And in addition to touch support, it will boast an OLED display, Dynamic Island, and possibly a C2 cellular modem option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a long time since the MacBook Pro got a new look. But far longer since touchscreens became the norm, and Apple decided to forego them on the Mac. I\u2019m excited to see how touch might enhance the experience of the Mac moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>#2: 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\/09\/apple-tv-4k-tvos-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1011248\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/31\/apple-tv-4k-might-break-a-record-no-one-wants-to-see-happen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">never been a longer wait<\/a> for new Apple TV hardware than the current drought of updates. Apple\u2019s latest model, the third-gen Apple TV 4K, was introduced in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumors <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/08\/27\/new-apple-tv-4k-is-coming-four-features-launching-soon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">indicate<\/a> we\u2019ll finally get a new Apple TV 4K in October, headlined by a powerful A19 or A19 Pro chip and Siri AI support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This summer Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/25\/apple-price-increases-mac-ipad-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">raised prices<\/a> on most of its products, including the Apple TV. That means the four-year-old Apple TV 4K now costs $199\u2014far more than the $129 price it <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/10\/18\/new-apple-tv-4k-a15-chip-hdr10\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">launched at<\/a>.

But they ramped up in 2024 when Mark Gurman offered <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/11\/12\/apple-smart-home-ai-release-date\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an in-depth report<\/a> on what\u2019s commonly called the \u2018HomePad.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HomePad is a smart display with built-in speaker that will reportedly spearhead Apple\u2019s renewed push into home products. It will have a new OS that resembles parts of iOS, tvOS, and watchOS, including a StandBy-like mode.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siri AI is expected to be central to the product, which will also feature a camera, customizable widgets, and built-in Apple apps like Photos, Notes, Music, Calendar, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which new Apple products in October and beyond are you most excited for?
