◆1: Foldable iPhone



Rumors have long circulated that Apple is developing a foldable iPhone, and it even

filed a patent for a foldable smartphone back in 2017.

This foldable iPhone is expected to be released in the fall of 2026, and it is rumored that the product name will be 'iPhone Fold,' but 9to5Mac pointed out that 'personally, I think it will be called 'iPhone Ultra'.'

The foldable iPhone is rumored to combine the experiences of both an iPhone and an iPad, and when unfolded, it will look like two iPhone Airs side by side, and will also be thinner than the iPhone Air.

◆2: HomePod touch/HomePad



According to a Bloomberg report , Apple had planned to release a HomePod with a screen in March 2025, but delays in the development of Siri's AI features have led to the release being postponed until early 2026. This HomePod with a screen is called the 'HomePod touch' or 'HomePad.'

9to5Mac wrote that the HomePod touch/HomePad will be 'exactly the kind of home device I've been looking for from Apple,' as it can display data like photos and weather information on the screen, which the existing HomePod can't. 9to5Mac also expressed hope for Apple's release of an ad-free HomePod touch, stating that 'competitive products like Amazon's screen-equipped smart speaker, the Echo Show, degrade the user experience with ads.'

There are also rumors that the HomePod touch/HomePad will have a design similar to the iMac G4.

◆3: Apple Glasses



Apple Glasses, which is rumored to be Apple's next flagship wearable product, will work in conjunction with the iPhone in the same way as the Apple Watch, and will not only be able to take photos and videos with the built-in camera, but will also be a device that runs Apple Intelligence. Furthermore, once the Siri upgrade is complete, it will be possible to operate the device primarily by voice.

It has also been reported that Apple is prioritizing the development of new smart glasses over the lightweight Apple Vision Pro.

Similar to the Apple Watch, Apple is expected to offer Apple Glasses in a wide range of fashionable styles for users.

9to5Mac wrote, 'I was initially a bit skeptical of this product category, but with the rise of AI, I'm now excited to see how Apple approaches smart glasses.'

◆4: M6 MacBook Pro



The M6-powered MacBook Pro will include several major upgrades, including:

- New thinner and lighter design
- Notch-less organic EL display (OLED)
- Uses a touch screen
- Equipped with 2nm process M6 chip
- Possibility of installing a C2 cellular modem

Typically, new Macs come with one or two of these upgrades each year, but these five changes all at once could make this one of the most compelling new models in recent memory.

The MacBook Pro with M5 was just released in October 2025.

◆5: Apple Home Security Camera



Since the introduction of HomeKit, Apple has relied on third-party products for all of its smart home accessories. The problem is that there is a big difference in quality and reliability between Apple products and third-party products.

9to5Mac wrote, 'I've long hoped that Apple would get more serious about smart home products. Rumor has it that this will finally happen in 2026.'

The security camera being developed by Apple is reportedly equipped with AI and designed to seamlessly integrate with other Apple products via wireless connectivity.

Apple is rumored to be developing its own security camera and a smart doorbell with Face ID. The Apple security camera is equipped with facial recognition and an infrared sensor, and is expected to be able to detect who is in a room, turn off the lights when someone leaves, or automatically play music that specific person likes.

If Apple were to enter the manufacturing and sales of smart home products in earnest, various devices other than security cameras could appear, which is why we are looking forward to the appearance of an Apple security camera, 9to5Mac writes.
