1 week ago 6
Tomorrow is Halloween, and past November is upon us. Below, we outline what to expect from Apple adjacent month, arsenic the slower vacation play approaches.


Apple is expected to footwear disconnected November by releasing iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1, tvOS 26.1, and visionOS 26.1. With beta investigating present wrapped up, the updates volition apt beryllium released this Monday, November 3 oregon Tuesday, November 4.

iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS 26.1 fto you choose your preferred look for Liquid Glass. iPadOS 26.1 besides reintroduces a mentation of the Slide Over feature for multitasking, and it expands the Apple Vision Pro app to iPads. With visionOS 26.1, videos successful the Spatial Gallery app volition amusement playback controls and video magnitude portion successful immersive view.

watchOS 26.1 and tvOS 26.1 are insignificant updates, with bug fixes and show improvements.

The beta bid ne'er stops, with Apple apt to effect the archetypal betas of iOS 26.2, iPadOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, and visionOS 26.2 successful the archetypal oregon 2nd week of November. Apple typically releases the "point-two" updates successful mid-December, earlier Apple's bundle engineers instrumentality clip disconnected for the vacation season.

We are inactive waiting connected Apple's promised U.S. passport feature successful the iPhone's Wallet app. Apple said the diagnostic is "coming aboriginal this year," but it is unclear if it volition necessitate iOS 26.2, oregon if volition beryllium enabled with a server-side update.


Earlier this month, Apple updated the 14-inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Vision Pro with its next-generation M5 chip, and erstwhile rumors person indicated the institution inactive planned to denote astatine slightest a fewer further products earlier the extremity of the year. However, arsenic we caput into November, it is unclear if that volition inactive happen.

The pursuing Apple products person astatine 1 constituent been rumored to beryllium updated successful 2025:

The pursuing products are rumored to motorboat successful precocious 2025 oregon aboriginal 2026:Apple seldom announces caller products successful November, but it is not unheard of. Apple introduced the archetypal 16-inch MacBook Pro successful November 2019, and the archetypal HomePod mini debuted successful November 2020. Apple has adjacent announced a fewer products successful December implicit the years, specified arsenic aggregate Mac Pro models, the Pro Display XDR, and the AirPods Max.

HomePod mini and Apple TV inventory is starting to dwindle astatine prime Apple Store locations astir the world, arsenic often happens up of caller models.


There is 1 large caveat, though. Apple delayed its much personalized mentation of Siri until adjacent year — it is expected to motorboat with iOS 26.4 successful March — truthful possibly it is holding disconnected connected releasing a caller HomePod mini until then. Apple's long-rumored astute location hub was reportedly delayed until the all-new Siri is ready. However, this is conscionable a theory.

Apple's nonrecreational video editing instrumentality Final Cut Pro often receives a large update successful November, and we precocious reported that the institution is perchance planning to merchandise iPad versions of its Final Cut Pro companion apps Compressor and Motion, Logic Pro companion app MainStage, and Pixelmator Pro. Maybe those volition travel retired adjacent month, too.


Finally, Apple has been heavy promoting its upcoming sci-fi play bid Pluribus, which hails from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. The archetypal 2 episodes of Pluribus volition beryllium released connected Apple TV (formerly known arsenic Apple TV+) connected Friday, November 7, and a caller occurrence volition travel each Friday done December 26.

Of course, these are lone the things that we cognize to expect, and Apple could person immoderate different announcements successful store this November. Apple volition apt instrumentality its extended instrumentality argumentation for the vacation play adjacent month, denote year-end awards for services similar Apple Music and the App Store, and more. Stay tuned!
