The rumor mill is slowly narrowing when it comes to upcoming Apple devices for 2025. More than a dozen new or revised products from the iPhone maker may hit the market this year. An overview of the next few months.

Spring (February to May)
The iPhone SE 4 is coming, Apple’s entry-level iPhone. In addition, the M4 generation of MacBook Air, the 11th generation of the standard iPad, and a new iPad Air (possibly similar to the M4) may appear.
The wildcard is Apple’s new “Home device,” which could be a new HomePod with a display. While it was initially said that the device was expected to arrive in the spring, rumor mills are now leaning towards summer or autumn.
Summer (WWDC in June)
Apple is likely planning new hardware for the WWDC 2025 developer conference, which will likely take place in June. Two workstations are still available here: the Mac Studio with M4 Max and M4 Ultra, and the Mac Pro with M4 Ultra. While the Max chip is already present, little is known yet about the M4 Ultra. An even faster Extreme Edition is probably not planned for the Mac Pro.
Autumn (September to October)
As usual, the new iPhones will be available in the fall. Rumors believe the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will come with new chips and photo improvements, with the iPhone 17 Air in particular being more exciting with a thinner housing. New AirTags with more precise positioning would be conceivable as accessories, but they may appear earlier. Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 can also be expected. There are new sensors for changes in blood pressure, messaging via satellite, and possibly 5G. A cheaper SE3 made of plastic is still considered possible. It can also be speculated that Apple will bring to market the third generation of AirPods Pro, possibly with heart rate measurement.
As for the iPad, new Pro models may debut alongside the new M5. The MacBook Pro M5 is also expected to arrive in the fall – just like the iPad Pro M5 in the fall. There probably won’t be a new iPad mini this year.
missing parts
This year’s “wildcards” include a new Apple TV 4K with Apple Intelligence (thanks to the A17 Pro or A18) and a HomePod mini 2 (made by Apple) with improved wireless technology. It remains to be seen if there will be a second Vision Pro this year with better internals (and hopefully a lower price). In terms of accessories, Apple may also update the iPad keyboard and screen (including studio displays like the Pro Display XDR), which have been long overdue for an upgrade.
