Apple is rumored to launch five entirely new products this year, expanding beyond its typical iterative updates. The lineup reportedly includes a delayed smart home hub with a 7-inch display, a Face ID doorbell for secure entry, and a lower-cost MacBook powered by the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip. These products signal Apple's deeper push into smart home and more accessible computing.

This ambitious slate reflects Apple's strategy to enter new markets while leveraging its silicon. The foldable iPhone, expected in September, would finally bring a book-style design to compete with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series. Meanwhile, augmented reality glasses are in development, though a consumer launch may not arrive until 2027, positioning Apple against Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The A18 Pro MacBook could replace the aging M1 MacBook Air, potentially starting at $699 but with compromises like 8GB of RAM and no Thunderbolt. For the smart home, Apple's hub and doorbell would deepen its ecosystem, relying on a more personalized Siri. The foldable iPhone is expected to be Apple's most expensive handset ever, with a crease-free display from Samsung.
