Apple readies Mac mini, AirPods 5, OLED iPad mini

Apple is preparing a wave of new products for the second half of 2026, with a refreshed Mac mini potentially arriving within days, according to Bloomberg.

The new Mac mini would be the desktop’s first update in nearly two years and could debut before Apple’s expected September iPhone event.

Apple has reportedly tested versions using both M5- and M6-generation processors. The current Mac mini has also seen increased demand as a machine for running artificial intelligence applications locally.

The company is expected to follow the Mac mini with new AirPods 5, which could debut as early as its September product event. The earbuds are reportedly being developed in standard and noise-canceling versions.
