Apple to Release 13 More New Products Later This Year

Looking past the new Mac mini and Mac Studio models unveiled today, Apple still has plenty of other new products on its roadmap for this year.

It is nearly September, and that means the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first-ever foldable iPhone are just around the corner. Other products expected later this year include the Apple Watch Series 12 with a ceramic case option, AirPods 5, an all-new Apple home hub, new Apple TV and HomePod mini models, and more.

Apple is expected to release at least 13 more products by the end of 2026, according to rumors. We have provided a summary below.

iPhones

• iPhone 18 Pro: A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, a simplified Camera Control button, a Dark Cherry color option, and more.
• iPhone 18 Pro Max: The same features rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro, but the Pro Max model may be slightly thicker due to a larger battery and a variable aperture camera, which might be exclusive to the Pro Max model this year.
• iPhone Ultra: A foldable iPhone Ultra with a 7.7-inch inner display and 5.3-inch outer display, two rear cameras, one front camera, a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID, and more. iOS 27 is expected to be tailored for the foldable iPhone, allowing for side-by-side apps and other iPad-like multitasking functionality.
