Upcoming Apple Products
In the following sections, we will categorize upcoming products, covering areas such as Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Home, AirPods, and new product categories. Stay tuned to find out what we can expect at Apple’s future events and throughout 2025.
New iPads in 2025
A refresh for the iPad Pro appears to be imminent. Although Apple does not adhere to an annual update schedule for its iPads, indications suggest that enhancements for the iPad Pro are on the horizon. Expected features include the M5 chip and increased RAM, with potential for wireless MagSafe charging. This update is anticipated for October 2025. Looking ahead to 2026, rumors indicate that the next iPad might feature the A18 chip, enabling support for Apple Intelligence, while the iPad mini could receive the A19 Pro chip, which is also found in the iPhone 17 Pro.
New Macs in 2025
The Mac Pro has been overdue for an update. With the M4 Macs now available, Apple is set to introduce the M5 chip for the MacBook Pro. However, the Mac Pro is still waiting for its M4 upgrade. The new MacBook Pro will feature M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips, expected to launch in October 2025. As for the Mac Pro, it may come equipped with an M4 Ultra or M4 Extreme chip boasting an enhanced Neural Engine for superior AI functionality and support for Thunderbolt 5, scheduled for release in late 2025. Looking into 2026, the M5 MacBook Air is anticipated to receive only a processor update, while the Mac Studio may receive an M4 Ultra upgrade. Furthermore, there are hints that a new “Pro” version of the iMac, potentially a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro, is in the works.
Apple Home Products Coming in 2025/2026
Apple is committed to innovation beyond its current product offerings to stay relevant in the evolving tech landscape. While many of these innovations may not arrive in 2025, there are rumors suggesting some products could debut sooner. A HomePod with a screen could enhance usability significantly, with a launch expected in late 2025 or 2026. An updated Apple TV is also in the pipeline, incorporating Apple Intelligence for a smarter user experience. Additionally, the HomeHub is rumored to be in development, featuring products like a smart display akin to an iPad that can control home devices via HomeOS software, as well as a robot camera that can follow users around their homes, potentially arriving late 2025 or 2026.
New iPhones in 2026
What’s next for Apple’s iPhone lineup? The iPhone 17e is projected for early 2026, following the launch of the iPhone 16e in February 2025, which means the update is unlikely to come until it reaches the one-year mark. The iPhone 18 Pro may debut in September 2026, though there are reports suggesting that the release of the iPhone 18 could be postponed until spring 2027, potentially alongside the iPhone 18e. Additionally, a folding iPhone may be on the horizon for 2026.
New Apple Watch in 2026
Apple is expected to unveil new Apple Watch models in September 2026. The previous lineup was refreshed in September 2025, introducing the Apple Watch Series 11, a new Apple Watch Ultra, and an updated Apple Watch SE. In 2026, it is likely that only the Apple Watch Series will see updates.
New AirPods in 2026
It has been some time since Apple provided a substantial update to the AirPods Pro. While the AirPods Max have seen minor updates since their launch, a new generation of AirPods is anticipated for 2026.
Other Apple Products on the Horizon
Several Apple projects seem unlikely to materialize in the near future. The much-anticipated Apple Car has been officially canceled after a decade of development. However, this does not signify the end of Apple’s automotive aspirations, as updates to CarPlay could enhance functionality, extending beyond navigation and music to provide comprehensive control over vehicle features like climate settings.
