As the year draws to a close, Apple still plans to release software, but no new hardware is expected until 2026. However, these four new goods are expected to launch early in 2026—possibly as early as January. M5 Pro and Max MacBook Pro 14- and 16-inch models Apple introduced its new M5 chip in the fall in the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro. However, only the 14-inch MacBook Pro was equipped with the new CPU, and neither Pro nor Max models were currently available. Early in 2026, Apple is expected to release 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M5 Pro and M5 Max. Apple introduced the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro models back in January 2023. The timing of the M5 launches may be comparable. A brand-new 12.9-inch MacBook Analysts have been urging Apple to launch a low-cost MacBook for years in order to better compete with Chromebooks and less expensive PCs. It appears that might eventually occur in early 2026. According to reports, Apple is developing a 12.9-inch MacBook with an iPhone-class A18 Pro processor that will be available in a range of vibrant colors. The speculated pricing of $599 or $699 might be the best feature. The MacBook is anticipated to ship in "mid-Q1 2026," according to analyst Jeff Pu, which makes a late January unveiling quite likely. iPad with A18 chip An A16 Bionic chip was added to Apple's base model iPad earlier this year. However, it is anticipated that the next iPad will be released in early 2026 with an A18 chip that will feature Apple Intelligence. Regarding the new iPad, not much is known. However, it is usually expected that the design will remain same, with the majority of updates being internal. The iPhone 17e Another iPhone 17 model is being developed by Apple and is anticipated to be released extremely early in 2026. Apple introduced a new iPhone model in February of this year. The iPhone 16e was the true name of the anticipated iPhone SE update. Later, there were rumors that Apple planned to refresh the "e" model every year. The iPhone 17e will have the new Center Stage front camera in addition to the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17. Additionally, it is said to contain two design modifications: slimmer bezels and the Dynamic Island in place of a notch. Similar to the iPhone 16e, Apple's new low-cost model will probably cost $599 and have a single rear camera. Wildcards: new Mac displays, M4 iPad Air, and M5 MacBook Air There have been rumors that all four of the aforementioned products will launch extremely early in 2026. However, a number of others might make their debut at or close to the same time. Other new products include: M5 MacBook Air M4 iPad Air New Mac displays All of them will be needed at some point over the winter-spring season, and they would work very well with the aforementioned products. For example, earlier this year, the standard iPad and iPad Air were released simultaneously. Additionally, the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models may come with updated Mac displays.
