Get ready, Apple fans: 2025 is set to be an exciting year. Already there’s buzz surrounding super-slim iPhones, updated HomePods, new Apple TV hardware and even an improved Vision Pro headset. While 2024 marked major milestones like Apple’s first headset launch and introduction of its AI program Apple Intelligence; 2025 may take things one step further by merging AI technology with physical hardware components.
Let’s break down what could be the most interesting Apple products arriving this year.
A New Size Enters the iPhone Lineup: iPhone Slim
We’ve seen the iPhone mini and the iPhone Max, but 2025 might introduce the thinnest iPhone ever: the iPhone Slim. Multiple reports suggest this will be Apple’s sleekest device yet. It might also signal the end of the iPhone Plus, with Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggesting that the Slim could replace it as a more appealing non-Pro option.
But here’s the catch: if the Slim’s camera can’t compete with the Pro models, will its thinness alone be enough to attract users? And could this sleek form come with a higher price tag? Maybe Apple will brand it with a high-end name—iPhone Air, perhaps?
Farewell to Touch ID: iPhone SE Gets a Makeover
The budget-friendly iPhone SE is expected to get a significant redesign, potentially arriving in spring. The fourth-generation model could feature Apple’s first in-house modem, cutting ties with Qualcomm. But it also means saying goodbye to the classic Touch ID Home button. It seems increasingly unlikely that any future iPhone SE will include it.
Smarter Siri and the Next-Gen HomePod
Apple Intelligence is set to evolve in 2025. Siri will become more helpful by using on-screen content, emails, and messages to provide context-aware answers. And this intelligence won’t just stay on phones—it’s coming to the home.
Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple is working on a HomePod with a smart home display, possibly launching in the second half of 2025. Powered by the same A18 chip found in the iPhone 16, this HomePod would fully support Apple Intelligence. That means the smarter Siri experience will soon extend to speakers too.
Updates to Apple TV and HomePod Mini
Alongside the new HomePod, Bloomberg reports that we can expect a new Apple TV and updates to the HomePod mini. These devices could include a new wireless chip that helps synchronize data more quickly.
Vision Pro: What’s Next?
Apple CEO Tim Cook has called the Vision Pro an “early adopter product,” but there’s speculation that it could get a chip upgrade to the M5 this year. That would bring Apple Intelligence to the headset, a significant leap forward from the current M2 chip. While a cheaper Vision Pro is in development, don’t expect it to launch this year.
AirTags 2: Better Tracking, Better Privacy
According to Bloomberg, AirTags 2 is already being tested and may debut in mid-2025. Expect improvements in precision tracking, battery life, and anti-stalking features—all welcome upgrades for Apple’s handy little trackers.
And More…
Of course, 2025 should also bring updates to iPads, Apple Watches, and Mac computers, including new chip upgrades.
