Apple to Release 13 More New Products Later This Year

The same news always mentions HomePod mini, but not HomePod. If this is true that Apple won’t release an updated HomePod at the same time, why not? They had plenty of time to work on HomePod, with the excuse that Siri A.I. held back its release. It’s makes no sense that existing home products like  TV and HomePod mini would be released soon, but not the only other home product of theirs

I don't foresee buying any new Apple products anytime soon. My iPhone 13 mini will be sufficient for the next few years, bought a new Mac mini this past January, and I was recently lucky to pick up an older MacBook Air that was on clearance at a local retailer and was not affected by the recent Apple price hikes. At this point, I'm only going to buy if it's something I absolutely need and can afford, and that's not going to happen for a while.

The only money Apple will get from me for awhile is iCloud subscription, and that is not much.
My 13 mini got a new battery very recently, so it's good.

Otherwise, I'm happy with what I have of Apple-stuff for now - So Apple peace here.

I just want to see a spray bottle to go with the cleaning cloth

I didn’t think I would have let go of my 13 mini (battery replaced once) after 3.5 years, but I did for a deal on the base 17, and I am glad I did for day-to-day use and overall quality of the significant upgrade. Would I get another mini in the future, 100% yes. My 13 mini really was struggling to keep up.

Looking past the new Mac mini and Mac Studio models ('https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/25/everything-apple-announced-today/') unveiled today, Apple still has plenty of other new products on its roadmap for this year.



It is nearly September, and that means the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first-ever foldable iPhone are just around the corner. Other products expected later this year include the Apple Watch Series 12 with a ceramic case option, AirPods 5, an all-new Apple home hub, new Apple TV and HomePod mini models, and more.

Apple is expected to release at least 13 more products by the end of 2026, according to rumors. We have provided a summary below.
