If you thought March was packed with over 10 new Apple product launches, hold on tight; the company still has a whole host of tech surprises in store that will make our wallets ache. While we recently said goodbye to the Mac Pro, the rest of the year holds a real revolution we've been waiting for, from Apple's entry into the foldable screen market to its redefinition of the smart home.
The iPhone 18 family and the “foldable” surprise
The wait won't be long for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which are expected to be powered by the powerful A20 Pro processor. Leaks suggest design improvements including a smaller "interactive island" and a simpler, more practical camera control button. Most importantly, we may finally see a variable aperture lens for the rear camera and full satellite internet browsing support thanks to Apple's in-house developed C2 modem.
But the real star that will undoubtedly steal the show is the foldable iPhone. According to leaks, the device will feature a massive 7.7-inch internal screen, essentially a mini iPad in your pocket, along with a 5.3-inch external screen for quick tasks. iOS 27 is expected to include iPad-inspired multitasking features to cleverly utilize this expansive screen space.
A leap in the performance of iPads, Macs, and OLED screens
The tablet sector hasn't been forgotten either, with iPad Mini fans eagerly awaiting a major upgrade that includes a long-awaited OLED display, an A19 Pro or possibly A20 Pro processor, a new water-resistant design, and a revolutionary haptic audio system. The iPad 12, meanwhile, will receive A18 or A19 processors to seamlessly run Apple's advanced smart features.
For Macs, the transition to M5 processors is imminent for the Mac Studio, Mac Mini, and iMac. But the real game-changer for laptops is the upcoming MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen. This device, possibly called the MacBook Ultra, will break with tradition, offering a thinner design with an interactive island and macOS 27 with an enhanced touch interface.
The smart home revolution and the upcoming Apple Watches
Apple plans to dominate your home with a brand-new "smart home hub" featuring a 6- to 7-inch screen and powered by a more intelligent and personalized version of Siri, enhanced by the A18 chip. This hub will be the heart of your home, allowing you to control devices and easily make FaceTime calls. To complete the system, there are also rumors of Apple-designed security cameras and a doorbell with Face ID support.
As for your wrist, the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 will come with new processors for improved efficiency, with leaks suggesting the possibility of integrating the Touch ID sensor into the power button. And let's not forget the updates to Apple TV and the HomePod mini, which will receive newer processors and support for Wi-Fi 7 technology to ensure ultra-fast connectivity and faster response times for the new Siri commands.
