Apple's annual September event is now in the rearview mirror, with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 3, and AirPods Pro 3 set to launch this Friday, September 19.
As always, there is more to come. In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple plans to release many products in the "coming months."
In late 2025 to early 2026, Gurman expects Apple to release 10 products, including an iPad Pro with an M5 chip "as early as October":
iPhone 17e: The successor to the iPhone 16e is expected to launch around March with the same A19 chip as in the iPhone 17.
MacBook Pro:Multiplesources, including Gurman, have indicated that MacBook Pro models with the M5 series of chips might not launch until early 2026, and it is unclear if any other Macs with M5 chips like an iMac or Mac mini would debut this year as a result. Perhaps we will see another MacBook Pro announcement in January.
MacBook Air: New models with the M5 chip are expected in the first quarter of 2026.
Studio Display: A new version of the Studio Display with mini-LED backlighting is expected to launch in late 2025 or early 2026. If no new Macs launch this year, then early 2026 is the more likely timeframe.
It is not yet known if Apple plans to host another special event this year, or if these products would be announced with press releases on the Apple Newsroom website only. If the M5 chip debuts in 2025, then it is likely that Apple would host an event, as the M1 chip through to the M4 chip were all unveiled during events.

Apple's first foldable iPhone, rumored for release next year, may turn out to be smaller than most people imagine, if a recent report is anything to go by. According to The Information, the outer display on the book-style device will measure just 5.3 inches – that's smaller than the 5.4-inch screen on the iPhone mini, a line Apple discontinued in 2022 due to poor sales. The report has led ...
I don’t think we’ll see a faster Apple TV or HomePod mini until they are ready to launch next gen Siri. Another product launch based on promises is legally dangerous for Apple. With rumors of Apple HomeKit products coming out as well, I feel those will also be included in a next gen Siri / Apple HomeKit mega event.
In terms of iPad Pro, the average cycle length is 495 days and today the iPad Pro m4 is 495 days old. So it’s right on time for an October refresh with m5.
I could honestly see an updated iPad Pro m5 in October and new air tags gen 2 as those have been rumored forever and we are seeing uwb 2 placed in even AirPods now. Plus, it makes sense to release them before the busy holiday travel season.
My guess is we won’t see new Mac’s, studio display, or Vision Pro until q1 next year.
