Beyond iPhone 17: Apple Rumored to Launch 6 More Products in 2025

[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, and Apple Watch SE 3 all set to launch on Friday, September 19.

Apple is not finished on the year, though, with rumors claiming that the company might release up to six more products before 2025 ends.

Here are the rumored products — many of which are likely to be announced in October:

• Apple TV: A faster A17 Pro chip that will support next year's revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, and an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 6E or 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.
• HomePod mini: S9 chip or newer with support for next year's revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support, improved sound quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, 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.
• Studio Display 2: A new version of the Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting is expected to launch in late 2025 or early 2026.

Multiple reports 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. If new Macs are not arriving until next year, the Studio Display might not be updated until 2026 too.

It is not yet known if Apple plans to host another event this year, or if these products would be announced with press releases on the Apple Newsroom website only.

Of course. Apple almost always follows up the September event with an October (or November) event where they show new Macs or iPads.

 

[Anaxarxes]

Can't wait for the studio display - Bring it on!

 

[abatabia]

All spec bumps. The only thing that would entice me to a new HomePod mini would be if they support Dolby Atmos and could pair with full size HomePods for full surround.

 

[PHXHow?]

I will trade up to a new iPad Pro even thought I have last year's model because it has been a frustrating experience being a left handed person where the new side camera is usually blocked by my grip when doing Face ID.

They will probably do the "week of new products" like last year & I liked the way they pulled it off.

While you are obviously right, 5 out of 6 of the rumored products in the list are not Macs or iPads.

Apple TV please. If that happens, then I will be happy with the two new things I needed. AirPods Pro 3 and an Apple TV upgrade.

 

[Scipster]

Hard to believe Apple will unveil a next gen M5 with a mere press release… have they done this before with the M series chips?

 

[Ctrlos]

A buffed TV needs Apple to offer some sort of background software that lets you run any iOS game with controller compatibility. This would immediately expand the library whilst then giving devs a chance to optimise for TV display.

I'm really not liking this trend of introducing new Mac chips through an iPad...

Hard to know what will come. I think the "Scary fast" unveiling of the M3 MBPs was only a half hour event, so I guess it could be a short event for this lot to detail the M5 in the iPad.

Explain why ?

 

[tyranne201]

HomePod has never been launched in Brazil. I really hope that changes.

 

[Astuces iOS]

Apple TV : yeah good if you don't have one or have an old old one

HomePod mini : Always good

AirTag 2 : Always good

iPad Pro M5 : Meh

Vision Pro : Are you rich? Even if don't buy

Studio Display 2 : Good for pros

WHY?

 

[Shin-Ra]

and an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support.

I hope Apple didn’t feel the need to design a lower-end wireless networking chip than N1.

Apple N1 wireless networking chip

• Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) with 2x2 MIMO
• Bluetooth 6
• Thread networking technology

I wonder if the 2 landscape+portrait FaceTime cameras rumour was true or just confusion about the 1:1 aspect 18MP Center Stage camera introduced in iPhone 17.

 

[guci0]

Studio Display 2 – I'll believe it when I see

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Apple TV : yeah good if you don't have one or have an old old one

HomePod mini : Always good

AirTag 2 : Always good

iPad Pro M5 : Meh

Vision Pro : Are you rich? Even if don't buy

Studio Display 2 : Good for pros

Perfect summarisation

Are you Apple Intelligence?


Joking haha

Anyone else come here for reactions to Apple's decisions and not for the so-called "rumors"? The rumors aspect of this site seems much more heavily saturated with speculation in recent years.

 

[Plutonius]

If people wait long enough, most of the predictions will happen .

Isn’t the name of this site ‘MacRumors’?

 

[Agent007]

WHY?

 

[ttyRazor]

I’m having a hard time imagining what an M4 or M5 Vision Pro that doesn’t change anything else would be useful for. Any features taking advantage of it would be leaving out the existing install base, so they’d have to be inessential nice-to-haves that wouldn’t be worth upgrading for and wouldn’t address the shortcomings keeping new users away.

Edit: I guess some sort of enterprise usage that seems to have caught on? Could be there’s some applications on that front that could take advantage of it, but I have a hard time imagining anything on the consumer side that would target a fraction of an already small user base and not piss existing users off.

 

[ZeromusZeromus]

Finally! The only reason I didn’t drop $3500 yet is the Vision Pro didn’t come in Space Black.
