Apple Launching These 15+ Products Later This Year

[MacRumors]

The calendar has turned to July, meaning that 2025 is now more than half over. And while the summer months are often quiet for Apple, the company still has more than a dozen products coming later this year, according to rumors.

Below, we have outlined at least 15 new Apple products that are expected to launch later this year, along with key rumored features for each.

iPhone 17 Series

• iPhone 17: Same design and A18 chip as iPhone 16, but with a larger 6.3-inch display. Upgraded 24-megapixel front camera, and possibly 120Hz support.
• iPhone 17 Air: All-new model with an ultra-thin and lightweight design, 6.6-inch display, A19 chip, 12GB of RAM, single 48-megapixel rear camera, 24-megapixel front camera, single speaker, and an optional battery case.
• iPhone 17 Pro: A redesigned rear camera bump with a trio of 48-megapixel cameras, an aluminum frame, an A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, and potentially a vapor chamber cooling system for improved heat dissipation.
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: All of the iPhone 17 Pro features listed above, plus a slightly thicker design for a larger and longer-lasting battery.

Apple Watches

• Apple Watch Ultra 3: 5G support, plus satellite connectivity for sending and receiving text messages in supported areas without Wi-Fi and cellular coverage. Other likely upgrades include an S10 chip or newer, faster charging, and a wide-angle OLED display that is brighter when viewed from an angle.
• Apple Watch Series 11: Spec-bump year with an S11 chip and smaller changes, following bigger design updates with the Series 10 last year.
• Apple Watch SE 3: Initially rumored to feature a plastic case in bright color options, but that might not be happening anymore. Not many rumors beyond that yet, but the Apple Watch SE has not been updated since 2022, so it should catch up with a handful of new features and improvements this year.

M5 Chip Devices

The following devices are rumored to receive Apple's next-generation M5 chips this year, but no major design changes are expected for any of them.

• iPad Pro: M5 chip
• Vision Pro: M5 chip
• iMac: M5 chip
• Mac mini: M5 and M5 Pro chips
• MacBook Pro: M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips

Home and Accessories

• Apple TV 4K (4th generation): Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support, and likely a newer chip than the A15 Bionic in the current model, for faster performance. A built-in FaceTime camera has been rumored for a future Apple TV, but it is unclear if that will arrive with the next model.
• HomePod mini (2nd generation): Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support, and likely improved sound quality.
• AirTag (2nd generation): Up to 3× longer item tracking range vs. current AirTag, and a more tamper-proof speaker as an anti-stalking measure.

Wild Cards

• AirPods Pro 3: Updated design and improved active noise cancellation, but rumors have been conflicting about a 2025 or 2026 launch.
• Studio Display 2: New model with mini-LED backlighting in late 2025 or early 2026.
• Apple Home Hub: Apple has long been rumored to be planning an all-new smart home hub, which might be something like a HomePod with a square iPad-like screen. It would allow users to control smart home accessories, make FaceTime video calls, use Apple's delayed personalized Siri features, and more.

Most of the devices in this list should be announced in September or October this year.

I wish for a new airport extreme router.......

 

[lovehateapple]

So MR is so sure about Apple Vision Pro with M5 chip that they didn't put it in the wild card category?? Interesting...

 

[turbineseaplane]

Mac mini: M5 and M5 Pro chips

Oh? There is now rumored to be a normal M5 Mini update?

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

Wishes: MBA with more port variety (don't make MBP thinner). iMac Pro with more ports than MBP.

If Apple reentered the router space it would need to be mesh product to compete.

So MR is so sure about Apple Vision Pro with M5 chip that they didn't put it in the wild card category?? Interesting...

They are basing it on this forecast from Kuo:

Vision Pro M5 Version:

• Mass production scheduled for 3Q25, with projected shipments of 150,000-200,000 units in 2025
• Processor upgrade from M2 to M5; other specifications remain unchanged
• Will continue as a niche product, aimed at maintaining market presence, developing the ecosystem, reducing component inventory, and exploring XR headset applications

Sounds concrete enough to elevate it to above “wildcard”.

Oh? There is now rumored to be a normal M5 Mini update?

There is currently only evidence for a mini Pro: https://appleinsider.com/articles/2...026#m5-family-expected-to-launch-in-late-2025
However, they conjecture that “Though we saw no signs of a base M5 Mac mini, it's unlikely that Apple would introduce only a high-performance M5 Pro model of the device.”

 

[Edd70]

Same chip in the 17 as the 16, wut? Also, if the display bigger, is the phone? The 16 is big enough, please, no bigger.

 

[PilotWoo]

So just updates then.

 

[Apple MessagePad]

Apple has never dropped 15+ products in a year, much less in the second half of a year. Never gonna happen.

 

[snipr125]

Apple Watch Ultra 3 needs to go straight to S11 processor, not the S10.

 

[klasma]

Same chip in the 17 as the 16, wut?

Both the iPhone 13 and 14 had an A15, just with one additional GPU core and more RAM on the 14. This may be similar.

Also, if the display bigger, is the phone? The 16 is big enough, please, no bigger.

Yes, the phone will be bigger, should be around 1-2 mm.

 

[CarlJ]

So just updates then.

Yep, the triangular phone won't be launching for like 4 or 5 years.

 

[fatTribble]

I’m disappointed there is no word of an updated polishing cloth. Apple hasn’t improved it at all since the first version.

Maybe M4 Pro moves to base, M5 Pro becomes the premium product?

 

[hubsoad]

I personaly find the IPhone 17 and 17 Pro disappointing. Why would I upgrade?

 

[obezcinnet]

I personaly find the IPhone 17 and 17 Pro disappointing. Why would I upgrade?

I am currently using an iphone 13 mini with battery health less than 80% capacity. why shouldn't I upgrade?

There's nothing for you to upgrade to, unless you're ok with a much larger device.

 

[krull1015]

Just updates, nothing to get excited about. The software bugs will still exist along with new ones 🥱🥱🥱

 

[frownface]

If they're launching the air; then they want to upsell people who'd otherwise be shopping for a 17 by giving them less reasons to get just the 17.

What? Heresy! A cloth that perfect, there is no possible improvement.

Thank you for getting the joke 🥰
Didn’t dawn on me to point out my dripping sarcasm

These updates look like they're minor updates, jumping from an M4 to an M5. But the biggest difference is they can - excluding the iPhone - completely remove their reliance on Broadcom across the board, and the licensing fees that they charge. That's a lot of money that Apple pays them, that they can save. I don't know what they charge for wifi or bluetooth, but I know that their cellular fees are some of the highest in the industry.

I've heard many claims in the past that these license fees prevented the cellular MacBook from existing, as the fee would have been based on to retail price of the entire product.

My personal opinion - I've had a USB 4G modem before and very occasionally tether to my phone - WiFi tethering is decent enough that I'd rather avoid Verizon needing to know my laptop exists / whatever changes they decide my contract "needs" to have. A frequent user might be more annoyed by tethering.
