Macworld

Over the past few years, Apple has overhauled its entire product range, including transitioning the Mac from Intel to its own processors, introducing the tough Apple Watch Ultra, adding a new Plus model to the iPhone lineup, and introducing a brand-new product category – the Vision Pro headset. 

In this article, we take a look at what new products we expect Apple to launch throughout 2025 and beyond. We have investigated every rumor and trend we could find to bring you our predictions. Read on to find out what could be in store.

New Apple products that launched in 2024

Before we begin with the predictions, here’s a look at what has launched in 2024.

Apple released the following new products in 2024:

The Vision Pro headset arrived in the U.S. on February 2.

The M3 MacBook Air launched on March 4.

The M2 iPad Air, the M4 iPad Pro, and the Apple Pencil Pro all launched on May 7.

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus launched on September 9.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max launched on September 9.

Apple Watch Series 10 launched on September 9.

AirPods 4 launched on September 9 and new colors (and USB-C) for the AirPods Max were introduced.

iPad mini A17 Pro launched on October 15.

Apple launched the M4 iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro the week of October 28.

Now that the M3 has been supplanted by the M4, we’ll have to wait for the MacBook Air, Mac Studio and Mac Pro to get their updates in 2025. With 2024 wrapped up, what else is coming in 2025?

In the sections below we’ve split products into categories including Mac, iPad, iPhone, and some new product categories. Read on to find out what to expect at Apple next event, throughout the rest of the year, and in 2025.

Apple

New Macs

Now that the first M4 Macs have arrived, our attention turns to the models that still have M3 processors, and in some cases the M2. It looks like Apple will update the rest of its Macs with M4 chips in 2025. Here’s when you can expect the remaining Mac models to make the switch:

M4 MacBook Air

Apple’s popular laptop is expected to get an M4 chip in spring 2025. However, Apple did update the current base models with 8GB of RAM to 16GB of RAM in late October with the arrival of the M4 MacBook Pro. You can also expect a new FaceTime Center Stage camera, but, other than that, the update is expected to be little more than a chip refresh. Read: MacBook Air M4 rumors

When? Spring 2025

M4 Mac Studio

The Mac Studio will bypass the M3 chip and jump straight to the M4 Max and M4 Ultra, making customers wait about two years between updates.

It’s unclear what else Apple has planned for the Mac Studio than a new chip, we don’t expect that it will follow the Mac mini in the reduction in size seen in October. Read: M4 Mac Studio rumors.

When? June 2025

M4 Mac Pro

If the Mac Studio is getting an update with the M4 Max and M4 Ultra you can rest assured that the Mac Pro will too, likely in spring 2025.

Apple didn’t change the design of the Mac Pro when it got its first Apple silicon update and is the only Mac that still has the old design following the M4 Mac mini overhaul. We don’t expect Apple to change anything with the M4 update in 2025. Read: M4 Mac Pro rumors.

When? June 2025

iMac Pro

The M4 iMac delivered some new color hues, but it still has a 24-inch screen. Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac way back in 2022 when the Studio Display arrived, and there have been rumors ever since that Apple is working on a new large-screen iMac.

Apple is said to be working on a new “Pro” version of the iMac, a return of the 27-inch iMac Pro perhaps, or even larger. There are enough rumors to believe that Apple is indeed working on such an iMac, though it’s unclear whether it will arrive in 2025 or later. Read: Larger iMac Pro rumors.

When? Maybe October 2025

New iPads

The iPad Pro

No iPads were updated in 2023 – the first time a year passed without an iPad update. Almost the whole range got a refresh in 2024, with the new iPad Air and iPad Pro in May and the iPad mini in October. But there’s still one model remaining:

11th-gen iPad

The 10th gen iPad joined the lineup in October 2022 so a new model is somewhat overdue. As such, the 10th-gen iPad is the only model that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, so the next update will likely give it the same A17 Pro chip used by the 2024 iPad mini. Read about the 11th-gen iPad.

When? March 2025

New iPhones

A new set of iPhones arrived at Apple’s 2024 iPhone event on September 9, but what of the iPhone SE?

iPhone SE

There have been a few rumors about the iPhone SE. It’s thought that the new iPhone SE could support Apple Intelligence, which means we will see a processor jump that takes it beyond the iPhone 14 and 15 models still on sale (and may mean that it supplants them). It may also be the first iPhone to ship with a modem made by Apple, which could help keep costs down, and a supposed leak also revealed a notch, Face ID and a bigger screen: read about the iPhone SE Plus.

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a bigger version of the iPhone SE. The question is, will it still feature the Home button?

Read: iPhone SE rumors.

When? Spring 2025

iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 won’t arrive until September 2025, but there are already rumors about them. Apple is expected to introduce a new model, the iPhone 17 Air, that brings a fresh design and new features.

Read: iPhone 17 rumors

When? September 2025

New AirPods

The AirPods Max and AirPods Pro have had the odd update since they launched a few years ago, but the next generation has yet to materialize. Will they get a full update in 2025?

The wait for new AirPods Pro could stretch beyond 2025. They could offer new health-related features when they arrive. As for the AirPods Max, now that Apple’s refreshed the colors it’s unlikely to do anything else for a while.

When? September 2025

New Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Series 10 arrived in September 2024, with a larger screen, but there was no generational update for the Apple Watch Ultra or the Apple Watch SE. Apple will surely release a new Apple Watch in 2025 along with new Apple Watch Ultra and SE models. Some reports say Apple could move the Apple Watch SE launch to spring. The Apple Watch Ultra may gain the ability to send emergency texts via satellite. We could also see blood pressure monitoring on the new Watches in 2025.

When? September 2025 (and possibly March 2025 for the SE)

New product categories

If Apple was never to innovate away from the products it makes right now it could be left behind as technology progresses. It’s no surprise therefore that the company is working on various new areas. We don’t expect these to land in 2025, but rumors suggest that some of them still could arrive sooner rather than later.

HomePod with screen

A HomePod that combines the screen of an iPad could be on the cards.

Foundry

We do hope there is some truth in the rumors that Apple is working on a HomePod with a screen. We’ve always said that a screen would make the HomePod infinitely more usable, but perhaps we are the only ones who hate having to talk to our speaker and control the HomePod via an iPhone (which can be a drain on the battery).

A screen would extend the uses of the HomePod beyond audio into visual – so you could watch podcasts and news reports and YouTube videos, but most usefully communicate via FaceTime.

So far all Apple has done is brought back the full-size HomePod that it removed from sale.

When? 2025

Cheaper Vision Pro

The Vision Pro is pricy and a little cumbersome, but Apple is said to be at work on two updated models: a cheaper Vision Pro, and another high-end model. Perhaps “Vision Pro 2” and “Vision Air?”

There could be four new AR/VR products coming in 2025, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. These could include a cheaper Vision Pro model (at $2,000).

When? 2025 or later

Apple Car

If you were hoping for a physical Apple Car prepare to be disappointed. Apple has cancelled the Apple Car project after about a decade of development. But this doesn’t mean there is no future for Apple’s car-related research.

A second major iteration of CarPlay could takes things beyond maps and music to the next level, giving users complete control over things like climate control inside the car. Apple apparently wants to revolutionize the vehicle user interface and make it more user-friendly, convenient and functional.

What Apple released in 2023

Apple hit the ground running in 2023 with new Macs and a new HomePod in January. Then at WWDC in June the company launched no less than three new Macs and a brand new device – the Vision Pro – alongside revealing its plans for macOS 14 Sonoma, iOS 17 and watchOS 10. Finally (maybe) Apple launched the new iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 at an event in September and then made macOS Sonoma and iOS 17 available for customers to download later that month. Then at an Apple event on October 30 the company unveiled new MacBook Pro and iMac models.
