Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported that Apple may introduce at least ten new products by mid-2026, following the recent iPhone 17 launch event. In his “Power On” newsletter, Gurman outlines some anticipated releases, many of which have been the subject of speculation for some time.
Notably, the M5 iPad Pro is expected to launch soon, potentially this October. Alongside this release, upgraded MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs are projected for early 2026. Rumors suggest that the iPad Pro may feature a second front-facing camera optimized for portrait use.
Additionally, a budget-friendly iPhone 17e is reportedly in development, likely arriving early next year. This model is expected to feature only minor upgrades over its predecessor, the 16e, primarily incorporating the new A19 chip. Updates to the Apple TV and HomePod mini are also anticipated next year, including processor improvements and support for a new version of Siri. Similarly, the Vision Pro is expected to see an upgrade with the M4 processor while maintaining its current design until a more significant update is planned for 2027.
Among the highlighted upcoming products is a smart home hub, code-named J490, which was initially expected to launch earlier this year. Gurman now indicates a spring release, marking a potential new product category for Apple as it builds upon its existing HomePod and iPad offerings.
Other products mentioned include the updated AirTag 2, which is anticipated to feature enhanced range thanks to a new wireless chip. Additionally, two new monitors, potentially 27-inch displays, are reportedly in the works, as current models, the Pro Display XDR and Studio Display, are becoming dated.
