Apple will launch these 15 new products later this year

Apple’s annual WWDC developer conference is coming to a close, but there’s still a lot to look forward to in the second half of the year.

Apple is expected to launch at least 15 additional products later this year. Now that the most intelligent and personal version of Siri has finally arrived in beta, two years after Apple first showed it off at WWDC 2024, we should start seeing new devices that were reportedly delayed until the new Siri is ready.

Beyond the usual annual September updates to iPhones and Apple Watches, Apple’s all-new smart home hub is expected to debut later this year. We’re also expecting a foldable iPhone Ultra and long-awaited updates to Apple TV, HomePod, and HomePod mini. And a redesigned MacBook Ultra with an OLED display is expected by early 2027.

Here’s what to expect from Apple later this year, according to rumors.

iPhone

• iPhone 18 Pro: A20 Pro chip, a smaller Dynamic Island, a simplified camera control button, a Dark Cherry color option, variable aperture for at least one rear camera, Apple’s C2 modem with support for 5G web browsing via satellite, and more.
• iPhone 18 ProMax: The same specs are rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro, but the Pro Max model may or may not be slightly thicker.
• iPhone Ultra: A foldable iPhone Ultra with a 7.7-inch inner screen and a 5.3-inch outer screen, dual rear cameras, a front camera, a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID, and more. iOS 27 is expected to be tailored to the foldable iPhone, allowing side-by-side apps and other iPad-like multitasking features.
