April and May were relatively slow months for Apple this year, but we have a lot to look forward to at WWDC 2026 and beyond.

Apple is expected to release at least 15 more products later this year, with some pending a more personalized version of Siri.
In addition to the usual annual iPhone and Apple Watch updates in September, Apple’s all-new smart home hub is expected to finally be unveiled later this year. We’re also expecting a foldable iPhone Ultra, a redesigned MacBook Ultra with an OLED display, and long-awaited updates to the Apple TV, HomePod, and HomePod mini. More more.
Here’s what to expect from Apple later this year, according to rumors.
