Apple is gearing up for a blockbuster year, with a packed product roadmap that spans nearly every category in its lineup. From an iPhone redesign to upgrades for the Mac, iPad and Apple Watch families, the next twelve months promise a steady stream of hardware refreshes, software milestones and perhaps a few surprises.
Whether you’re a casual user or a die-hard fan, here’s a look at every major Apple product expected between now and next summer.
New Apple products in 2025 and 2026
Apple tries to keep a lid on details of its upcoming products. It’s even suing someone who leaked details about iOS 26 before the announcement. But there’s simply too much demand for information about future iPhones, Macs and more for Apple to keep everything secret.
The result: we can lay out a roadmap of virtually everything coming out of Cupertino over the next year. And that includes Apple TV, AirPods and more.
New Apple products in autumn 2025
The excitement starts in September with the iPhone 17 series. With these four models just a couple of months away, we already have a fairly complete picture of them — most of the specs have leaked out already. In addition to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, plus the iPhone 17 itself, a highlight will be the iPhone 17 Air, the first in a new super-slim product line.
The same September event is also likely to bring Apple Watch Ultra 3 — an upgraded version of the premium smartwatch with satellite messaging and blood-pressure monitoring. Plus, expect Apple Watch Series 11 with minor tweaks at the same time. And the wraps should come off the long-awaited Apple Watch SE 3, too — the last new version was three years ago. It might come in a colorful new plastic case, or it might not.
Multiple sources point to the 2025 iPad Pro coming later this fall — probably October. The signature feature of the next tablet is the Apple M5 processor. And it will supposedly be the first product of any kind to get the new chip. In addition, rumor says the 2025 iPad Pro will include two front-facing cameras for a good reason.
One might expect the honor of being the first computer with a new Apple processor family to go to MacBook Pro models, but the next upgrade of these high-end notebooks has allegedly been pushed back to early 2026.
At some point in the autumn, a speed-bumped version of the Vision Pro headset is also reportedly coming out of Cupertino. A faster processor and a more comfortable strap are the big changes.
Also allegedly on Apple’s late 2025 agenda is a launch for the AirTag 2 tracker tag with longer range. An updated Apple TV 4K is supposedly coming as well.
And that closes out 2025.

If rumor is correct, a highlight of next winter will be MacBook Pro models refreshed with the M5, M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. That said, it’s also possible the speedier model will launch in autumn. Whether the launch is in late 2025 or early 2026, don’t expect a redesign. That’s supposedly on Apple’s calendar for late 2026 when the M6 version is the first Apple notebook with an OLED display and a fresh design for the outer casing.
A safe bet is that the more affordable MacBook Air will get its M5 chip in winter 2026. Again, no other changes are anticipated aside from the faster chip.
When the weather gets warmer, spring of next year should bring the iPhone 17e, the second generation of Apple’s new mid-range handset line. It’ll likely get upgraded to an Apple A19 processor but no other major changes.
An upgraded iPad Air is also reportedly coming in spring 2026 — probably with an M4 processor as the only change — along with a spec-bumped budget iPad. These will replace the current tablets that debuted in spring of this year.

Experts agree that AirPods Pro 3 will hit the market in 2026. However, there’s no word on exactly when — we can only hope for the first half of the year. Heart-rate monitoring should be a highlight of Apple’s next-generation wireless earbuds.
Also coming from Cupertino at some point in 2026 is a push from Apple into smarthome products. Rumors point to a wall-mounted iPad-like computer as a home hub, but its launch won‘t come before an AI-enhanced version of the Siri voice assistant, and there’s no definite release date for that struggling project.
That’s all the new Apple products expected/possible out of Cupertino in the next twelve months. Of course, autumn 2026 starts the Apple product refresh process all over again with the iPhone 18 series — including the much-rumored folding iPhone — plus M6-powered MacBooks and more.
