Apple is set to start 2026 with a bang and multiple exciting products are being lined up for the market.
Apple is set to kick off its big 2026 launch plans with not one or two but around four new products expected to be announced over the course of next few weeks. The company is set for another busy year, with its first foldable iPhone, the AI version of Siri and other ecosystem hardware products slated to be announced over the next 10 months in the market.
Apple will be launching the iPhone 17e model first and we could see it powered by the A19 chipset this year and available without any hike in its price. Apple launched the iPhone 16e in February last year and history could repeat again with the iPhone 17e also tipped to be announced sometime this month in the market. You are unlikely to get premium features like ProMotion 120Hz display on the 17e, as it will continue to support the standard 60Hz refresh rate on the regular 6.1-inch OLED panel and carry a single rear camera.
The M5 family will be getting the Pro and Max version chips, which will be powering more MacBook Pro variants. Once again, the design changes are not expected and it will mostly cater to the hardware push to make AI more reliable.
The next-gen iPad variant, Apple’s most affordable in the market, is likely to get a hardware upgrade with A18 chip to bring Apple Intelligence support to more users and a new price segment. The features are still limited but making them available on the regular iPad will definitely appeal to many.
Like the regular iPad model, the Air version will be bumped up to M4 chip without making any alterations to the design of the device or even improving its display specs. Just your regular incremental upgrade, one that can easily give the most premium Android tablets a run for their money.
Technically, this is not a device, but the most significant news from the company could be about the AI-powered Siri that is said to be rolling out with the iOS 26.4 beta version later this month before its much anticipated release in March or early April.
