GoKawiilApple’s biggest product launches of the year are almost here, with 10+ new products coming very soon. Here are the five new Apple products I’m the most excited about.
iPhone Ultra
The first foldable iPhone is almost here, and I’m thrilled to get what’s essentially an iPhone and iPad mini in the same device.
Even though we’ve gotten plenty of leaks about hardware, iPhone Ultra’s software is what will ultimately be a huge contributor to the overall experience. So I’m fascinated to see how Apple adapts iOS 27 to feel native and more capable on a foldable.
I haven’t tried a foldable smartphone before, but everything I’ve read makes the form factor seem like the future. Apple has clearly taken its time before entering the foldable market, and my expectations are high that it will be worth the wait.
HomePad
I’ve been wanting Apple to take the smart home seriously for many years. And when Mark Gurman first broke a detailed report on the forthcoming ‘HomePad’ in late 2024, it signaled that such a shift was coming.
Everything about the HomePad sounds very appealing to me. I’m excited for Apple Photos slideshows, security camera functionality, Siri AI, playing Apple Music with lyrics onscreen, and more.
Siri AI delays led to a much longer wait for HomePad than expected. But all signs point to an imminent launch, and I’m ready to see how Apple casts vision for a new smart home era via the HomePad and other new Home products.
