There has been a huge leak of Apple product data in recent days – seemingly as a result of internal Apple versions of software finding their way into the wild. Here we’ve gathered together a list of everything that’s rumored to be launching next year.
As you’ll see, this list starts with devices you’d definitely expect from Apple in 2026, but there are surprises further down and some of these products – especially things like ‘tabletop robot’ and ‘Vision Air’ are surely further out. I’ve heard that Vision Air is slated for 2027 or even 2028 for example.
I’d expect these devices to launch at four different times this year. This isn’t exactly groundbreaking; it matches Apple’s standard launch dates. Firstly, a spring launch – usually via a series of press releases – in early March. Secondly, at Apple’s developer conference (WWDC26) in early June, for high-end Macs and possibly Apple Vision devices. Then there will be the main iPhone launch at the beginning of September 2026 as per usual and finally, a Mac release in October/November.
MacRumors, Macworld and The Information have has done a sterling job of matching up products to prototype model numbers and I’m bringing you a list of the devices below that Apple is developing. I’ve heard that a few of the models listed have been delayed or even dumped and I’ve noted that alongside the products.
There are also a couple of oddities about the list – there’s no mention of the iMac for example. And no mention of any AirPods either. It’s possible we might not get any AirPods products in 2026 I guess…
- I’d buy the cheaper 2026 MacBook, but I’d prefer an iPhone I could use as a laptop
iPhone
- iPhone 17e – V159 – this lower-end iPhone – hopefully with wireless charging this time – should be in the early Spring.
- iPhone Air 2 – V62 – Although I’m still expecting the second iPhone Air to launch in 2026, this article in The Information suggests that Apple has decided to delay this launch because of weak sales for the brilliant but flawed iPhone Air.
- iPhone 18 Pro – V63 and iPhone 18 Pro Max – V64 – this will follow the standard launch pattern and appear in September. Note that there’s no mention of a standard iPhone 18 model here, but one will surely exist.
- iPhone Fold – V68 – yes, the foldable iPhone finally appears to be coming in 2026.
iPad
- iPad 12 – J581 and J582 – Wi-Fi and Cellular versions. The iPad is set to the get the A19 chip from the iPhone 17 series.
- M4 iPad Air – J707, J708, J737, J738. These represent four variants – 11 and 13in as well as Wi-Fi and Cellular versions
Mac
- Cheaper MacBook with A18 Pro – J700 – yes, it’s happening as per our rumors article.
- MacBook Pro – J714c, J714s, J716c, J716s. Following up the M5 version from October with new versions in the standard 14 and 16in sizes with different M5 Pro and M5 Max chip versions.
- M5 MacBook Air M5– J813 and J815 – 13 and 15in sizes as before. As with those previous Macs, we’d expect this in the spring.
- Mac Studio M5 – J775c and J775d – these would most likely be M5 Max and M5 Ultra versions. This may arrive in Spring, it could be at WWDC26 in June.
- Mac mini M5 – J873g and J873s – as with the M4 version, there will be M5 and M5 Pro versions.
- MacBook Pro M6 – J804 – this is the 14in version only, the same as we’ve just seen updated with the M5. Expect this in October.
- MacBook Pro M6 Pro/Max – K114c, K114s, K116c, K116s – standard 14 and 16in sizes with different M6 Pro and M6 Max chip versions. This could be in early 2027.
NB there’s no sign in this list of the newly-rumored iMac Pro upgrade. Or even an iMac upgrade to M5…
Apple Watch
Apple Watch Series 12 – N237 and N238 – nailed on, in Wi-Fi and Cellular versions
Apple Watch Ultra 4 – N240
Other devices
- AirTag 2 – B589 – it’s unclear when this would appear, but it could be in the spring.
- Apple Studio Display 2 – J427 and J527 – maybe these are different sizes? Could we get a super-sized version?
- Apple TV – J355 – I’m definitely expecting this and it could be known as Apple TV Pro
- HomePod mini 2 – B525
- Home hub variant 1 with base – J490 and Home hub variant 2 with mount – J491 – these next devices are a bit of a leap into the unknown. Personally, I’m really not sure they will launch but rumors seem to persist about them basically being HomePods with a screen.
- Unknown home accessory – J229 – presumably a camera or stand for the previous devices,
- ‘Tabletop robot‘ – J595 – this seems quite far out there. Could it be mis-named?
Apple Vision
- Vision Air headset – N100 – could there be a lighter and more accessible version of the Vision Pro. Apple is rumored to have even stopped work on this in favour of AR glasses.
- AR glasses prototype – N421 and Mac-connected AR glasses – N107 – the rumors are that Apple has abandoned work on these products.
- Cheaper Vision Pro – N109 – this may have already appeared in the guise of Apple Vision Pro with M5.
- AI smart glasses – N50/N401 – essentially – I’m expecting this, but not in 2026 – there are a lot of rumors about it being slated for 2027.
