We have a lot of features related to the event, which took place on April 1.<\/p>\n<p>Other than the possibility of some M5 Mac refreshes, there\u2019s not much else expected in April. The OS 26.5 updates will continue their beta tests, with a small chance of going into wide release late in the month. But we no longer expect any sort of Siri overhaul until the OS 27 releases later this year, leaving precious little in the OS 26 updates. There will be new Apple TV shows and Apple Arcade games, of course. But when it comes to new hardware, again, all eyes are now on WWDC in June rather than April or May.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-hardware-releases\">New hardware releases<\/h2>\n<p>Though they were announced in March, the <strong>AirPods Max 2<\/strong> only started to ship at the start of April. The new model takes the existing AirPods Max hardware (including the same colors) and upgrades the audio processor from the H1 to the H2, bringing with it some new features and improvements to noise cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s a lot of other hardware still rumored to arrive in the first half of 2026, any of which could arrive this month:<\/p>\n<p><strong>M5 Mac mini:<\/strong> Apple updated its M4 laptops to M5 processors, but its desktops still run M4 chips. The Mac mini is already low on stock or sold out everywhere, so it\u2019s probably first in line to get an update. <\/p>\n<p><strong>M5 Ultra Mac Studio:<\/strong> Now that the Mac Pro is retired, the Mac Studio takes the crown as Apple\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3106144\/are-new-macs-on-the-way-heres-what-apple-is-releasing-in-april.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything coming from Apple in April 2026 https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3106144\/are-new-macs-on-the-way-heres-what-apple-is-releasing-in-april.html Publish Date: 2026-04-03 11:43:00 Source Domain: www.macworld.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":231095,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/apple-april-2026-graphic.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[53,63,54],"class_list":["post-231094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-mac-mini","tag-mac-pro","tag-mac-studio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231094"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231094"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":231096,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231094\/revisions\/231096"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
