Apple Event 2026: Five Brand-New Apple Products Coming This Year

Apple is doing something it almost never does. This year, we’re getting five all-new, never-before-seen Apple products, and that alone makes 2026 feel special. Especially when you look back at recent years—last year gave us just the iPhone Air, and the year before that was basically the Vision Pro show.

This time? Apple is going all out.

So let’s jump straight in and break down all five of these upcoming products, starting with the one that might be the most shocking of them all.

1. A Completely New MacBook Powered by an iPhone Chip

Yes, you read that right. Apple is reportedly working on a brand-new MacBook that ditches the M-series chips entirely and instead runs on the A18 Pro, the same chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro.

On paper, that sounds insane. There’s a reason no other company has really tried this—it sounds like a recipe for awful performance. But Apple might be the one company that can actually pull it off.

The A18 Pro is reportedly more powerful than the original M1 in multi-core performance, and its single-core speed is even better. And honestly, single-core performance is what really matters for everyday tasks, app responsiveness, and that “snappy” feel people care about.

Design, Display, and Battery Life

This MacBook is expected to be smaller than the MacBook Air, with a display somewhere between 12.9 inches and 13.6 inches. It’ll also be thinner, lighter, and ultra-portable.

Thanks to the efficiency of the A-series chip, this could end up having the best battery life of any laptop ever, which is a bold claim—but not an impossible one for Apple.

Price and Release Window

Here’s the wild part: this would be the first MacBook ever priced under $800. Some leaks even suggest a $600 starting price, which would put it directly against Windows laptops and high-end Chromebooks.

As for timing, this MacBook could show up as soon as Apple’s January event, possibly alongside new MacBook Pros—assuming Apple doesn’t see it as internal competition. Otherwise, it may be held back until June, potentially launching alongside a new Mac mini.

2. Apple HomePad: Apple’s Smart Home Hub Finally Arrives

Next up is another all-new product: the Apple HomePad, also rumored as a Smart Home Hub.

This device is expected to debut at Apple’s spring event, likely in April, lining up perfectly with the release of the upgraded, more personalized Siri in iOS 26.4.

A Brand-New Operating System: HomeOS

One of the most exciting parts? Apple is reportedly introducing an entirely new operating system called HomeOS.

Think of it as a mix between iPadOS and tvOS. The HomePad is expected to feature a 7-inch high-quality display, good speakers (possibly HomePod-level bass), microphones, and a camera with FaceTime and Center Stage support.

You’ll be able to watch Apple TV+, Netflix, YouTube, and more, while also managing smart home accessories, automations, and security cameras—all through Siri.

Siri Is the Star of the Show

At launch, the HomePad will use the upgraded Siri coming this spring. Then later in the fall, it’s expected to receive Apple’s full Siri chatbot upgrade, which Apple reportedly sees as the primary way users will interact with this device long-term.

3. iPhone Ultra: Apple’s First Foldable iPhone

Yes, it’s finally happening. Apple’s iPhone Ultra, their first foldable phone, is expected to launch at the September event alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.

And Apple is doing this very differently from competitors like Samsung.

Crease-Free Display and Unique Design

Leaks suggest Apple’s first foldable will feature a fully crease-free display, which is something no other company has truly nailed yet. The aspect ratio looks unusual—very wide, based on current renders—but that may be intentional.

The outer display is reportedly 5.3 inches, smaller than even the iPhone mini’s 5.4-inch screen. But once unfolded, it expands to a 7.7-inch display, all while remaining incredibly thin—possibly as thin as 4.5mm, according to Ming-Chi Kuo.

Battery and Price

Despite its thinness, battery life should be excellent thanks to a silicon-carbon battery, potentially offering 5,000mAh or more.

The downside? Price. Expect this to land around $2,000, putting it firmly in ultra-premium territory.

4. Apple’s First-Ever Smart Video Doorbell

This one came out of nowhere. Apple is reportedly developing its first smart video doorbell, discovered in internal code under the name J229.

Face ID at Your Front Door

The doorbell is expected to include multiple sensors, alarm sound detection, image capture, and yes—a built-in camera. But the real headline feature is Face ID.

Imagine walking up to your front door and having Face ID instantly recognize you, unlock your smart lock, and sync seamlessly with the rest of your Apple ecosystem. Or instantly seeing who’s at your door on your HomePad display.

With tight HomeKit integration, this could become one of the most compelling smart home accessories Apple has ever released.

5. Apple Smart Glasses: A Whole New Wearable Category

Finally, we have what might be the most exciting product of them all: Apple’s first smart glasses.

These won’t have a built-in display—those are coming later—but they’ll still pack a ton of functionality.

Cameras, Spatial Audio, and AI

The glasses are expected to feature built-in speakers with spatial audio, cameras for photos and video, and full Siri integration. Think Meta Ray-Ban glasses, but with Apple’s ecosystem and (hopefully) a much sleeker design.

Apple is reportedly aiming for something that looks like normal glasses, not bulky or obviously “smart.” And with the Siri chatbot built in, these glasses could become a powerful AI companion—capable of understanding what you’re seeing and remembering past conversations.

Price and Release Timing

Pricing is expected to be higher than Meta’s Ray-Bans, likely around $500. Apple is rumored to unveil them later in the year, possibly October or November.

Final Thoughts: A Huge Year for Apple

And there you have it—five brand-new, never-before-seen Apple products all launching in a single year. That alone makes 2026 one of the most exciting years for Apple in a long time.
