Apple Isn't Done With 2026: Here's What's Still Coming

Apple's busiest season isn't over yet. Far from it. With hardware launch dates still to come in November, plus software updates, streaming events, and new smart home accessories running into December, there's more on the way from Apple before the end of 2026, so be sure to stick around.

Below, we've rounded up what's still coming, along with one date in particular that's worth watching if you're a holiday shopper.

• Five new products – November 6: Apple is launching five products today: the OLED iPad mini with A20 Pro (from $699), the M6 iMac (from $1,499), the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 (from $1,999), and all-new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens (from $2,899 and $3,399). The latter two are Apple's first touchscreen Macs. Individual delivery dates vary based on region and configuration.
• Apple Creator Studio updates – rolling out November: Apple began rolling out the Creator Studio updates today, starting with Logic Pro, with more apps in the suite to follow throughout November. The updates bring built-in MotionVFX content to Final Cut Pro, Generate Fill to Pixelmator Pro, and new AI assistants in beta to Logic Pro, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. They are free for existing subscribers.
• Apple HomeView – November 13: Apple's new smart home display arrives on Friday, November 13, priced at $299. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted versions, the hub can be used to answer questions with Siri AI, display pictures, make FaceTime calls, play music, show recipes, offer up calendar events, and more. Pre-orders are already open in launch markets, but HomeView will not initially be sold in the European Union.
• Apple TV 4K – November 13: The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K launches alongside HomeView, and is also priced at $299. Unlike previous generations, there's just the one model with 128GB storage, and it adds Siri AI and supports four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2 or second-generation HomePod speakers. Pre-orders are already open.
• Black Friday – November 27: It's not a product launch, but a date likely worth marking. Apple has held a four-day shopping event over the Black Friday weekend in recent years, when it has typically offered gift cards with eligible purchases. Our Black Friday roundup will be tracking the deals.
• App Store Awards – expected November and December: Dates for this year's awards are expected to follow last year's pattern, when Apple named its finalists on November 19 and announced the winners on December 4. The same schedule would put the 2026 finalists in late November and the winners in early December.
• Apple Music Replay – expected December: The full 2026 Replay recap is expected around the same time as last year's, when the full version became available on December 2, with your top songs, artists, and listening stats for the year.
• iOS 27.3 – December: Apple says iOS 27.3 will be released to the public in December, though it hasn't given a date. The first iOS 27.3 beta arrived on Tuesday, November 3. Beta features can change before release, but so far it includes new Siri AI actions across apps, vertical Tabs and an Adaptive Dark Mode in Safari, the redesigned Health app, a new Apple Fitness+ Gym Strength workout that builds a four-week plan, and more. Our iOS 27.3 beta guide has the full list.
• Apple Intelligence in China – December: The first Apple Intelligence features for users in China are already in testing in the iOS 27.3 beta, and Apple has confirmed the public rollout for December alongside the update. Apple has partnered with Alibaba to add Qwen support to Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence. The initial release is for supported iPhones, with other platforms to follow after the required regulatory approvals, and it does not include Siri AI.
• Apple Home Collection – from December: The new Apple-backed, third-party lineup includes smart home cameras, thermostats, and a lock designed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Apple says that availability begins in December, although select accessories will not arrive until early 2027.
