Apple Reportedly Plans to Launch These 10 Products in 'Coming Months'

[MacRumors]

Apple's annual September event is now in the rearview mirror, with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3, and AirPods Pro 3 set to launch this Friday, September 19.

As always, there is more to come. In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple plans to release many products in the "coming months."

In late 2025 to early 2026, Gurman expects Apple to release 10 products, including an iPad Pro with an M5 chip "as early as October":

• Apple TV: A faster A17 Pro chip that will support next year's revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, and likely Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support. 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 specifically.
• HomePod mini: S9 chip or newer with support for next year's revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, likely Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, improved sound quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for proximity features, and potentially new color options like Red.
• AirTag: Up to 3× longer item tracking range vs. current AirTag, a more tamper-proof speaker, and "very low" battery life alerts.
• iPad Pro: M5 chip and two front cameras, allowing for photos and video calls in both portrait and landscape orientations.
• Vision Pro: A faster M4 chip or M5 chip, a new head strap that improves comfort, and potentially a Space Black color option.
• iPhone 17e: The successor to the iPhone 16e is expected to launch around March with the same A19 chip as in the iPhone 17.
• MacBook Pro: Multiple sources, including Gurman, have indicated that MacBook Pro models with the M5 series of chips might not launch until early 2026, and it is unclear if any other Macs with M5 chips like an iMac or Mac mini would debut this year as a result. Perhaps we will see another MacBook Pro announcement in January.
• MacBook Air: New models with the M5 chip are expected in the first quarter of 2026.
• Studio Display: A new version of the Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting is expected to launch in late 2025 or early 2026. If no new Macs launch this year, then early 2026 is the more likely timeframe.
• Apple Home Hub: Apple's long-rumored smart home hub is expected to be announced around March next year.

Gurman's list did not mention the rumored lower-priced MacBook with an A18 Pro chip, which will launch in late 2025 to early 2026, according to previous reports.

It is not yet known if Apple plans to host another special event this year, or if these products would be announced with press releases on the Apple Newsroom website only. If the M5 chip debuts in 2025, then it is likely that Apple would host an event, as the M1 chip through to the M4 chip were all unveiled during events.

Where is XDR-2?..

I might be interested in a new Apple TV but nothing else, upgrading from 13PM to 17PM and all my other devices are doing great.

Not quite sure how an S9 chip is going to provide Apple Intelligence…

 

[mashinhead]

Why on earth would they put two cameras in an iPad? They just put a larger square sensor like they did on the iPhone and digitally crop it

 

[Pafoofnik]

But will it core ay apple?

 

[Manzanito]

Is the mac pro effectively dead?

 

[btrach144]

Why would anyone want to pay $12 to read Marks inaccurate reports? Why do we have these ads injected into articles? Premium members pay to not see ads.

I don’t think we’ll see a faster Apple TV or HomePod mini until they are ready to launch next gen Siri. Another product launch based on promises is legally dangerous for Apple. With rumors of Apple HomeKit products coming out as well, I feel those will also be included in a next gen Siri / Apple HomeKit mega event.

In terms of iPad Pro, the average cycle length is 495 days and today the iPad Pro m4 is 495 days old. So it’s right on time for an October refresh with m5.

I could honestly see an updated iPad Pro m5 in October and new air tags gen 2 as those have been rumored forever and we are seeing uwb 2 placed in even AirPods now. Plus, it makes sense to release them before the busy holiday travel season.

My guess is we won’t see new Mac’s, studio display, or Vision Pro until q1 next year.

iPad Mini 8 when

iPad Mini 8 when

According to buyers guide, iPad mini is only halfway through its average product lifecycle. Could be another year.

I might be interested in a new Apple TV but nothing else, upgrading from 13PM to 17PM and all my other devices are doing great.

TV and, maybe, Home Pod minis... Everything else is fairly new and not really worth upgrading at the moment.

That is what I would expect. Updated Camera and new Chip - new iPad is ready.

My ATV 4K 2nd gen does streaming just fine, but when I switch between apps, it's very laggy so that's really the main reason why id consider a new one

 

[Che Castro]

Apple TV with the name pro on it sounds expensive
I hope they make a regular version
I thought the rumor was a cheaper Apple TV ?

 

[hokuspokus]

I was considering getting AirTags a short while ago but decided to wait for the AirTag 2.

I also hope Apple comes out with other form factors like a card sized one with precision finding. A current AirTag wouldn't fit in my thin wallet.

iPad Mini 8 when

There were 3 years between the 6 and 7, so likely not until 2027.

 

[ghanwani]

From products on this list, Home Hub has the highest likelihood of never seeing light of day, followed by Vision Pro.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Does the S9 SiP have the external I/O to make use of N1’s greater WiFi bandwidth?

 

[psxp]

one last thing.. Apple's true innovation is long gone...

 

[thefredelement]

I'm hoping a new Mac Studio with M5 Ultra around WWDC 26, it will be an insta-order for me whenever it drops.

 

[jcwhalley]

I wonder what all those people at Apple are doing. Delay after delay. Poor product after poor product. TC needs to get his ship in order. I’ve Been an Apple user since the LC11, but it’s all wearing thin.

 

[MrENGLISH]

Tim's looking really old in this shot. That 48mp camera on the iPhone 17 Pro is really picking up the wrinkles on his face and neck

I've been holding off upgrading a lot of my devices for specific refreshes. AppleTV with ray-tracing, MBP with double the CPU cores of the M1 Max.

I'm also interested in purchasing an affordable 32" Studio Display with HDR and a more affordable AVP option - if or whenever Apple decides to make such options available.

 

[Unami]

Why on earth would they put two cameras in an iPad? They just put a larger square sensor like they did on the iPhone and digitally crop it

It makes more sense with the size of an ipad, to keep eyline and perspective. But still, I have never thought: “I wished my ipad pro had two selfie cameras for “pro” facetiming”. I’d rather pay for getting the second rear camera back.

 

[inlvnv]

Apple TV with Wi-Fi 7 would be a definite upgrade for me from Gen2.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

All I want are those MacBook Pro oled . Is there any chance they'll be real eased in 2026?
