Beyond the iPhone 17: 10 More Apple Products Expected in 2025
Apple's upcoming event, detailed here, will undoubtedly focus on the iPhone 17 series. However, whispers from the tech grapevine suggest a much broader product launch is in store for 2025. This article delves into ten additional Apple products rumored to be released this year, some potentially debuting alongside the iPhone 17, while others might follow later.
Wearables: The Next Generation of Apple Watch
Apple's wearable lineup is expected to see significant updates. Rumors point to substantial improvements across the Apple Watch Ultra, Series, and SE models.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Adventure Enhanced
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is rumored to receive several key upgrades. Expect a slightly larger display, providing enhanced readability. Under the hood, the powerful S11 chip promises smoother performance and improved responsiveness. Crucially, the Ultra 3 is anticipated to feature 5G support and enhanced satellite connectivity for sending and receiving text messages even without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Further rumored improvements include faster charging capabilities and a brighter, wider-angle OLED display, ensuring better visibility even at angles.
Apple Watch Series 11: Incremental Upgrades
Following last year's significant overhaul of the Apple Watch Series 10, the Series 11 is expected to focus on incremental improvements. The most prominent upgrade is likely to be the integration of the S11 chip. Beyond this, a noteworthy rumor suggests an unreleased “Sleep Score” feature, potentially exclusive to the Series 11 and possibly the Ultra 3, may be introduced via iOS 26.
Apple Watch SE 3: Catching Up
The Apple Watch SE, last updated in 2022, is overdue for an upgrade. The SE 3 is rumored to feature larger display sizes, bringing it closer to the functionality of its more expensive counterparts. The S11 chip is also expected here. While initial rumors suggested a bright-colored plastic case, those reports appear to be less certain.
Beyond the Wrist: iPad and Headset Advancements
Apple’s tablet and headset lines are also poised for advancements this year.
iPad Pro: Power and Productivity
The next iPad Pro is expected to be a powerhouse, powered by Apple's next-generation M5 chip, promising significant performance improvements. Adding to its capabilities, it's rumored to feature two front cameras, optimizing video conferencing for both portrait and landscape orientations.
Vision Pro: Refining the Reality
The Vision Pro headset is expected to receive a minor refresh. Reports suggest this update will involve significant internal upgrades, potentially including an M4 or even an M5 chip to improve performance. Furthermore, a redesigned head strap is anticipated, focusing on enhanced comfort during prolonged use.
Home Entertainment and Accessories
Apple is also expected to release several new home entertainment products and accessories.
Apple TV 4K (4th generation): A Boost in Performance
The next Apple TV 4K is poised to deliver enhanced performance thanks to the rumored inclusion of an A17 Pro chip. This upgrade promises faster processing speeds and smoother app performance. In addition, an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip with support for Wi-Fi 6E or even Wi-Fi 7 could greatly improve connectivity. The prospect of a built-in FaceTime camera has also been floated, though its inclusion in this iteration is uncertain.
HomePod mini (2nd generation): Enhanced Audio
The next HomePod mini is anticipated to incorporate a more advanced S9 chip or a newer model to power its smart features. Like the Apple TV 4K, it is also expected to integrate an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support. Improved audio quality is another highly anticipated feature.
AirTag (2nd generation): Enhanced Tracking
The next generation of AirTags promises significant improvements in tracking capabilities. Rumors suggest a potential threefold increase in tracking range compared to the current model. In addition to improved range, a more tamper-proof speaker and “very low” battery life alerts are anticipated, providing users with more proactive warnings.
AirPods Pro 3: Refined Audio Experience
Apple's AirPods Pro 3 is expected to feature a redesigned aesthetic, offering a more refined and comfortable fit. Improvements in noise cancellation are also anticipated, promising a more immersive audio experience. A particularly interesting rumor suggests the inclusion of heart rate monitoring capabilities, blurring the lines between earbuds and health trackers.
Studio Display 2: A Brighter Future
While slated for a later launch, potentially in late 2025 or early 2026, the Studio Display 2 is expected to feature mini-LED backlighting, offering a significant improvement in image quality and brightness.
The information above is based on current rumors and speculation. While these features are highly anticipated, it’s crucial to remember that these are merely predictions. Apple may choose to deviate from these reports. Stay tuned for official announcements from Apple for definitive confirmation of the release dates and specifications for these new products.
