5 new Apple merchandise we cannot see on the Apple Event 2025

Apple followers solely have just a few extra days to attend for the Apple Event 2025, aka the official launch of the iPhone 17, which is slated for Sept. 9. Typically, Apple additionally makes use of this occasion to launch different merchandise as properly. For occasion, final 12 months’s occasion featured the iPhone 16, the Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, and extra. That will probably stay true this 12 months as properly, however not the whole lot in Apple’s rumored pipeline is ready to make its debut subsequent week. 

Before we get began, let’s recap the stuff we anticipate to see at Apple’s launch occasion this 12 months. That consists of the iPhone 17, the Apple Watch Series 11, the Apple Watch Ultra 3, the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, and certain the AirPods Pro 3. For these Apple September launch occasions, the corporate sometimes sticks to the iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, however there are a few different merchandise anticipated in 2025 that might sneak their manner into the occasion. 

However, there are much more new Apple merchandise we’re not anticipating to see on the occasion, both as a result of Apple may have a separate occasion for them later in 2025 or as a result of they gained’t be accessible till 2026.

The subsequent iPhone ‘e’ mannequin

Apple changed the iPhone SE with the iPhone ‘e’ mannequin telephones beginning with the iPhone 16e. While it’s good to see Apple treating its reasonably priced iPhone with the identical deference as the principle fashions, we do not assume Apple will launch the subsequent ‘e’ iPhone alongside the iPhone 17. There are a number of causes for this, however in brief, the subsequent reasonably priced iPhone will nearly actually be in absentia come Sept. 9. 

The important motive for that is that Apple sometimes saves these releases for spring, and this dates again to the iPhone SE fashions. Apple’s first SE mannequin was launched in March 2016, and the second and third generations have been launched in April 2020 and March 2022, respectively. Apple continued this pattern with the iPhone 16e, which was launched in February 2025. It appears probably that an iPhone 17e is coming subsequent 12 months, per Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.

New Mac merchandise

Apple is reportedly engaged on a number of new Mac merchandise, together with an M4 Mac Pro and, after all, Mac computer systems with the upcoming M5 chip that Apple is little question engaged on. Generally talking, Apple saves its Mac bulletins for a separate event that often takes place in both October or May, relying on the product and the launch. So, for those who want a brand new MacE book laptop computer, you continue to have a while to attend. 

Those bulletins could even have to attend till 2026. The upcoming MacE book Pro with an M5 chip is rumored to be delayed till 2026, together with a number of different merchandise. Thus, in brief, we gained’t see any new Mac merchandise on the iPhone launch subsequent week, and we could not see a few of them till 2026 in any respect. The M4 Mac Pro would possibly nonetheless come out earlier than the tip of 2026, although. 

New iPads

Much just like the Mac merchandise, Apple usually saves new iPad bulletins for different occasions, often alongside the Mac merchandise. In the latest previous, Apple has saved iPad bulletins for springtime, and we now have no motive to imagine Apple will stray from custom and announce any early with the iPhone 17. 

Per Gurman, Apple is unquestionably saving its iPad bulletins for early 2026. The merchandise could embody a brand new low-end iPad, new iPads with M4 chips, and the aforementioned iPhone 17e as a part of a “flurry of new products” touchdown within the first half of subsequent 12 months. In any case, don’t anticipate any iPads on the September Apple Event 2025.

New AirPods Max

The AirPods Pro 3 are on the docket for an announcement (we expect), however the AirPods Max aren’t. The first technology is already fairly previous, at round 5 years, and it appears the subsequent technology of the AirPods Max remains to be fairly far out. Apple is conserving the subsequent technology underneath wraps till 2027, per MacRumors, which may be very, very far-off from subsequent week. 

The replace shall be a welcome one. Rumor means that the subsequent technology shall be lighter, introduce new know-how like coronary heart charge monitoring, and up to date internals. Apple did refresh the AirPods Max final 12 months, however the refresh solely added new coloration choices and a USB-C port, so that they’re nonetheless extensively thought-about a first-generation product. 

Any HomePod merchandise

Apple has a few these within the works, together with a HomePad sensible residence hub and the HomePod mini 2. It’s inconceivable that we’ll see both on the September Apple occasion, though not not possible. Apple is anticipated to launch the HomePod mini and a brand new Apple TV 4K machine by the tip of 2025, and so they’re sufficiently small merchandise that they might sneak into the iPhone occasion. However, it’s extra probably that Apple will announce these at a separate occasion together with the brand new Macs. 

The HomePod sensible residence hub could have to attend even longer for a launch date. Reports declare that Apple has delayed its Google Nest Hub competitor till 2026. Initially, the launch was pushed again to the tip of 2025, however more moderen stories point out that Apple needs to attend till 2026 to higher put together Apple Intelligence. So, it’s unlikely that we’ll see any HomePod merchandise on September 9.

The subsequent Apple Vision Pro

Rumors concerning the Apple Vision Pro have been ramping up in latest months as Apple goals to launch a refreshed model of the Vision Pro earlier than the tip of 2025. This refresh will embody the M5 chip and improved consolation. That coincides with the upcoming VisionOS 26 replace, which ought to be launched in autumn 2025. Apple is reportedly additionally engaged on the Vision Air, however we do not assume that is coming till 2027 on the earliest. 

It is very unlikely that this piece of tech will launch with the iPhone lineup. Since the refresh is coming with an M5 chip, it’s more likely that it’ll launch with the remainder of the M5 merchandise that Apple has coming down the pipeline. Since these aren’t launching with the iPhone, we’ll probably see the refreshed Vision Pro later in 2025. 

Still, if we’re fortunate, Apple could tease a few of these merchandise subsequent week.

The launch occasion is usually concerning the cell stuff

Apple often retains its merchandise grouped up, and as we mentioned earlier, the iPhone occasion often solely consists of the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods merchandise (and this 12 months, in all probability the AirTag 2). So, if it’s not within the cell product class, likelihood is that you simply gained’t see it launch subsequent week.
