Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is preparing at least 15 launches across 2026 spanning iPhone, iPad, Mac, wearables, and smart‑home devices.
- The new Siri is targeted for March–April with an AI web search feature and a companion smart home display offered in speaker‑base and wall‑mount versions.
- Gurman says Siri will run on a Gemini‑based model behind the scenes via Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, preserving Apple’s interface and privacy framing.
- Apple retail stores are planning an overnight reset on November 11, which Gurman says could precede refreshed Apple TV and HomePod mini, though it may also be a seasonal display update; current inventory for those devices is reportedly tight.
- Hardware pacing described for 2026 includes early M5 Mac updates and new monitors, a potential late‑year M6 MacBook Pro redesign with OLED touchscreens, fall releases featuring iPhone 18 Pro and the first foldable iPhone, a shift to in‑house cellular modems with naming still in flux, and continued regulatory hurdles for Apple Intelligence in China.
