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.

The same news always mentions HomePod mini, but not HomePod. If this is true that Apple won’t release an updated HomePod at the same time, why not? They had plenty of time to work on HomePod, with the excuse that Siri A.I. held back its release. It’s makes no sense that existing home products like  TV and HomePod mini would be released soon, but not the only other home product of theirs
 
Waiting to see the redesigned MacBook, iMac and the home hub. Think the iMac will be having M6 chip since it has been launched today. Hopefully the colors will continue to be bright.
 
The ifold should be the most interesting. I'm hoping the iPad mini is at least compelling. My futile wish is for the iPad mini to have a built in phone line.... Ya never know. Dreams may come true

lol Apple TV. yeah, right.
 
The home hub screen keeps getting smaller eww.

I was in for a bunch but of things including home pods but all I want now is an Apple TV.
 
I don't foresee buying any new Apple products anytime soon. My iPhone 13 mini will be sufficient for the next few years, bought a new Mac mini this past January, and I was recently lucky to pick up an older MacBook Air that was on clearance at a local retailer and was not affected by the recent Apple price hikes. At this point, I'm only going to buy if it's something I absolutely need and can afford, and that's not going to happen for a while.

I didn’t think I would have let go of my 13 mini (battery replaced once) after 3.5 years, but I did for a deal on the base 17, and I am glad I did for day-to-day use and overall quality of the significant upgrade. Would I get another mini in the future, 100% yes. My 13 mini really was struggling to keep up.

I never look at any of these as "New" they're just updates to current product products. Other than the Apple Vision Pro, they really haven't created anything new for quite a while.
 
The only money Apple will get from me for awhile is iCloud subscription, and that is not much.
My 13 mini got a new battery very recently, so it's good.

Otherwise, I'm happy with what I have of Apple-stuff for now - So Apple peace here.
Same. I will happily die with my M1 Max Studio, iPhone 15 and M4 iPad Pro (kinda feel lucky I snuck in with that one before this madness). Computers in general are having far limited appeal than they used to with the dead internet and app subscriptions and AI slop being forced down our throats. I will likely never leave Sequoia behind, there is just no need to sacrifice half my storage for some LLM. Hard pass on that future.

Time to get started on that Emu farm!
