Apple Expected to Unveil iPhone 18 Pro, Foldable iPhone and More in 2026
Apple is reportedly preparing a major product lineup for 2026, including the iPhone 18 Pro series, its first foldable iPhone and several new smart home devices.
Apple is expected to unveil one of its biggest hardware lineups in 2026, with several major products reportedly in development.
Although the company has not officially announced its launch schedule, reports suggest that Apple could change its traditional iPhone release strategy this year.
Among the most anticipated products are the iPhone 18 Pro models and Apple’s first foldable iPhone. The company is also reportedly working on updates to the Apple Watch, iPad mini, MacBook Pro and its smart home range.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are reportedly expected to be introduced in September. The standard iPhone 18 models, however, could follow a different schedule and may not arrive until early 2027.
The Pro models are expected to feature a smaller Dynamic Island and an improved OLED display. They could also be powered by Apple’s next generation A20 Pro chip, which is rumoured to use a more advanced 2 nanometer manufacturing process.
Another possible upgrade is a variable aperture main camera, a technology that could provide greater control over light and photography in a way similar to dedicated cameras.
A dark cherry colour is also reportedly being considered as a new finish for the lineup.
First foldable iPhone
Apple’s long anticipated entry into the foldable smartphone market could finally happen in 2026.
The device, which has been referred to as the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra in reports, is expected to feature a 5.3 inch outer display that opens into a larger 7.6 inch screen.
Reports suggest the phone could be around 4.5mm thick when unfolded. Apple is also said to be working on advanced display technology and a durable hinge designed to minimise the visible crease associated with many foldable phones.
Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4
The Apple Watch Series 12 is not expected to receive a major exterior redesign. However, a faster processor could improve performance, including features powered by Apple’s Siri artificial intelligence technology.
The Apple Watch Ultra could also receive an update, potentially becoming the Apple Watch Ultra 4. Rumours point to possible design changes and additional sensors, although details about their specific functions remain unclear.
iPad Mini 8
Apple is reportedly planning a significant display upgrade for the iPad Mini 8 by introducing OLED technology.
The new model could also receive improved water resistance and a redesigned speaker system that uses vibration based technology.
M6 MacBook Pro
New MacBook Pro models powered by Apple’s M6 chips are also reportedly in development.
The entry level 14 inch MacBook Pro could be among the first Apple computers to use the company’s next generation 2 nanometer chip technology, potentially bringing improvements in performance and power efficiency.
HomePod Mini 2
A second generation HomePod Mini is also reportedly ready for release. However, its launch could depend on Apple’s next version of Siri.
The updated smart speaker is expected to use a newer S series chip based on technology found in the Apple Watch Series 10.
New smart home products
Apple is reportedly expanding its smart home ambitions with a dedicated home hub.
The company is also expected to refresh products such as the HomePod and Apple TV. The new hub could become an important part of Apple’s growing smart home ecosystem.
Apple TV 4K
The Apple TV 4K could receive a new generation of connectivity hardware, including updated Wi Fi and Bluetooth technology.
A faster A17 Pro processor is also reportedly being considered for the next version.
Apple smart home camera
Apple is also rumoured to be developing its own indoor security camera.
The camera could work with HomeKit and connect to the company’s planned smart home hub, giving users another way to monitor and manage their homes through Apple’s ecosystem.
While these products are widely expected based on current reports and rumours, Apple has not officially confirmed most of the details or launch dates. The final specifications, names and release schedules could therefore change before the company makes any announcements.
