Apple is launching a wave of new hardware this week, with the iPhone 17e leading the charge. The $599 device replaces the iPhone 16e and upgrades to the A19 chip, Center Stage front camera, and MagSafe support. Rumors suggest it may also ditch the notch for a Dynamic Island display.

Two new iPads are expected: an A18 base model unlocking Apple Intelligence features and an M4-powered iPad Air. The base iPad's A18 chip will enable Siri enhancements and AI capabilities later this year. Meanwhile, Apple revives its discontinued MacBook with a 12.9-inch display, A18 Pro chip, 8GB RAM, and fun color options at roughly $699 price point.

The M5 MacBook Pro lineup expands beyond the October launch, with 14-inch and 16-inch models featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. No design changes are coming, but these machines will be pitched as top performers for AI workloads. Additional possibilities include M5 MacBook Air, new Studio Display with 120Hz ProMotion and A19 chip, and Mac Studio variants with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips.
