Every Apple product announced or launched in October 2026, and when each one ships
Apple announced its October products in two batches, one on October 13 and one from October 26 to 28. The iPhone Duo, the foldable announced in September, went on sale October 23. Most of the new hardware ships in November.
iPhone Duo preorders now deliver in January
Apple announced its first foldable iPhone on September 9. It has a 7.6-inch inner display, an A20 Pro chip and a dual-battery architecture, comes in Star White and Night Sky, uses eSIM only and runs iOS 27.1.
It starts at $1,999 (about ₱127,700), which is $700 (about ₱44,700) more than the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and storage runs from 256GB to 2TB. Preorders opened October 16 and sales began October 23 in more than 70 countries and regions. Another 28 follow on October 30.
Apple said preorder demand was exceptionally high and that walk-in stock would be limited. On launch day, delivery estimates for preorders showed January 25.
HomePod mini 2 adds Siri AI and surround sound
On October 13, Apple announced three home products by press release instead of holding an event. The first to ship is the HomePod mini 2, which costs $149 (about ₱9,500) and arrives October 30. It adds Siri AI, a “Sound Glow” top and four-speaker surround sound.
The MacBook Pro gets a touchscreen
The OLED MacBook Pro, announced October 28, is the first Mac with an OLED display and touch. It’s a little thinner and lighter than the mini-LED models, which stay on sale.
It also brings the Dynamic Island to the Mac for the first time and brings back the glowing Apple logo after 10 years. The speakers give deeper bass and better audio with the lid closed, storage goes up to 16TB (double the old limit), and adding touch didn’t cost the MacBook Pro any battery life.
The chips are the M5 Pro and M5 Max that Apple introduced earlier this year. The OLED version costs $400 (about ₱25,500) more than a comparable mini-LED model and starts at $2,899 (about ₱185,200). A maxed-out configuration reaches $14,549 (about ₱929,200).
The M6 chip reaches two more Macs
The 14-inch MacBook Pro moves to the M6 chip, announced October 27 with upgraded connectivity. The M6 iMac arrived the same day in the same colors as before, and its power adapter is available with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port.
The iPad mini goes OLED and gets water resistance
The new iPad mini, announced October 26, has an 8.5-inch OLED display, an optional nano-texture finish and a thinner, lighter body. Inside are the A20 Pro chip and Apple’s N1 chip, which brings Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
It’s Apple’s first iPad with an official water and dust rating, IP67. A new Acoustic Display audio system removes the speaker holes, and the front camera now sits in landscape orientation, like every current iPad.
It still lacks ProMotion, fast charging needs a 35W adapter sold separately, and it comes in two colors. The 512GB model gets an extra CPU core and a dual Neural Engine. The price starts at $699 (about ₱44,600), the second iPad mini increase this year. A new TechWoven Smart Folio costs $79 (about ₱5,000).
HomeView is Apple’s new smart home hub
HomeView, a new smart home hub, ships November 13. Apple also introduced the Apple Home Collection, a line of cameras, a lock, thermostats and more, and ADT will install HomeView and other products in homes.
The Apple TV 4K gets Siri AI
The new Apple TV 4K ships November 13 with an A19 chip, Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. Far-field microphones allow hands-free Siri, and four HomePods can play surround sound through it. The new Siri Remote costs $59 (about ₱3,800) and works with other Apple TV models.
The Mac Studio reaches 512GB
Apple announced the M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studio on August 25, and the base configurations shipped September 22. The 512GB memory option arrived this month at $22,299 (about ₱1,424,200).
The M5 Ultra goes up to a 36-core CPU, an 80-core GPU and 512GB of unified memory at 1.2TB/s of bandwidth. The Mac Studio starts at $2,499 (about ₱159,600) with the M5 Max and $5,499 (about ₱351,200) with the M5 Ultra.
