Apple's busiest season isn't over yet. Far from it. With two hardware launch dates still to come in November, plus software updates and new smart home accessories running into December, there's more on the way from Apple before the end of 2026, so be sure to stick around.
Below, we've rounded up what's still coming, along with one date in particular that's worth watching if you're a holiday shopper.
- Apple Intelligence testing in China – November 4: The first Apple Intelligence features for users in China enter testing in the latest iOS developer beta from Wednesday, November 4. Apple has partnered with Alibaba to add Qwen support to Siri, Writing Tools, and Visual Intelligence.
- Five new products – November 6: Apple is launching five products this Friday: the OLED iPad mini with A20 Pro (from $699), the M6 iMac (from $1,499), the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 (from $1,999), and all-new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens (from $2,899 and $3,399). The latter two are Apple's first touchscreen Macs. Pre-orders are already open, but individual delivery dates vary based on region and configuration.
- Apple HomeView – November 13: Apple's new smart home display arrives on Friday, November 13, priced at $299. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted versions, the hub can be used to answer questions with Siri AI, display pictures, make FaceTime calls, play music, show recipes, offer up calendar events, and more. Pre-orders are already open in launch markets, but HomeView will not initially be sold in the European Union.
- Apple TV 4K – November 13: The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K launches alongside HomeView, and is also priced at $299. Unlike previous generations, there's just the one model with 128GB storage, and it adds Siri AI and supports four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2 or second-generation HomePod speakers. Pre-orders are already open.
- Apple Creator Studio updates – November: Updates coming this month bring built-in MotionVFX content to Final Cut Pro, Generate Fill to Pixelmator Pro, and new AI assistants in beta to Logic Pro, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. The updates are free for existing subscribers.
- Black Friday – November 27: It's not a product launch, but a date likely worth marking. Apple has held a four-day shopping event over the Black Friday weekend in recent years, when it has typically offered gift cards with eligible purchases. Our Black Friday roundup will be tracking the deals.
- iOS 27.3 and Apple Intelligence in China – December: Apple has confirmed the public rollout of its first Apple Intelligence features in China for December, alongside iOS 27.3. The initial release is for supported iPhones, with other platforms to follow after the required regulatory approvals.
- Apple Home Collection – from December: The new Apple-backed, third-party lineup includes smart home cameras, thermostats, and a lock designed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Apple says that availability begins in December, although select accessories will not arrive until early 2027.
