The upcoming iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, AirPods 3, Macs, iPads and more from Apple in the second half of 2021.

At the start of the year, we looked at what Apple may release within the next year or so. 2021 has been a great start for Apple, with new and updated hardware such as the Apple TV 4K, AirTags, iPad Pro and the 24-inch iMac. Now that WWDC has come and gone, unfortunately with no hardware announcements, we are taking a look at all of the products Apple may have in the pipeline. This guide should also act as a ‘think before you buy one of the following products’, as it could well be updated very soon.

None of the below information is from Apple and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
