Apple is expected to release new iPhone features this month, with iOS 26.5 launching alongside companion updates like iPadOS 26. 5, watchOS 26., and more. The company has a tradition of previewing its forthcoming accessibility features in May, usually around Global Accessibility Awareness Day. However, if Apple continues its pattern of releasing its first x.6 betas before WWDC, these could be the last ones seen until June. Apple also has several new series premiering in May and a new movie, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, and Star City, set to premiere on May 29. No new Apple hardware launches are expected in May.
