Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event wrapped up with exciting updates to its core lineup, but the buzz doesn’t stop there. As we look ahead from here, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has shared insights in his Power On newsletter about what’s reportedly coming next.
M5 iPad Pro
Apple is set to launch an M5-powered iPad Pro as early as October this year, marking one of the first devices with the next-gen chip. It promised faster performance and the return of a portrait-facing selfie camera alongside the landscape one for better video calls.
Updated Vision Pro
An updated Vision Pro was in the works with a new headband and quicker processor, but not a full sequel. Gurman mentioned a slimmer, lighter true follow-up targeted for 2027, so any near-term changes would focus on comfort and speed.
AirTag 2
The second-gen AirTag has been anticipated for its enhanced wireless chip, offering better range and easier tracking. If you’ve lost items before, this upgrade could make the Find My network even more reliable.
Apple TV
A refreshed Apple TV was rumored to include a faster processor, the N1 chip for improved Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread support, plus integration with the new Siri and Apple Intelligence features.
HomePod mini
Similar to the Apple TV, an updated HomePod mini was expected with a faster chip, better voice controls, and new color options to freshen up your smart home audio setup.
M5 MacBook Pro
M5 versions of the MacBook Pro might have shifted to an early 2026 release, breaking from the typical fall cycle. This follows Apple’s 2023 pattern and could bring boosted performance for pros.
M5 MacBook Air
Looking further out, M5 MacBook Air models are slated for the first quarter of 2026, keeping the ultra-portable design with enhanced efficiency.
Mac External Monitor
At least one new external monitor for Macs is on deck for late 2025 or early 2026, updating the lineup since the 2019 Pro Display XDR and 2022 Studio Display.
iPhone 17e
A quick successor to the iPhone 16e is rumored for the first half of next year, featuring the A19 chip to match the standard iPhone 17’s power in a more affordable package.
Smart Home Hub
Apple’s entry into a new category—a smart home hub—was originally planned for March but pushed to spring 2026. It would include next-gen Siri for seamless control of your connected devices.
