What comes next for the iPad and Vision Pro?
Apple is not going to take a break after its recent iPhone 17 and iPhone Air event. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, there will be significant improvements to Apple’s laptops in 2026. Gurman has compiled a number of reports and information from his own sources within Apple to identify new iPads, Apple TVs, and even AirTags.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg says that more devices will be released in the next few months, starting with the iPad Pro M5. The new iPad is expected to come out before the end of 2025. It will have the powerful M5 chip and a second front-facing camera that is meant for taking portraits, as per a report by T3.
The Vision Pro headset will also get a new version. It was thought that it would come out in early 2026, but now reports say it could come out sooner. It will have the same M5 processor as the new iPad Pro.
Aside from the new chip, the updated Vision Pro won’t have any major design changes. However, the jump from the current M2 is still seen as a big step forward, as per a report by T3.
When will the Apple TV and HomePod minis come out?
Apple is also getting ready to make changes to its smart home and entertainment systems. By the end of 2025, we should see both the new Apple TV and the new HomePod mini. These gadgets probably have faster processors and Apple’s new N1 networking chip.
There are also rumors that the Apple TV box will get better support for Apple Intelligence, making it a better place to find smart features and entertainment, as per a report by T3.
What will happen to MacBooks in 2026?
People who like MacBooks might have to wait a little longer. Apple usually updates its MacBook Pros in the fall, but the M5 MacBook Pro is now expected to come out in early 2026. This version won’t be the long-awaited Air-style redesign with an OLED display; that’s still planned for later in 2026. Instead, it will be a speed bump that focuses on performance.
The MacBook Air is also on Apple’s early 2026 roadmap, and it will have the M5 chip as well. In addition to laptops, the company is expected to release a new Studio Display or Pro Display XDR in 2026, as well as a smart home hub that works with iPads. Reports say that Apple might also release the iPhone 17e, a cheaper version of the iPhone that will compete with cheap Androids, as per a report by T3.
Apple’s calendar for 2025 and 2026 is shaping up to be one of its busiest yet, with so many products in the works.
