Apple's product calendar for 2026 is not over yet. The company has several hardware launches scheduled for November, followed by software updates and new smart home accessories expected to arrive through December.
The first date is November 4, when Apple Intelligence features for users in China will enter testing through the latest iOS developer beta. Apple is working with Alibaba to bring Qwen support to Siri, Writing Tools and Visual Intelligence.
On November 6, Apple will launch five products. The lineup includes an OLED iPad mini with an A20 Pro chip, starting at $699, and an M6 iMac from $1,499. Apple will also introduce a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 from $1,999, alongside new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens, starting at $2,899 and $3,399 respectively. The touchscreen models will be Apple's first Macs with this capability. Pre-orders are open, although delivery dates vary by region and configuration.
November 13 will bring two more launches. Apple's HomeView smart home display will cost $299 and will be offered in tabletop and wall-mounted versions. The device can answer questions using Siri AI, display photos, support FaceTime calls, play music, show recipes and present calendar events. Pre-orders are open in launch markets, but the product will not initially be available in the European Union.
The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K will also arrive on November 13 at a price of $299. Apple is offering a single 128GB model, which adds Siri AI and supports four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2 or second-generation HomePod speakers. Pre-orders are already available.
Apple Creator Studio will receive updates during November. Final Cut Pro will gain built-in MotionVFX content, Pixelmator Pro will add Generate Fill, and Logic Pro, Keynote, Pages and Numbers will receive new AI assistants in beta. Existing subscribers will receive the updates at no additional cost.
November 27 could also be an important date for shoppers. Apple has held a four-day Black Friday shopping event in recent years, generally offering gift cards with eligible purchases. The company's upcoming deals are expected to be tracked in its Black Friday coverage.
In December, Apple plans to release iOS 27.3 alongside the first public Apple Intelligence features for users in China. The initial rollout will support compatible iPhones, while other platforms will follow after the necessary regulatory approvals.
Apple's new Home Collection is also scheduled to begin arriving from December. The third-party lineup, developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, will include smart home cameras, thermostats and a lock. Apple says some accessories will not be available until early 2027.
