Apple fans may need to wait a bit longer for some exciting new products and features. Recent rumors give updates on Siri’s AI upgrade timing, the upcoming foldable iPhone, AirPods Pro 3 delays, and possible new Apple TV hardware.
Siri AI Upgrades Coming in 2026
Apple confirmed that major AI improvements for Siri will arrive next year, likely with iOS 26.4 in spring 2026. This pushes back hopes for a 2025 release. Apple explained it needs to rebuild Siri’s underlying system for better quality, which takes time.
iPhone Fold Display Finalized, Launch Expected in 2026
Apple is close to launching its first foldable iPhone, with the inner display set at 7.8 inches and an outer screen of 5.5 inches. Early assembly could start this year, but the hinge design is still being finalized. Industry watchers believe a 2026 launch is likely if production goes smoothly.
AirPods Pro 3 Might Arrive in 2026, Not 2025
The new AirPods Pro model, once rumored for this fall, may be delayed until 2026. Analysts suggest Apple will skip a hardware update this year, following a three-year cycle since the AirPods Pro 2 launched in 2022.
New Apple TV 4K Could Feature Built-In Camera
Hints in the upcoming tvOS 26 software point to a new Apple TV 4K model with a camera, possibly for FaceTime and enhanced visual features. This upgrade might arrive later this year, aligning with recent reports.
These rumors paint a picture of Apple focusing on thoughtful, carefully developed upgrades over the next year or two. Fans will have to be patient but can look forward to some big changes in 2026.
