iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS updates are also anticipated to bring enhanced multitasking capabilities and greater integration of Apple Intelligence, boosting productivity and customisation.
Apple WWDC 2026: Hardware Updates Expected
On the hardware front, several new products are rumoured. Apple could introduce its first security camera, incorporating Face ID for strong privacy-focused authentication. A hybrid HomePod Pad device, blending speaker and tablet functions, is rumoured.
A refreshed Apple TV powered by the A17 Pro chip may arrive with advanced Apple Intelligence features and lossless audio support. Updated HomePod and HomePod Mini models are expected to offer better Siri performance, superior sound, and broader smart home compatibility.
For Macs, the Mac Mini is likely to feature M5 and M5 Pro chips, though storage may start at 512GB due to supply constraints. The 24-inch iMac is expected to gain the M5 chip with possible new colour options, while a 30-inch iMac Pro with M5 Max could mark Apple's 50th anniversary. Finally, the Mac Studio may receive M5 Max and M5 Ultra processors for high-end professional workloads.
