What Tech Fans Expect from Apple's Second Half of 2026

The survey reveals a strong consensus on the industry's most anticipated hardware: the foldable iPhone. Despite Apple maintaining its customary silence on the project, 68 percent of participants believe the device will materialize before the year ends. A similar majority, 68 percent, remains optimistic that Apple will reintroduce a black color option for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, hoping to move past the durability concerns that plagued previous iterations.

Expectations for the laptop and audio segments are equally high. While 74 percent of respondents anticipate the arrival of new AirPods, sentiment regarding a touchscreen MacBook remains divided, with 55 percent expecting the feature to debut in 2026. Furthermore, 65 percent of the audience predicts that the M6 chip series will make its scheduled appearance this autumn. The final round of the contest remains open until September 1, offering participants a chance to win a new Apple Watch ahead of the expected mid-September keynote.
