Now that Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event is out of the way, revealing the all-new iPhone 17 lineup, the super-thin iPhone Air, upgraded AirPods Pro 3 and the Apple Watch 11, it’s now time to look forward to the Cupertino tech giant’s next slate of products — and it’s expected to kick off with the M5 iPad Pro.
Rumors of Apple revealing its next iPad Pro with an M5 chip this fall are swirling, suggesting that a major Apple October event is in store. While this could mean that its next M5 MacBook Pro will also be announced, other products may be stealing the spotlight instead.
According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is set to release 10 new products from late 2025 to early 2026. And it’s looking to all start “as early as October” with the M5 iPad Pro, while the next MacBook Pro lineup may not launch until early 2026.

But what else can we expect? Here’s what Apple is tipped to have coming over the next few months.
iPad Pro M5 looks to arrive first

If you were planning on buying a new iPad, it’s best to keep it out of your basket for a little longer. As Gurman claims, Apple looks to finally reveal its anticipated M5 iPad Pro next month, introducing a new cycle of M-series chips.
This has been rumored since last year, and is further backed up by Apple’s M5 chip reportedly entering mass production in February, and display production starting in June. Considering the iPad Pro M4 was the first product to reveal the M4 chip, it’s likely Apple will be following suit with its latest M5-series chip.
Whether this will be revealed at an October launch event, as with the M3 MacBook Pro launch in 2023, or through press releases, is anyone’s guess, but there are plenty of other products the Cupertino company may have up its sleeves to greenlight a special event this fall.

The next iPad Pro is tipped to come with the M5 chip upgrade, which may be built on a smaller 2-nanometer process for faster performance and better power efficiency. Plus, it’s expected to come with 16GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7 support and a new dual front-facing camera system — if rumors are accurate.
While the design is largely expected to stay the same, it’s the boost in performance that’s set to be the key feature of the M5 iPad Pro. If it does release in October, it won’t be much longer until we see the full picture of Apple’s next high-end tablet.
M5 MacBooks coming later

As noted by Gurman and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), the M5 MacBook Pro models may not launch in 2025 after all. Now, it’s looking like an early 2026 reveal, meaning the next-gen laptops could skip a fall launch entirely.

That said, a MacBook lineup leak earlier this year showed that they could arrive by the end of 2025 after all, so it’s still uncertain. However, seeing as the M4 MacBook Pro models arrived five months after the announcement of the M4 iPad Pro, this could mean Apple is following last year’s plan.
Either way, Gurman states the M5 MacBook Pro laptops are expected to arrive over the next few months, suggesting that an early 2026 launch event may be on the cards.
As for new MacBook Air models equipped with M5, these are looking to arrive after the Pro. This likely puts it around March, similar to the release of the M4 MacBook Air.
Again, no major design overhaul is rumored for these laptops, and the question of Mac mini or iMac models launching around the same time is still up in the air. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see when the M5 MacBooks will officially arrive, but it’s already looking like we won’t have to wait much longer.
What else is coming?
(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
Aside from a new iPad Pro and MacBook models sporting M5, Gurman expects plenty of other Apple products will be on their way in just a few months. These are believed to be revealed sometime between late 2025 and early 2026, and it’s looking stacked.
Vision Pro 2: The next headset has been rumored to arrive, equipped with an M5 chip, a refreshed version of Apple Intelligence and a striking new Space Black color option.
AirTag 2: The next AirTag is also expected to be coming, with upgrades to the tracker’s ultra-wideband chip for longer-range precision finding support.
Apple TV 4K (4th Gen): Expect an upgrade A17 Pro chip (or A19 to match the current iPhone 17), along with Apple Intelligence, Wi-Fi 7 support and possibly a FaceTime camera.
HomePod mini 2: an update to the HomePod mini is reportedly coming, also coming with updated Apple Intelligence, an S9 chip and a similar outward design to the HomePod 2.
Home Hub: Apparently, Apple’s smart home hub (or HomePod 3) will be coming next March.
New Studio Display: The next display is expected to come with mini-LED backlighting, and is tipped to arrive alongside potential Mac announcements. This means it could arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
iPhone 17e: Following the iPhone 16e, the next iPhone 17e is now tipped to launch sometime around March, and it could feature the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17.
We may see a handful of these devices announced alongside the expected M5 iPad Pro in October, calling for a special event. But otherwise, it’s all a waiting game to see what will come first. At the very least, we now have a taste of what’s to come, and very soon.
