It’s hardly been a few weeks since Apple introduced its latest range of products, and the good humans who call themselves ‘Apple pundits’ are already talking about the new set of rumoured Apple products that’ll be launched between late 2025 and early 2026. We are where the trend is, so without further ado, let’s take a look at what other launches Apple has up its sleeves.
Apple TV: Starting off with the next Apple TV, which is expected to feature a faster A17 Pro chip to support next year’s upgraded Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, along with Apple’s upcoming N1 chip offering Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. Rumors also suggest a built-in FaceTime camera could be in the works, though it’s uncertain whether that will debut with the upcoming model. Watching your favourite sports team in red make your weekends even more miserable will be even more fun now!
HomePod mini: Next up is the HomePod mini, something we are actually looking forward to. It is expected to feature an S9 chip or newer with support for next year’s upgraded Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, Apple’s N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7, improved audio quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip for enhanced proximity functions, and possibly new color options as well.
iPad Pro: The big slab, which now comes with a calculator, is rumored to include an M5 chip and dual front-facing cameras, enabling better photos and video calls in both portrait and landscape modes. I mean, Phil Dunphy must be in line for it! Right?
Vision Pro: The folks here in India are still waiting for the first generation, and rumours are floating around that the second gen is coming soon. Not that we would buy it, but we’d like to have the option. Apple might update the VisionPro with a faster M4 or M5 chip, a redesigned head strap for improved comfort, and potentially a Space Black finish.
iPhone 17e: Out of all the rumoured Apple products, this is something that I am really, really interested in. Like really, really! Want to know why? Once this is released, I can then consider getting the iPhone 16e. Personal reasons aside, it is expected to launch around March, featuring the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17.
MacBook Pro: As per recent reports, models powered by the M5 chip series may not arrive until early 2026. If that’s the case, a new MacBook Pro announcement could take place in January, while other Macs, such as the iMac or Mac mini, may also be delayed.
So, there you have it, the buffet of the rumoured Apple products being served hot and fresh. Some of these sound exciting, some feel like déjà vu, and a few might never see the light of day (looking at you, FaceTime-on-TV). But that’s the charm of Apple speculation, isn’t it? Half the fun lies in imagining what might drop next, while the other half is debating whether we even need it. Either way, late 2025 and early 2026 are shaping up to be packed with Apple surprises. Until then, let’s just enjoy what we already have. iPhone Air, anyone?
