Apple prepares to unveil iOS 27 and new Siri at WWDC, though the event is expected to focus on software. However, five hardware products could potentially surprise attendees. Industry watchers note current supply constraints make hardware launches less likely, but Apple has a history of unexpected announcements.

The potential hardware lineup includes M5 Mac Studio and Mac mini, which face supply issues but would appeal to developers. Home products like a new Apple TV 4K, HomePod 3, and HomePod mini 2 are also candidates. The HomePod Touch/HomePad might wait until fall when new Siri features are ready.

Apple could announce these products with the pitch that they'll gain new capabilities this fall when Siri's features ship. This approach would showcase tvOS 27 features powered by Apple Intelligence. Regardless of hardware announcements, WWDC will demonstrate how Apple's software updates enhance its ecosystem.
