Apple rolled out a wide-ranging slate of hardware over roughly eight weeks, though claims of “25-plus products” depend on counting product families, configurations, accessories and software separately; Apple has not published an official total.

The cycle began with Apple’s September 9 event, which introduced iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and AirPods 5; those products reached stores September 18, followed by Mac mini and Mac Studio on September 22.

The lineup also marked Apple’s entry into foldable phones: iPhone Duo, with a 7.6-inch internal display and A20 Pro chip, opened for pre-orders October 16 and was scheduled to become available October 23.

In October, Apple announced an updated iPad mini with an 8.5-inch OLED display and A20 Pro chip, an M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, a new M6 iMac, and 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with a PROLED XDR display and Touch.

By late October, eight products were in stores—the five products from the September event, Mac mini, Mac Studio and iPhone Duo—while the updated iPad mini, new iMac and MacBook Pro models were still available for pre-order, with November 6 availability scheduled.

The release cycle spanned desktops, laptops, tablets and a new foldable-phone category, with notable display changes; by contrast, the Apple Watch and AirPods updates were more routine annual refreshes.

Software releases accompanied the hardware but were separate from the product count: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 and watchOS 27 began rolling out September 14 with expanded Apple Intelligence and Siri capabilities, while October 27 updates covered Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Keynote, Pages and Numbers.
