Here are the five new Apple products I\u2019m the most excited about.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone Ultra<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787595609_22_iphone-fold-mockup-purple.jpg\" alt=\"Suppliers expect iPhone Ultra to launch in September, despite reported delays | iPhone Ultra render shown\" class=\"wp-image-1043724\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first foldable iPhone is almost here, and I\u2019m thrilled to get what\u2019s essentially an iPhone and iPad mini in the same device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though we\u2019ve gotten <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/07\/24\/iphone-ultra-is-coming-six-new-features-in-apples-top-tier-model\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1048163\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">plenty of leaks<\/a> about hardware, iPhone Ultra\u2019s software is what will ultimately be a huge contributor to the overall experience. So I\u2019m fascinated to see how Apple adapts iOS 27 to feel native and more capable on a foldable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I haven\u2019t tried a foldable smartphone before, but everything I\u2019ve read makes the form factor seem like the future. Apple has clearly taken its time before entering the foldable market, and my expectations are high that it will be worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>HomePad<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/homepad-homepod-touch-ios-26.jpg\" alt=\"Why the HomePod Touch (render shown) could succeed where the original speaker failed\" class=\"wp-image-1011078\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been wanting Apple to take the smart home seriously for many years. And when Mark Gurman <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/11\/13\/apples-new-homepad-is-exactly-what-i-want-in-a-home-device\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first broke a detailed report<\/a> on the forthcoming \u2018HomePad\u2019 in late 2024, it signaled that such a shift was coming. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything about the HomePad sounds very appealing to me. I\u2019m excited for Apple Photos slideshows, security camera functionality, Siri AI, playing Apple Music with lyrics onscreen, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siri AI delays led to a much longer wait for HomePad than expected. But all signs point to an imminent launch, and I\u2019m ready to see how Apple casts vision for a new smart home era via the HomePad and other new Home products.<\/p>\n<p>New Apple TV 4K<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/apple-tv-4k-tvos-26-lg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1033861\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been four years since the current Apple TV 4K launched. The product doesn\u2019t need annual updates, but AI\u2019s emergence has created a lot of potential for an overhauled experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m ready to see how Siri AI, a more powerful chip, and other hardware and software upgrades can combine to make for a worthwhile Apple TV upgrade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new Apple TV 4K launching around the same time as the camera-equipped HomePad, I\u2019m also curious to see if old rumors of a <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/04\/08\/apple-tv-camera-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">camera-equipped model<\/a> might come true. FaceTime on the big screen without needing to use my iPhone would be really great.<\/p>\n<p>MacBook Ultra<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/macbook-ultra-pro-mockup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062989\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve used an iPad Pro as my main computer for over a decade. And a big reason I made that switch in 2015 was that the Mac always lagged behind the iPad in getting innovative hardware and software features.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple silicon coming to the Mac has solved some of those problems. And macOS has increasingly been updated in-step with iOS and iPadOS too. But there are still several ways the Mac feels tied to the past rather than the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/08\/20\/macbook-ultra-is-coming-six-new-features-launching-this-fall\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1043371\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MacBook Ultra<\/a>, I suspect, will change that. Bringing touch support to the Mac, plus OLED, a Dynamic Island, a new design, and possibly even a cellular option all sound very compelling. It\u2019s the kind of Mac update I\u2019ve been waiting for, so I can\u2019t wait to see what Apple unveils.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787595612_653_apple-watch-series-11-us.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1058993\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m undecided whether I\u2019m going to choose Series 12 or Ultra 4 for my new Apple Watch this year. Either way though, I\u2019m eager to see the new models because of <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/08\/21\/apple-watch-series-12-and-ultra-4-to-get-one-big-upgrade-at-perfect-time\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one key rumored upgrade<\/a>: a new S-class chip built for the AI era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple Watch chips don\u2019t change very often. Even though the company does make minor updates to its S-class chips most years, CPU performance only improves about every three years. As a result, the S9 in 2023 was the last time a new Watch chip meaningfully improved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But rumors indicate a new, more powerful chip is coming in this year\u2019s Watch models. It will be the first one built for the AI era, and couldn\u2019t be timed better for Siri AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which upcoming Apple products are you most excited about?
