Apple just wrapped up its iPhone 17 launch event last week.While that was a jam-packed (and incredibly fast-paced) keynote, the company still has another 10 product launches in the short term, with half of them launching by the end of the year.Remaining 2025 launches There were a number of product launches anticipated at this year’s September keynote that didn’t quite come to fruition.
Those products should still launch by the end of the year though, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman – with some of them coming as early as next month.M5 iPad Pro First things first is an iPad Pro refresh with Apple’s new M5 chip.With M5, you should expect many of the same efficiency gains seen in A19 Pro, just at a higher scale.
The new iPad Pro should also come with a second front-facing camera, this one in portrait orientation.It’s possible we’ll see iPhone 17’s new square selfie camera sensor make an appearance on this iPad Pro, though that’s just my personal speculation.M5 Vision Pro There isn’t much to write about here.
Apple is working on a refreshed version of its Vision Pro headset, bringing it up to speed with the M5 chipset – up from its current M2 chipset.Nothing about the hardware should be changing, so don’t expect anything lighter – though it might come with a new strap out of the box, and it could debut in Space Black.AirTag 2 This product has been rumored for quite a long time, but Apple is working on an updated version of its popular item tracker with the U2 chip.
We actually just saw the U2 chip debut in AirPods Pro 3, and it should similarly bring enhanced precision finding functionality to AirTag.Apple TV & HomePod mini Moving over to Apple’s smart home products, both of these should be receiving a refresh with a new processor and Apple’s new in-house N1 networking chip, announced at the iPhone 17 event.Apple TV also “add support for the new Siri voice assistant and other Apple Intelligence features coming next year”, per Gurman.
We may see some new colors for HomePod mini, too.What’s coming in early 2026 Leaving 2025, there’ll be a couple announcements in the first few months of 2026, with a couple coming in early months (say January or February), and the latter coming towards the spring time.M5 MacBook Pro While this is traditionally an October release, Apple is going to take a bit of additional time with the MacBook Pro refresh this time around.
It won’t be the major overhaul with OLED and a thinner design that you might’ve heard about – you’ll have to wait until late 2026 for that.Instead, expect the same design language with faster silicon.M5 MacBook Pro should launch fairly early in 2026.
M5 MacBook Air Similar to the MacBook Pro, don’t expect much more than a chip bump.MacBook Air should receive M5 within the first quarter of 2026.As mentioned earlier, you should see many of the A19 Pro enhancements unveiled last week, just scaled up for a more powerful chip.
New Mac Display While Apple is working on two new external monitors, only one of them is on the horizon according to Gurman.We should see an updated version of either the Studio Display or Pro Display XDR in the coming months.Both versions of the new monitor are seemingly 27-inch display sizes, so they’re more likely to be successors to the Studio Display.
iPhone 17e After debuting iPhone 16e earlier this year, many had questioned whether or not it’ll be an annual refresh.It’s looking like that’ll be the case.Next Spring, expect a new version of the iPhone 16e with a faster A19 chipset and other modest enhancements.
Smart Home Hub Last but not least, Apple should finally debut its long awaited Siri hub within the first few months of 2026.This product was on track to launch last year, but it relied heavily on Apple Intelligence Siri coming to fruition, and well, we all know how that went.Either way, once the company is able to ship its rebuilt Siri with iOS 26.4, expect this new product category to follow shortly afterwards.
Wrap up Overall, the next ~6 months should be jam-packed with additional Apple hardware, with many of the products being long-awaited refreshes to outdated products! It’s certainly an exciting stretch to look forward to.What do you think of these upcoming Apple refreshes? Are you in the market for any of them?
