Apples 2026 Roadmap Hints at Launch of iPhone 17e and Foldable iPhone

Apple's new product launches next year may include the most affordable iPhone model, the iPhone 17e, as well as a new flagship foldable iPhone.

The latest report in Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter from Bloomberg reveals that Apple is planning a major product rollout next year to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.

In the first quarter of 2026, Apple is expected to update its iPhone 17e budget model, alongside the entry-level iPad with an Apple A18 chip and the iPad Air with an M4 chip, as well as refresh its Mac computer lineup.Mac 

Additionally, between March and April 2026, Apple may release a new Siri version featuring full AI capabilities customized from Google's Gemini, along with smart home products like speakers with displays or wall-mounted smart displays to advance a new smart home system.

September 2026 is the timeline for launching the iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, and new Apple Watch models.

Meanwhile, the foldable iPhone is expected to debut around the same time, if plans proceed as scheduled, and there is speculation about a product spun off from Apple Vision Pro, such as Apple Glasses.

Regarding iPads, besides the entry-level and iPad Air models early in the year, plans include a new iPad mini expected to switch to an OLED display in 2026. The next major iPad Pro update might not arrive until 2027.

In summary, Apple's 2026 roadmap shows a full lineup refresh across product lines, though plans remain subject to change.
