Apple Reportedly Hints at Three New Products Coming Later This Fall—Here’s What to Expect

A new report has claimed that Apple has already shared hints of its upcoming hardware release later this fall, delivering the latest innovations from the Cupertino tech giant.

iPhone Ultra: Apple's First Foldable iPhone

The iPhone Ultra has been Apple's worst-kept secret for months, and WWDC only added more fuel to the fire. The first iOS 27 developer beta arrived on June 8 and almost immediately gave away more than Apple probably intended.

iOS 27 beta code includes references to an iPhone's fold state, angle, and number of built-in displays, none of which apply to any iPhone currently in Apple's lineup.

The software hints go beyond just code strings as Apple built landscape support into many more built-in apps, prepared developers about new app resizing needs, and updated iPhone Mirroring in macOS Golden Gate to allow free resizing of the app window.

Together, these changes strongly suggest Apple is preparing its software ecosystem for a device with a significantly wider and more flexible display. The iPhone Ultra, which has also been referred to as the iPhone Fold, is widely expected to debut in September alongside the rest of the iPhone 18 lineup.

MacBook Ultra Is Coming With a Touchscreen

According to a report by 9to5Mac, the MacBook Ultra is shaping up to be another first for Apple, bringing a touchscreen to the Mac for the first time. macOS Golden Gate arrived with a handful of changes that only make sense with touch input in mind, including scroll to refresh, the touch-friendly gesture long familiar on iPhone, has been added to macOS Golden Gate.

Sidecar now supports direct touch input, and Messages has gained a new Drawing iMessage app. Markup tools have also been extended to more Mac apps.

Spacing on user interface elements like the menu bar has also been updated to accommodate larger touch targets. These are the kinds of small but deliberate changes that a company makes when preparing an operating system for a new input method.

A fall announcement of the MacBook Ultra would put it in line with Apple's typical September or October hardware event cadence.

Apple Home Security Camera

The third product hinted at through WWDC is an Apple-branded home security camera. The Home app in iOS 27 received five notable new features this cycle, and four of them are tied specifically to HomeKit Secure Video. That includes long-requested support for 4K video recording. Apple's decision to prioritize significant changes to HomeKit Secure Video is widely seen as a signal that it has its own camera launching soon.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had previously reported details about the device. "The device has facial recognition and infrared sensors to determine who is in a room," he said.

"Apple believes users will place cameras throughout their home to help with automation," Gurman added. "That could mean turning lights off when someone leaves a room or automatically playing music liked by a particular family member."

The camera is expected to be positioned as a privacy-focused alternative to third-party HomeKit cameras already on the market, competing directly with options from Arlo, Eufy, and Logitech.

With iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate both arriving this fall, the timing lines up for all three products to land alongside the software updates they appear to be preparing for.
