The significant September event of Apple has concluded, and the latest iPhone 17 series is now in retail outlets.
As we near the conclusion of 2025, there remains plenty to delve into concerning upcoming Apple products—particularly those that weren’t highlighted at the prominent event.
Apple has numerous newly refreshed and enhanced devices on the horizon. Here’s what to anticipate from Apple by the end of this year, early 2026, and beyond.
iPads
Fresh iPads are anticipated soon and may be revealed by Apple as early as October.
Per Bloomberg‘s Apple expert Mark Gurman, the iPad Pro might be unveiled next month. The enhanced Pro tablet will upgrade from Apple’s M4 chip to the M5, representing the first iPad Pro enhancement since May of last year.
The iPad Air and entry-level models are also in line for upgrades, expected to debut in March or April of next year. The iPad Air will transition from the M3 chip to the M4. The new base model will likewise receive a more robust chip, likely a step up from the A16 chip that powered the iPhone 15.
AirTags 2
Prior to the 2025 Apple Event where the iPhone Air was presented, speculations hinted at a surprising announcement that could accompany it: the long-anticipated sequel to AirTags.
We foresee AirTags 2 maintaining a design similar to the original, despite no updates since their 2021 launch. (Apple, if you’re tuning in, please consider making the new version flat.) Expect at the very least a longer tracking distance and enhanced battery performance.
When might they be launched? The smart prediction remains a 2025 release date for AirTags 2.
iPhone 17e
We’ve seen the new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, the most recent budget model in the iPhone 17 lineup, the iPhone 17e, is yet to be announced.
The key enhancement here, similar to the iPads, will be its chipset. The iPhone 17e is likely to utilize the same A19 chip currently found in the iPhone 17 base model, an upgrade from the iPhone 16e’s A18 chip.
It seems Apple is transitioning to an annual release schedule for its budget iPhone. The iPhone 16e was launched earlier this year, and its predecessor, the third-generation iPhone SE, debuted in 2022. If an e version of the iPhone 17 is launched, anticipate it around February 2026.
AirPods Max
While the AirPods Pro 3 were announced at the latest Apple gathering, new AirPods Max don’t appear to be imminent but are on the way.
According to Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the AirPods Max 2 are set for a 2027 release. Not much is known regarding the enhancements, but they are expected to be Apple’s lightest headphones to date.
Apple TV
The existing Apple TV 4K model was introduced in 2022, so a new Apple TV device is indeed on the way.
According to reports, a new Apple TV might be announced by year’s end. This new iteration of Apple’s set-top TV box would <a href="https://mashable.com/article/apple-rumors-8-new-products-2025" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1
