Apple plans for the first half of 2026 include the launch of M5-powered 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, an iPhone 17e with an A19 chip, a new entry-level iPad, updated 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models with M4 processors, and a new Mac external monitor.
The releases for the first half of 2026 focus on incremental improvements rather than groundbreaking redesigns, similar to the busy first half of 2025.
The product updates include chip upgrades and spec bumps, indicating a continuation of modest iterations on existing products for Apple.
While Apple is also working on a smart home display, the launch has been delayed, potentially trailing behind similar products from competitors.
