iPhone 17 Launch Done, But Apple’s 2025 Devices Are Just Starting

Apple concluded its iPhone 17 series launch, introducing the iPhone Air, premium 17 Pro models, and a new orange variant. The company also revealed the latest Apple Watch models and AirPods Pro 3 with health-focused upgrades. However, product releases for 2025 are far from over, with multiple devices expected later in the year.

Apple is anticipated to unveil its M5 silicon at a forthcoming 2025 event. Last year, the company introduced the M4 series in October, suggesting a similar timeline could apply for the M5 iteration. This new chip will likely power upcoming Mac and iPad models, continuing Apple’s transition to in-house processors.

Following the introduction of the iPad Pro M4, the M5-powered iPad Pro is expected to arrive later this year. Analysts predict this device could capture attention, especially if it follows the previous pattern of debuting alongside Apple’s latest chip.

Apple’s MacBook Pro lineup may see an upgrade with the M5 chip, though official release details remain limited. Industry watchers suggest the new MacBook Pro might appear in the second half of 2025, completing Apple’s chip-based refresh cycle.

While the iPhone 17 event did not feature AirTags 2, the device remains on Apple’s anticipated product list. Updates to the tracking accessory are expected at a major Apple event later this year.

The AirPods Max, Apple’s premium wireless headphones, received a USB-C update recently. A full redesign is not yet planned, but minor improvements could be introduced as Apple continues to expand its audio lineup.

Apple released the MacBook Air M4 earlier this year. Speculation suggests the company may introduce an M5 variant by year-end, potentially alongside other M5-powered Macs, completing its 2025 hardware rollout.
