A fresh leak has given us a look at Apple’s release calendar for the next 12 months—and it’s jam-packed. Starting in just a few weeks, the company plans to launch more than a dozen new products before the end of 2025, with nearly everything in its catalog getting a refresh.
Here’s a look at Apple’s plans based on the rumors so far:
February
- MacBook Air: A minor refresh to the 13-inch and 15-inch models with an M4 chip and FaceTime camera.
March
- iPhone SE: A major overhaul with a design based on the iPhone 14, an OLED display, and an A18 chip with Apple Intelligence support.
- iPad 11: Apple’s entry-level tablet gets a new chip and 8GB of RAM to allow it to run Apple Intelligence.
- iPad Air: Likely a simple spec bump that jumps the mid-range tablet straight to the M4.
June
- Mac Studio: An overdue update to Apple’s mid-range desktop with M4 Max and M4 Ultra processors and Thunderbolt 5.
- Mac Pro: We’d love to see the rumors of a smaller design come to fruition, but it will likely just get an upgrade to the M4 Ultra.
- Studio Display: The design will likely stay the same but bring mini-LED backlighting and camera enhancements.
- Pro Display XDR: Apple’s high-end monitor is due for an update to 120Hz ProMotion, possibly with Spatial Audio and a FaceTime camera as well.
September
- iPhone 17: The iPhone will get a new design for the first time in years. This includes a new iPhone 17 Air model, which will be substantially thinner than the others.
- Apple Watch Series 11: The new Apple Watch isn’t expected to deviate much from the design of the previous model but it could gain high blood pressure detection.
- Apple Watch Ultra 3: The 3rd-gen Apple Watch Ultra will also have a similar design but will gain satellite connectivity and 5G RedCap network access.
- Apple Watch SE 3: Apple’s cheaper watch will get a new look geared toward kids.
- AirPods Pro 3: Apple’s high-end earbuds are due to get an update with a new shorter-stem design, H3 chip, and additional health features.
October
- Smart home hub: A brand-new device with an iPad-like display that can hang on a wall or rest on a counter.
- HomePod mini 2: An update to the 2020 model with a new chip and smart home functionality.
- Apple TV 4K 4: Apple’s set-top will get a new chip and a renewed smart home focus.
November
- MacBook Pro: Don’t expect much more than a bump to the M5 chip.
- iPad Pro: Same as the MacBook Pro, expect an M5 processor and little else.
- AirTag 2: Updated UWB chip and additional privacy protections.
That’s a huge list, but you’ll notice one major product conspicuously absent: Vision Pro. While Apple’s headset was announced in 2023 and released in 2024, it’s not expected to get an update until later in 2026. The lower-cost model everyone is waiting for, meanwhile, might not arrive until 2027. And the glasses? Well, let’s just say you shouldn’t hold your breath.
Otherwise, the only products not expected to get an update are the AirPods 4 and AirPods Max, iPad mini, iMac, and Mac mini, all of which were just updated in the fall.
Apple is expected to hold its first event in March or April to announce the redesigned iPhone SE and 11th-gen iPad.
