Question: What are the best iPhones and Macs available right now in June 2026?

Answer:

iPhone Lineup (June 2026)

The iPhone 17 is the best choice for most buyers at $799, packing the A19 chip and 8GB RAM, ensuring smooth performance. It’s getting the attention because the base model now covers all necessary bases for $300 or $400 less than Pro models, with a new 6.3-inch display and “ProMotion” at 120Hz (up from 60Hz).

If you want the absolute flagship: The iPhone 17 Pro Max offers the fastest A19 Pro chip, a 6.9-inch screen, 3,000 nits peak brightness, and anti-glare coating, even available in a 2TB variant for video recording.

Budget option: The iPhone 17e is the cheapest model with the newer A19 chip and longer battery life than iPhone 16.

If you want larger without Pro pricing: The iPhone 16 Plus offers a larger screen and longer battery life for video and reading.

Current OS: iOS 26 (Apple switched from version numbers to release years).

Mac Lineup (June 2026)

The MacBook Air (M5) is the best MacBook for most buyers because it offers the strongest balance of price, portability, battery life, and performance. A 15-inch M5 MacBook Air launched in early 2026 alongside the 13-inch model.

For your M2 Air → upgrade path: M5 is the current generation. Amazon shows 15-inch M5 MacBook Air (512GB) at around $1,149.99 with discounts.

If you need raw power: The MacBook Pro M5 Pro 16-inch is for power users who do video editing, ML work, or heavy compilation.

Budget entry point: The MacBook Neo is the budget pick that handles web browsing and apps in a compact form factor with fun colors.

Three-tier structure now: Neo (budget, A18 Pro) → Air M5 (mainstream) → Pro M5/M5 Max (premium).

For your setup

Your M2 Air is still capable, but M5 would give you:

For GPU ML work, your RTX 4070 + 62GB RAM workstation is still your workhorse. M5 would complement for development/testing/mobile work, not replace it.
