If you want to look ahead and see all of the products that Apple has planned for 2026, there is a good look at everything to kick off the year. The newest macOS has a cool new feature called Edge Light that puts a light on your screen to frame a video call giving you better light—now you don't have to buy a separate light for your camera.
