Apple just concluded the much-anticipated launch of the iPhone 17 last week, but the company does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. 

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported Apple has at least 10 more product launches coming shortly, five of which are anticipated before the end of 2025. 

Apple's upcoming devices (expected)

Among the most anticipated devices is the iPad Pro M5 that will be powered by Apple's new M5 chip. Users can expect increases in performance and battery efficiencies on par with the capabilities of the iPhone 17's A19 Pro chip. 

There are rumours of an included second front-facing camera for portrait use as well as the new square selfie camera sensor pictured in the iPhone 17 series. 

Upgraded is an M5-powered variant of the Vision Pro headset. This refreshed version will come with all the same basic hardware design but will have faster performance; additionally, it could potentially launch in a new Space Black colourway with a redesigned strap. 

The closet refresh in the pipeline appears to be the much-anticipated AirTag 2 and the accompanying new U2 chip. This will provide AirTag users with an additional update to their tracking utility, encouraging further expeditions for their essentials.

Additionally, Apple TV and HomePod mini are expected to receive processor upgrades and Apple’s new in-house N1 networking chip. 

The Apple TV refresh will also include support for the upgraded Siri voice assistant and new Apple Intelligence features set to roll out next year.

Looking ahead to 2026, Apple fans can expect M5 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models, a refreshed external Mac display, and even a new iPhone 17e in spring.
