Apple is set to unveil several new products starting as early as this month. Among the anticipated releases are updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, featuring the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which will enhance performance. In addition, a more affordable MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip is rumored for launch, marking the first use of an iPhone-class processor in a Mac. This model is expected to be priced at "well under $1,000" and will have a 12.9-inch display.
Throughout the first quarter, Apple may also announce the M5 MacBook Air, along with a new iPad Air and base model iPad, though these updates are likely to be revealed in March. Other devices in development include a new Mac mini and Mac Studio, slated for mid-2024, alongside the iPhone 17e, expected in February.
Software updates are also on the horizon, with iOS 26.3 entering beta testing last month and set for release in January. This update includes a new interoperability system for switching between iPhone and Android devices, as well as changes to support third-party accessories in accordance with EU regulations.
