New Delhi: Apple is expected to introduce several of its latest products in the coming weeks. Apple has recently announced its latest event on March 4, and it is likely to unveil its latest products daily in the lead-up to that event. Apple will be hosting events at several locations during this period, including New York, London, and Shanghai.

Latest products will be debuting during this period through invite-only events and through online accounts. There is no official confirmation on what devices Apple could introduce; several products, such as the iPhone 17e, higher-end MacBook Pro models, and the M5-powered MacBook Air, have been reported to debut.

Along with this, it is expected that Apple could debut with its brand’s latest devices, such as a low-cost MacBook with an iPhone-class chip. Apple’s strategy of offering its affordable models with current-generation hardware is likely to feature the latest A19 chip for improved performance and neural processing.

It might get Apple’s upgraded C1X modem and in-house N1 networking chip, while retaining its familiar design with notch and a single rear camera setup. iPhone 17e could provide slimmer bezels around the same 6.1-inch 60Hz display, add an 18MP Centre Stage front camera, keep the 48MP rear camera sensor, and it might also unveil MagSafe support.

Apple is expected to debut the 11th-generation entry-level iPad soon. While the design might remain heavily unchanged, the latest model could see a major performance boost with the A18 chip, which allows the Apple Intelligence features. It might also debut Apple’s in-house modem for Wi-Fi and 5G.

The most-awaited low-cost MacBook features an iPhone-grade A-series chip rather than an M-series chip. This entry-level model could be powered by the A18 Pro chip, with the performance stated to be approaching M1 chip-powered MacBooks in certain tasks. It might be going to feature a smaller 12.9-inch display and an aluminium chassis. Apple is also expected to offer this in a wider range of colour options.

Apple is also expected to unveil the latest MacBook Air powered by the standard M5 chip. There will be major design changes are unlikely in line with recent refresh cycles. The 2026 MacBook Air is been expected to incorporate Apple’s in-house N1 networking chip, by potentially enhancing wireless speeds and overall connectivity.

Apple is also expected to launch higher-end MacBook Pro models powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, completing the series after the earlier launch of the base M5 14-inch version. The latest upgrade is been likely to include both the 16-inch model and higher spec 14-inch variants by focusing primarily on performance gains from the latest processor, with no significant design or feature changes anticipated.

Mac Studio in the first half of 2026, the current model runs on M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips, and the next iteration is expected to move to M5 Max and M5 Ultra variants by delivering notable performance gains aimed at professional workloads. Apple is expected to unveil the latest two Studio Display models with mini-LED panels measuring 27 inches and 32 inches. Larger models also feature an upgraded 6K resolution screen; they might run on the A19 Pro rather than the existing A13 Bionic chip.

Upgraded Apple TV 4K soon, the device might run on either the A18 or A17 Pro chip, which could enable support for Apple Intelligence features. It is also rumoured to include an integrated camera for FaceTime. The streamer could adapt Apple’s in-house N1 networking chip by allowing Wi-Fi 7 support and enhanced wireless connectivity.

HomePod Mini is also stated to be in the works; the second-generation model could feature a newer S-series processor, such as the S9 or S10, potentially by improving performance and allowing select Apple Intelligence functions alongside a more advanced Siri experience. The upcoming Apple TV 4K might incorporate the N1 networking chip for improved stability and faster Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
