  • Code from Apple's macOS 26.7 Release Candidate has revealed details of over 10 unreleased products.
  • Leaked information includes an AirPods model with an infrared camera and 'Visual Intelligence' features.
  • Other potential reveals include a foldable iPhone, a new Home Hub, OLED displays for MacBook and iPad mini, and a next-generation Apple TV.

A recent Release Candidate build of Apple's macOS 26.7 has inadvertently become a source of information regarding more than a dozen unannounced products. Developers examining the operating system's code have uncovered details spanning multiple product lines, suggesting a significant upcoming hardware refresh from the tech giant.

The most notable among the leaked items is a new iteration of AirPods. These earbuds are reportedly set to feature an infrared camera and a capability dubbed 'Visual Intelligence.' This integration could allow the AirPods to identify and store information about objects by simply pointing the earbud's camera at them, potentially ushering in a new era of AI applications for wearable devices.

Beyond the AirPods, the code hints at several other highly anticipated products. These include Apple's first-ever foldable iPhone, a completely new Home Hub smart home control center, and the introduction of OLED display technology to MacBooks and iPad minis. Additionally, the data points towards a next-generation Apple TV that may come equipped with an upgraded Siri Remote.

Given Apple's typical schedule, with its annual fall event usually held in September, it is widely speculated that some of these revealed products could be officially announced next month. The growing clarity surrounding Apple's product roadmap for the latter half of the year suggests that the upcoming autumn event is poised to showcase substantial hardware innovations.
