After Apple closed the curtain on the launch event of the series IPhone 17All eyes are now on what the company will unveil this month, a month in which it has traditionally unveiled some new devices. New reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman indicate that Apple is preparing to launch a number of major products in the coming days, albeit via press releases rather than a traditional event at Apple Park. In the following lines, we'll take you on a quick tour as we learn about the most important Apple products expected to be launched in October 2025.
iPad Pro 2025
A leaked render of the upcoming iPad Pro surfaced in a video on a Russian YouTube channel. The leaker revealed that Apple's new device will feature an M5 chip and 12GB of RAM. There are no major changes to the design, but there is one minor change: the "iPad Pro" name is no longer engraved on the back of the device.
It's worth noting that this Russian account leaked everything about the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip before Apple announced it last year, so this iPad Pro leak is likely real.
As for other specifications, previous rumors suggested that the upcoming iPad Pro will feature two front-facing cameras instead of one, making it easier to make video calls in both portrait and landscape modes. However, no evidence of a second camera appeared in the video from the Russian leaker. Geekbench 6 also revealed that the M5 chip will continue to feature a nine-core CPU—three for performance and six for efficiency. The results also showed that the new Apple chip will offer up to 12% faster multi-core CPU performance and up to 36% faster GPU performance compared to the M4 chip in the current iPad Pro.
2nd generation Vision Pro
The second generation is expected to come Apple Vision Pro With the M5 chip. The glasses may also feature the R2 chip for improved input processing. However, a report indicates that the chip will be manufactured using a 2-nanometer process by Taiwanese company TSMC, and the first Apple chips using this technology aren't expected to appear until the second half of next year.
As for the rest of the features and specifications of the new Apple Glasses, it is expected to include a more comfortable headband and may receive a new color, Space Black. According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents, the glasses will continue to support Wi-Fi 6 technology instead of Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7.
NBMultiple reports have indicated that Apple has halted work on the next generation of the Vision Pro and postponed work on the budget model known as the Vision Air in order to focus its efforts on smart glasses to compete with Meta's smart glasses.
MacBook Pro 14 inch
Gorman reported that the device MacBook Pro The base 14-inch model with the M5 chip is ready to launch. Other reports indicate that the base model will be unveiled before the higher-end models powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which are expected to launch in early 2026. No major changes are expected other than the M5 chip.
As for other specifications, there are no significant major changes. However, bigger changes are expected for the MacBook Pro with models coming in two generations, with rumors of upgrades including an OLED display, a touchscreen, a thinner design, built-in cellular connectivity, and TSMC's 2nm M6 chipset for unparalleled performance.
Other products
According to Gurman, devices like the AirTag tracker, Apple TV, and HomePod mini are still in development, so there are no updates on their launch timing. He also expects models like the regular iPad, Air, Studio Display, MacBook Air, and the iPhone 17e to launch next year, 2026.
Finally, Monday is Columbus Day in the United States and Thanksgiving in Canada, and since Apple prefers Tuesdays, it could unveil its new devices either tomorrow or postpone it a few days, depending on what suits it best.
