What Do You Want to See From Apple in 2026?

As we shared in our annual What to Expect Guide yesterday, 2026 is going to be a busy year for Apple. There are a lot of firsts in development, including the first foldable iPhone and the first OLED MacBook, plus an all new home hub device that will kick off Apple's major expansion into smart home devices and robotics.

Apple 26 Feature
We'll get new M5 Macs and new iPads early in the year, along with an updated iPhone 17e. In the spring, we're expecting iOS 26.4 with the revamped version of Siri, and the home hub, a new Apple TV, and a new HomePod mini could launch in that same timeframe.

We're aware of what's likely to launch based on rumors and past release information, but we'd love to hear from the MacRumors community. What do you want to see Apple release this year?

Are you excited for the new version of ‌Siri‌? Planning to get an iPhone Fold? What do you want to see from iOS 27 and macOS 27?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and take a look at our What to Expect guide for an overview of the current rumors. We'll be hearing a lot more about Apple's 2026 plans in the coming months, and you can count on us to have in-depth coverage of every rumor that surfaces.

If you want to discuss Apple's 2026 products, our MacRumors forums are an excellent resource, plus they're a great place to get help on current Apple products and software, or to find like-minded folks in the Apple community.

Our readers and our forum members continue to make MacRumors the number one source for Apple news, rumors, and advice, so thank you for being here! MacRumors celebrated its 25th birthday this year, thanks to the MacRumors community. We're looking forward to another year of rumors and product launches in 2026, and we hope you are too. Happy New Year!

Apple Executive Comments on New iPad Mini Lacking 120Hz Display

Thursday October 29, 2026 1:47 pm PDT by
While the new iPad mini has an OLED display, the device does not support ProMotion, meaning the display's refresh rate is limited to 60Hz instead of 120Hz. ProMotion support would have allowed for the iPad mini's refresh rate to automatically adjust from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed, but evidently Apple has kept the feature exclusive to the iPad Pro among iPad...

Leadership that understands what makes products great and then brings in the money. Not stifling and staggering advancement, lessening customer experience for margins. Above all, people in charge of software that understand what made the synergy between great hardware and software seamless in the  of old, and can actually execute on that.

In short, a company that gives us what we never knew we needed regularly, and one that takes pride in every single product it ships with its name on it. An  that would be ashamed to sell us single Nand chip Macs, only new colours and a USB port for AirPods Max at the same price, with 5 year old tech, soft aluminum Pro iPhone frames, and the bug ridden festival that is recent software, and in many cases visually abhorrent. To name a few.

An option to disable the Liquid Glass effect, restoring a similar look to previous iOS versions. It doesn’t have to be the default, but at least have the option.
