Apple has 11 launches lined up between now and the middle of 2027, if you combine what Apple has announced with what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported. Two of them, HomeView and the new Apple TV 4K, are confirmed by Apple and go on sale November 13. The other nine come from Gurman’s September 14 roadmap for late 2026 and early 2027 and his follow-up reporting, and Apple hasn’t confirmed any of them.
Gurman’s record on that September roadmap is good so far. He put six products in late 2026: the touchscreen MacBook Pro, an M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, an M6 iMac, HomePod mini 2, the Apple TV 4K and an OLED iPad mini. Apple has announced all six. That doesn’t make his 2027 list a promise, but it’s the best map you have.

Apple confirms HomeView and Apple TV 4K for November 13, the only dates set in stone
Apple’s newsroom lists HomeView at $299 in tabletop and wall-mounted versions, with a 7-inch Liquid Retina display. It goes on sale in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa, but not the EU. Apple also lists a $129.95 Power over Ethernet wall mount for early 2027, which is the only 2027 date Apple itself has published here.

The Apple TV 4K uses the A19 chip. Apple says it has up to 50 percent faster CPU and up to 2x faster GPU performance than the previous model. Apple has put a date on both, which is more than any rumor in the table can claim.
Gurman expects three iPhones in spring 2027, and the iPhone 18 barely changes
Gurman’s September report moves the base iPhone 18 out of the usual September slot and into spring 2027, next to the iPhone 18e and the iPhone Air 2. We broke down the base iPhone 18 timing earlier. Gurman describes the iPhone 18 as mostly an iPhone 17 with an A20 chip, and the 18e as a chip upgrade only.
That changes how you should shop. If you want a standard iPhone in the next few months, the iPhone 17 is not about to be made obsolete by a redesign. The iPhone Air 2 is the spring phone with real changes, an added ultrawide camera and better battery life, per Gurman. If you skipped the first Air because it had one rear camera, that’s the one worth waiting for.
OLED iPad Air, iPad Pro, base iPad, MacBook Neo and M6 MacBook Air fill out the first half of 2027
Gurman’s November 1 Power On newsletter said Apple plans new iPad Air, iPad Pro and entry-level iPad models in the first half of 2027, which we reported here. The OLED iPad Air has a second source. ETNews reported in April that Samsung Display could start mass production of the panels as early as the end of 2026, with a launch expected in March or May 2027. ETNews says the Air gets a single-stack LTPS OLED panel, not the two-stack LTPO panel in the iPad Pro. If you’re buying an iPad Air with M4 now, you’re buying the last LCD model.
On the Mac side, Gurman reported October 27 that a second-generation MacBook Neo is planned for the first half of 2027, and he has said it gets the A19 Pro chip and 12GB of memory. Digitimes reported that Apple told suppliers to plan for 16 million Neo units in 2027. The M6 MacBook Air in Gurman’s September list is a chip update. If you need a MacBook Air now, a discounted M5 model gives up little.
One product you won’t see in this window is the bigger HomeView. Gurman’s October 18 newsletter said a 9-inch model with a screen that turns 360 degrees on a robotic arm is planned for 2027 or 2028, so don’t hold off on a HomeView for it.
