The release of Apple's inaugural foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Ultra, has been pushed back from its initially projected launch in the fall of 2026 to early 2027. Additionally, the development timeline for Apple's consumer-grade smart glasses has also been extended, with the new expected release date set for late 2027. This fall, Apple will cease offering the latest software updates for 16 devices across four of its main product lines, with the Apple Watch experiencing its most significant phase-out to date.

At WWDC26, Apple introduced new operating systems, including macOS 27, which places a strong emphasis on on-device AI capabilities. Meanwhile, iOS 27 has undergone substantial enhancements in its service functionalities. The beta version of these new systems will become available in July, with an official rollout scheduled for the fall. Furthermore, Apple is planning a major upgrade for the MacBook Pro later this year, encompassing improvements in screen materials, interaction methods, and chip performance.

Financially, Apple reported a total revenue of $111.184 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of 17%. Its net profit and other key financial metrics surpassed expectations, achieving new record highs. Notably, revenue in Greater China witnessed a significant year-on-year surge of 28.09%.

In terms of market performance, during the first quarter of 2026, Huawei secured the top spot in smartphone shipments within the Chinese mainland market, with Apple trailing closely behind. On a global scale, Apple's Mac computer shipments reached approximately 6.2 million units, reflecting a year-on-year growth of around 9%.
