Apple is poised to release quite a few new products in early 2026, and in this video I break down the leaks that actually matter if you’re trying to plan your next upgrade. I start with the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, which are expected to keep the same general design language we’ve had for the recent M‑series Pros. The bigger design refresh sounds more like an M6 Pro/Max story, potentially even changing that notch situation, but we’ll see. I also talk about the M5 MacBook Air, which should be a solid, straightforward performance bump if Apple doesn’t mess it up with a price hike—because the Air is already one of the best bargains for students and workers. Then there’s the rumored iPhone 17e: a budget iPhone that could finally feel modern with Dynamic Island, thin bezels, and an A19 chip, while still landing around $599 (with the expected compromises, like a single rear camera). I round it out with AirTag 2 quality-of-life upgrades, iPad updates (A19 in the starter iPad, M4 in iPad Air), a water-resistant iPad mini rumor, Apple TV/HomePod mini 2, a new Home Hub, and my favorite bit of news: Apple reportedly working with Google Gemini to finally give Siri the upgrade she desperately needs.
