2026 could be Apple’s biggest year yet: foldable iPhone, OLED MacBook, AI glasses and more

Apple had a hectic 2025. The Cupertino giant launched a host of products, be it the new MacBook Pro, the latest Apple Watch Ultra 3, and of course, the new iPhones. The iPhone 17 series came with major upgrades and some big design changes for the Pro models, with Apple also debuting the slimmest iPhone ever, the iPhone Air. However, if you thought that the tech giant was going to take things easy after such a busy year, you may be wrong.
As per reports, Apple may have an even busier 2026, with several upgrades planned across its product lineup. As always, India Today Tech will bring you all the updates as they happen. But for now, let’s take a look at what the Cupertino giant may have in store for this year.
1. iPhone fold
Let’s start with the elephant in the room. Apple is the only major phone maker left to enter the foldable smartphone market. And in 2026, the Cupertino giant is expected to finally join this race. As per reports, the first-ever foldable iPhone will make its debut in fall 2026, and may look like two iPhone Air devices stacked on one another.
The iPhone fold is expected to come in a book-like form factor, something we originally saw on the Pixel fold. The foldable iPhone is rumoured to come with a 5.25-inch cover screen, coupled with a 7.6-inch inner display. Both screens are said to be AMOLED panels. Apple is expected to ditch Face ID for the iPhone fold to keep the device thin, and use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor instead. The iPhone fold is tipped to be priced at $2,400 (roughly Rs 2,15,000) in the US
2. OLED MacBook
The MacBook Pro is one of the most powerful machines out there. But there was one aspect where Apple seemed to be falling behind – the display. The MacBook Pro still comes with an IPS LCD display, and Apple may finally change it this year. As per Bloomberg, the next-generation MacBook Pro devices could get OLED displays with touch support, just like the iPhones. However, it is believed that only the M6 Pro and M6 Max variants of the MacBook Pro will get a new OLED screen, while the base M6 MacBook may still use an IPS panel.
The OLED MacBook Pro models are expected to launch in late 2026.
3. AI glasses
AI glasses have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years, and now Apple may want a piece of this pie. The rumoured Apple AI glasses would likely compete with the Meta Ray-Bans. The headset is expected to come with built-in cameras, speakers with AI integration. You will likely be able to make phone calls, click pictures, and get answers via voice commands. Though you may not get a display.
Apple is expected to unveil the AI glasses by the end of this year. But a release may only happen by 2027.
4. iPhone 17e
Now, let’s look at the device Apple is likely to launch first this year, the iPhone 17e. The iPhone 17e would be the second device in the company’s e-series of iPhones. As per reports, the device will get the new A19 chipset from the iPhone 17 and slimmer bezels for the display. However, it is unclear if Apple will retain the notch from its predecessor.
Though the iPhone 17e is likely to come with MagSafe support, something the iPhone 16e lacked. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17e in February this year. The pricing of the iPhone 17e may remain unchanged from the iPhone 16e, which was launched in India for Rs 59,900.
5. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
The iPhone 17 Pro models came with big design changes and performance improvements. For the next Pro models, Apple is not expected to deliver the same magnitude of upgrades, but there is still plenty in store. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will likely come in new colours with a unified design, instead of the dual-tone look on their predecessors. Recent leaks also suggest that Apple may go for under-display scanners for Face ID and remove the Dynamic Island.
