Apple might not be done with new launches in 2025 just yet. The Cupertino Tech giant released the iPhone 17 series lineup along with a slew of other products at the “Awe-dropping” on 9th September 2025. However according to Mark Gurman from the Bloomberg, Apple is gearing upto launch three new products, ending the year on a high. The products include updated versions of the iPad Pro, the Vision Pro headset, and the base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chipset.
The timeline of the launch however, remains a bit uncertain. Since Monday is a holiday in the US and Canada, it could push Apple to hold back the press releases until later in the week. So, Indians can expect announcements sometime this week. Nonetheless in this article we have mentioned information from trustworthy sources on the three new products slated for launch.
iPad Pro M5
Interestingly, the next iPad Pro has already been leaked online before Apple could even announce it. Unboxing videos from Russia showed the key details. The tablet will come with the M5 processor and at least 12GB of RAM as standard. Externally, there are no significant changes, except one subtle tweak. The “iPad Pro” branding is no longer etched on the back.
Performance however looks improved with the new chipset the M5. Early benchmark tests suggest a decent jump in speed, with up to 12 per cent faster multi-core CPU output and as much as 36 per cent better graphics compared to the M4 variant. Rumours about a dual front-camera arrangement for easier video calls had surfaced, but the leaked units showed no such feature, leaving some confusion about whether it will be part of the final design.
Vision Pro
Apple’s headset, the Vision Pro, is also said to see an update. Mark Gurman believes this version will carry the same M5 chip as the new iPad Pro. Earlier reports had pointed to an M4 upgrade, but it looks like Apple wants to power all its premium devices aligned on the latest chipset. The updated Vision Pro might also feature a new “Dual Knit Band” for better comfort and could come in a Space Black finish. Regulatory documents suggest the headset will continue with Wi-Fi 6 rather than newer standards like Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. Whether Apple markets this device as a second-generation Vision Pro or just a an upgrade is not yet clear, especially since reports suggest that the company has paused work on a full-fledged successor and a cheaper “Vision Air” model, redirecting efforts to smart glasses.
MacBook Pro M5
The third product likely to be introduced this week is the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro. Mark Gurman’s report states that this model is “ready for launch” with the M5 processor. More powerful versions with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected only in 2026, meaning Apple is taking a cautious approach to rolling out its latest chip family. For now, the design and features of the MacBook Pro will remain familiar. Bigger changes such as OLED displays, touchscreen support, slimmer frames, built-in 5G, and eventually M6 processors on TSMC’s 2nm process are being reserved for future generations.
What else is in the pipeline?
Even as these three aforementioned products take the spotlight, Apple’s product roadmap hints at new AirTags, Apple TV, and HomePod mini still under development. The coming year could also bring refreshed versions of the entry-level iPad, iPad Air, MacBook Air, and even a new iPhone 17e.
