Apple’s September showcase may have wrapped with the new iPhone 17 family, but the company’s hardware pipeline is just getting started. According to a fresh report from Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, Apple is preparing as many as ten new products spanning 2025 to 2026. Expect updates across nearly every category: Macs, iPad Pro, Apple TV, a follow-up to Vision Pro, and new accessories aimed at deepening the ecosystem.
Here’s what’s reportedly on deck and why it matters.
A more powerful Apple TV with a built-in camera
A refreshed Apple TV is said to be in testing with the A17 Pro for snappier performance and support for Apple Intelligence. An N1 networking chip with Wi‑Fi 7 could be onboard for faster, more reliable streaming. Most intriguing is an integrated camera for native FaceTime on the big screen—no more relying on an iPhone as a Continuity Camera.
HomePod mini gets smarter sound and better connectivity
Apple’s compact smart speaker is tipped for an internal upgrade with a stronger chipset, improved wireless capabilities, and an updated Ultra Wideband chip for tighter integration with nearby devices. Expect audio refinements and possibly fresh colorways, while the exterior reportedly stays familiar.
AirTag 2 focuses on range, security, and reliability
The next AirTag is said to triple the tracking range, add a more tamper‑resistant speaker, and deliver clearer low‑battery alerts. The design may remain largely unchanged, but meaningful functional upgrades could set a new standard for item trackers.
M5 iPad Pro pushes performance and camera smarts
New iPad Pro models with the M5 chip are reportedly approaching, keeping the current industrial design but improving the internals. Highlights include dual front cameras optimized for video calls with more natural framing in portrait, Wi‑Fi 7, and a realigned Apple logo on the back. These models were previously delayed, but could arrive before M5 MacBook Pro units hit shelves.
Vision Pro 2 refines comfort and power
A second‑generation Vision Pro is rumored with a faster M4 or M5 chip, a redesigned head strap to address comfort feedback, and a Space Black finish to distinguish it from the first‑gen model. Pricing is expected to remain steady, with a lower‑cost variant still planned for the future.
iPhone 17e targets value with flagship silicon
Apple is reportedly preparing a more affordable iPhone 17e, potentially landing as early as March next year. Pricing is expected to mirror the 16e while upgrading to a new C‑series modem for better efficiency and the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17. A high‑refresh‑rate display remains uncertain.
M5 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air timelines shape up
The next MacBook wave is said to move to M5 on TSMC’s 3 nm process. MacBook Pro models will get higher‑tier M5 variants for pro‑level performance, while MacBook Air remains thin, light, and efficient. Expect familiar designs with minor tweaks. Current guidance points to early 2026 for MacBook Pro—possibly January—and spring for MacBook Air.
Studio Display goes mini‑LED
Apple’s Studio Display is reportedly moving to mini‑LED for deeper blacks, higher contrast, and increased brightness—bringing it closer to the visual quality of the MacBook Pro displays. An updated A‑series chip could enable smoother processing for features like Stage Manager and open the door to new display‑side capabilities.
Apple Home Hub aims to anchor the smart home
A long‑rumored Home Hub device is said to be nearing completion and could debut as soon as March. Designed as a central controller for smart home automation, it would serve as the always‑on anchor for Apple’s home ecosystem.
Why this matters now
Taken together, these moves signal a broad, aggressive hardware cycle. Apple is simultaneously managing momentum around the iPhone 17 lineup—including a new Air model that’s off to a strong start, with the exception of China where eSIM rules have hampered uptake—while lining up a packed release calendar that deepens integration across devices.
