhone 16e released in 2025. This new model will feature the A19 chip to align with the iPhone 17 series and also include the A18 chip. The launch is anticipated early in 2026.
-
New iPads: The lineup will include updated versions of the low-cost iPad and the iPad Air, targeting beginner users.
-
Mac Devices: Apple plans to introduce a new external Mac display, its first since the Studio Display in 2022. However, the release of the highly anticipated MacBook Pros with the M5 chip (14-inch and 16-inch models) appears delayed until early 2026. Meanwhile, refreshed MacBook Air laptops are expected in spring 2026.
-
Other Products: Fall 2025 will see the launch of the iPhone 17 series, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, updated Apple Watches, new iPad Pro models, and possibly an updated Vision Pro headset and a MacBook with the A18 Pro chip.
-
Smart Home Device: Apple’s smart home product, initially planned for spring 2025, has been delayed due to Siri feature updates and is now expected to launch in early 2026 under the name HomePod.
Notes:
-
The budget iPhone 17e will be updated annually, differing from previous budget models (like iPhone SE), which were only refreshed twice since 2016.
