Apple’s foldable iPhone still on track for September launch

Apple Plans 20 New Products Including First Foldable iPhone and Redesigned MacBook

Apple is preparing to release approximately 20 new products across the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who detailed the company’s expansive product pipeline in his Power On newsletter.macrumors

The lineup spans iPhones, iPads, Macs, home devices, and entirely new product categories — representing one of the most ambitious stretches of hardware releases in the company’s history.

Foldable iPhone Leads the Charge

The centerpiece of Apple’s near-term plans is its first foldable iPhone, which Gurman has informally referred to as the “iPhone Ultra.” The device, which Gurman previously called “the most significant overhaul in the iPhone’s history,” remains on track for a September debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Supply chain sources cited by China Securities Journal confirmed that component deliveries have recently begun in small batches.macrumors

The foldable is expected to feature a crease-free display, in-display sensors, and a price tag of at least $2,000. Apple’s iOS 27, unveiled at WWDC earlier this month, contains references to folding hardware and features designed for flexible displays.facebook

Macs, iPads, and Home Devices

Apple is also planning a redesigned MacBook — referred to in Gurman’s latest newsletter as the “MacBook Ultra” — featuring the company’s first-ever touchscreen, an OLED display, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, a Dynamic Island, and possible cellular connectivity. The device is expected in late 2026 or early 2027.appleworld

On the home front, a new Apple TV 4K is anticipated this fall with an A17 Pro chip, Apple Intelligence support via a more personalized Siri, and Apple’s N1 chip bringing Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. An updated HomePod mini and a new smart home hub with a 6- to 7-inch display are also in the pipeline.appleworld

Looking to 2027

The longer-term roadmap includes AI-powered AirPods equipped with cameras, smart glasses designed to rival Meta Platforms’ Ray-Ban collaboration, a second-generation foldable iPhone, and a 20th-anniversary iPhone featuring a nearly edge-to-edge curved display. Apple is additionally working on a tabletop robot, a doorbell, and a surveillance camera, though those devices may not arrive until late 2027 or early 2028.bloomberg
