Apple Still Has 8 More Products to Announce Later This Year

Apple's annual iPhone event concluded recently, but the company has a slew of additional products lined up for the remainder of 2024, according to reports. Rumors suggest the firm will unveil eight new offerings this year, though the MacBook Pro with an OLED screen might not launch until early 2027. This abundance of future products could prompt Apple to host a product announcement event in October.

The iPad and iPad mini are set to feature the A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip, an OLED display, a redesigned speaker system lacking holes, and water resistance. The A20 Pro chip was introduced in the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo earlier this week.

The iMac line will receive an M6 chip and new color choices. Apple revealed the M6 chip just last month. Meanwhile, the upcoming 14-inch MacBook Pro will feature an M6 chip base model. There are also talks of a major redesign late in 2026 or early 2027, featuring an M5 Pro and M5 Max chip, an OLED display, a touchscreen, a Dynamic Island, and a slimmer design.

This MacBook Ultra might run macOS 27, which is expected to offer a user-friendly touch interface. It is rumored that the MacBook Ultra could be equipped with the M5 Ultra chip, which was unveiled last month.

Apple TV will introduce at least five new features, including an A17 Pro chip or newer, 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence, Siri AI integration, a Wi-Fi 7-enabled N1 chip, and an updated Siri Remote. The new Apple TV will reportedly maintain a similar look to the current model, so anticipate no significant design alterations.

The HomePod mini will be equipped with a newer chip featuring Siri AI support, enhanced sound quality, Wi-Fi 7-compliant N1 chip, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and possible new colors like red. The refreshed HomePod mini is expected to resemble the existing model, with no major design shifts anticipated.

A new smart home hub named Home Hub is on the horizon, featuring Siri AI, a 6- to 7-inch square display, an A18 chip or newer for Apple Intelligence, FaceTime, and additional functionalities. The device will come in both tabletop and wall-mounted versions. The Beats 360 headphones, an over-ear model with an AirPods Max-like design, will be available with interchangeable ear cushions and headbands, up to 1.75× more noise cancellation than Beats Studio Pro, IPX4-rated water resistance, and more. Apple is likely to announce the Beats 360 before the end of September.
