Apple plans 16 more products after iPhone Duo launch, Gurman reports

Apple ↗ 0.24% entered the foldable smartphone market on September 9 with the iPhone Duo, a $1,999 device that opens to reveal a 7.6-inch inner display, marking one of the company's most aggressive hardware pushes in years. The announcement came at the "Surprise and Shine" event in Cupertino — the first product launch under CEO John Ternus — alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and AirPods 5.reuters+1

Now, with those products moving from rumor to reality, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple has at least 16 more products in the pipeline for late 2026 and into 2027, signaling the company intends to sustain its momentum well beyond the fall launch window.

The iPhone Duo and a Foldable Future

The iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display, a precision hinge with titanium structure, Apple Pencil support, and the A20 Pro chip. Pre-orders open October 16, with availability beginning October 23. Reuters reported the device as Apple's bid to "leap ahead of rivals who have been selling folding phones for years".airguide+3

Gurman has gone further, reporting that Apple plans to expand the Duo into a full product line — with a larger Duo Max, a smaller Duo mini, and an entry-level Duo SE in future years. He predicts the iPhone Duo will become "the predominant foldable phone on the market" by early next year, with demand intense enough to cause supply shortages and inflated resale prices.gsmarena

What's Still Coming in 2026

Beyond the September launches, Apple has several products on track for the remaining months of the year. According to Gurman's latest reporting, new Apple TV and HomePod mini models with Siri AI support are finally expected to ship after years of delays. An M6 iMac, an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, an OLED iPad mini, and a new smart home hub with a 7-inch touchscreen are also slated for late 2026.macrumors+2

Apple already launched the M6 Mac mini in August, introducing its latest chip generation ahead of the September event. The remaining M6 Macs are expected to be "chip and ship" upgrades, with the processor as the primary change.cultofmac

2027 and Beyond

The first half of 2027 is expected to bring nine additional products, including the standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, a second-generation iPhone Air, an M6 MacBook Air, and a budget iPad 12. Notably, Apple broke with tradition by omitting the base iPhone 18 from its September event, splitting its iPhone lineup across two annual launch windows for the first time.appleinsider+2

A touchscreen MacBook — potentially branded "MacBook Ultra" — is also in development, though sources remain unclear on whether it will arrive in late 2026 or early 2027. Gurman has separately reported that AirPods with built-in cameras and Apple's first smart glasses could arrive by late 2027.cultofmac+1
