It is doubtless that we’ll see an up to date MacBook Air with an M4 processor, too, and up to date rumors recommend it might come early in 2025.
Additionally in early 2025 we must always see an replace to the entry-level iPad. That was final up to date in October 2022, so it is getting lengthy within the tooth however there are few rumors of what enhancements the iPad 11 could convey.
It’s even longer, although, because the AirTag was launched. That was launched in 2021 and hasn’t seen an replace since, however now AirTag 2 is predicted to convey longer vary and higher monitoring someday in 2025.
Not each Apple system will likely be up to date in 2025 — the iPad Air will not be anticipated to get one other refresh this 12 months — however it’s absolutely additionally time for the Mac Studio to get an M4 Extremely processor. Primarily based on provide chain rumors, it is also doubtless that we’ll lastly see updates to the HomePod, HomePod mini, and Apple TV 4K.
