As we buzz our way into February, we’ve put the first month of 2026 behind us already.

Bar the new Air Tag 2, nothing new on the Apple front as yet. Though according to rumours we hopefully will start to see more M5 models announced over the next few months. Plus more rumours for the iPhone 18 models (which won’t come out until about September) - plus keeping an eye on what Apple will do for their first “foldable phone” - so that will be an interesting one to watch out for.

So definitely should be a busy year ahead on the Apple front!
