  • Apple has a tonne of products in its pipeline working concurrently across upcoming iPhones to iPads to Mac devices.
  • Turns out the Cupertino-based giant released a macOS version and coincidently, it has references to more than 20 Apple products coming our way.
  • Expct upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series, iPhone Ultra, MacBook Pro OLED, AirPods with cameras, a new Mac device, and a lot more producs.

Apple is working on a series of new products, including the much-anticipated iPhone Ultra, AirPods with cameras, the iPhone 18 Pro series, a MacBook Pro with the M6 chipset, and beyond. Although usually we get references from various sources, this time Apple did something different. Turns out all the devices mentioned above (and more) were spotted in references on the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate (RC) that came recently. 

macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC reveals full-blown Apple products roadmap

According to the code and references mentioned on-board macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC, it mentions the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max under model numbers V63 and V64, respectively. Both these devices have been heavily rumored, with an estimated 18% better performance thanks to the A20 Pro chipset fabbed on TSMC’s 2nm GAA process. 

Moving on, there’s also a reference to iPhone Ultra, the first-ever foldable phone from Apple, bearing model number V68. The iPhone Air 2 has been referenced as well with model number V62 awaiting launch sometime in spring 2027. Most importantly, the iPhone 18 standard will arrive during spring 2027, thanks to Apple’s split-launch strategy. For now, it carries model number V67.

A slew of Mac and iPad devices to follow

As per Apple Insider, there’s an upcoming iPad mini bearing model numbers J510 (Wi-Fi) and J511 (Cellular) in the making with an OLED panel and an A19 Pro chipset under the hood. Dubbed the iPad mini 8, this is expected to arrive with that significant display upgrade and with a late 2026 launch timeline.

Heading forward, we have the MacBook Pro OLED with model number J804 powered by M6 SoC coming before the end of this year. This will effectively succeed the current-gen M5 MacBook Pro. Other MacBook Pro devices are referenced in macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC as well, bearing models 114c, K114s, K116c, and K116s, probably variants of the same OLED laptops coming later this year. 

Get ready to witness AirPods with cameras

Well, that’s right. The Cupertino giant is working on AirPods with cameras that we covered a few days ago. Codenamed B790, the product was featured in RC code references, including visual intelligence. There’s also a B798 in the making, although it could be a separate AirPod or rather a different version in testing.

We have Apple Beats headphones in the works. Actually, there are two references, B518 and B522, in the leaked Apple products roadmap, although the launch dates are not available.

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle is AirPods Pro 4, the fourth-gen buds succeeding last year’s AirPods Pro 2. These are codenamed AirPods Pro 1.4 with rumored features including visual intelligence, a new H3 chipset for better audio performance, adaptive noise cancellation, and gesture controls. 

Apple Vision Pro in the making

The next-gen Apple Vision Pro, bearing model number N109, is in the making. It is possibly the affordable Vision headset that we were talking about a few weeks ago. As per reports, N109 has been in the making since 2024, and the latest macOS code simply references it again.

It is reportedly a Vision Pro device with a faster processor, better performance, improved external cameras, and lightweight, with a release timeline of the end of 2026, although it has been pushed forward. There’s also word around its affordability, which means having a better chipset might not make the cut if it’s the same device we are talking about.

Home accessories are getting their share of upgrades as well

Certain home accessories from Apple are on the lookout for an update as well. For starters, the Home Hub with model number J490 will see a Siri-based upgrade. It is possibly an upcoming Home Hub from Apple that can be mounted on the wall or another one that comes with a stand.

Moving further, the code references Pebble, a codename that Apple uses for HomeOS running on-board the Home Hub. We have some new colors making their debut on the HomePod mini 2, which include Starlight, Space Gray, Silver, and Rose Pin. 

Finally, we have a home accessory referenced as ‘J229Architecture’ that can detect alarm sounds and capture images and is equipped with multiple sensors on board. It could be a security camera or an accessory working with Home Hub products. 

Other model numbers referenced on leaked Apple products roadmap

Turns out there are a ton of other model numbers referenced in macOS 26.76; however, these are not known in connection to an upcoming device. 

  • A3436, A3437, A3438, A3439, A3440, A3441 (could be one product, multiple variants)
  • A3456, A3457
  • A3465
  • A3529, A3530, A3531, A3532, A3533 (could be one product, multiple variants)
