As 2025 heads into its final stretch, Apple still has a full slate of product releases planned. Alongside iOS 26, more than 15 new devices are expected to hit the market before year’s end. Let’s break down what’s on the way.
The iPhone 17 Lineup and a New “Air”
Apple’s iPhone 17 family is shaping up to be its most exciting in years. Notably, the iPhone Plus is out. In its place comes the brand-new iPhone Air, signaling a bold shift. Furthermore, the Pro Max may be rebranded as the first-ever iPhone Ultra.
-
iPhone 17: Larger display, improved selfie camera, and more.
-
iPhone 17 Air: Radically thin, futuristic look but some compromises.
-
iPhone 17 Pro: Upgraded camera system, memory, and A19 Pro chip.
-
iPhone 17 Pro Max: Thicker for even more battery than ever.
This year’s updates aim to blend innovation with performance. As a result, Apple appears focused on meaningful changes rather than minor improvements.
Macs, iPads, and Wearables See Major Upgrades
Apple’s M5 chip is central to many of this fall’s launches. While some products are mere spec bumps, others are clear steps forward. The new MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and even a potential new Mac Pro will all benefit from this silicon boost.
-
M5 MacBook Pro: Same basic design, but with M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max configs.
-
M5 iPad Pro: M5 chip and optimized for iPadOS 26’s multitasking upgrades.
-
New Mac Pro: M3 Ultra like this year’s Mac Studio, and slim chance of a redesigned case.
Apple Watches are also in for a big leap. Features like satellite support and hypertension tracking may finally arrive. And while the new AirPods Pro could be pushed into 2026, the updates look promising.
-
Apple Watch Ultra 3: 5G RedCap, hypertension sensors, satellite features.
-
Apple Watch Series 11: Same design, high blood pressure detection.
-
Apple Watch SE 3: Updated S-class chip, more modern than existing SE.
-
AirPods Pro 3: Upgraded noise cancellation, new H3 processor, might slip into 2026.
By introducing health-oriented upgrades and next-gen connectivity, Apple is doubling down on wearables in a big way.
Home Devices and Other Noteworthy Releases
Despite delays in Siri upgrades, Apple still plans to push ahead in the smart home space. Two new home-focused devices are on track, and possibly a third.
-
New Apple TV 4K: Likely Apple Intelligence capable, with upgraded A-class chip.
-
HomePod mini 2: New Wi-Fi modem, enhanced compatibility with other Home products.
-
‘HomePad’: Smart home command center running homeOS, timing is TBD.
Outside of these core categories, Apple is also set to roll out some minor but meaningful revisions. These products may not be headline-makers, yet they still contribute to the overall ecosystem.
-
AirTag 2: New Ultra Wideband chip with improved range, plus stronger privacy features.
-
M5 Vision Pro: Likely just a spec bump with the new M5 chip and minimal other changes.
-
Studio Display 2: Same 27-inch size, but with MiniLED technology and likely camera improvements.
And there’s one more possible launch though still uncertain. A second-generation Pro Display XDR may debut alongside the new Mac Pro. If that happens, it will mark the first update to the line since its original release.
With such a broad mix of products, from everyday devices to niche tools, Apple appears poised for a hardware-heavy close to 2025. Whether you’re eyeing a new iPhone or curious about Apple’s smart home vision, there’s something here for nearly everyone.
