So, in October 2025, Apple will be announcing a whole slew of upgraded products. So, let’s go over them.
The M5 iPad Pro
First on this list is my most anticipated product release for this month, the M5 iPad Pro. Yes, the flagship iPad might be seeing an upgrade in October as compared to its usual announcement time frame in the spring. And this upgrade will be a fairly modest one, focusing primarily on the specs on the inside, the M5 processor, and also a potential upgrade to the camera system.
There’s not too much news on the M5 chip. It seems that Apple is keeping the processor pretty tight lipped with some performance leaks of it having over a 10% faster CPU than M4 and also a 30% faster GPU, which is pretty nice, but also fairly vague since this is based on some leaked benchmarks. But given that it’s the fifth generation of the M chips from Apple, I’m sure it’ll see a fairly significant performance bump for all devices using it. But I don’t know if it’ll be that significant to upgrade from the M4 chip.
But going back to the iPad Pro, it will receive not only that overpowered chip for the tablet, but also a potential base RAM upgrade from 8 gigabytes to 12 GB, which is nice for a tablet. And it will also allegedly receive a second selfie camera, which this is not confirmed, but that would be another feature to differentiate the Pro model from the other iPads. So, I’m all for that. The second front camera would enable you to take video calls in either portrait mode or landscape mode, which I find kind of odd. I would have thought the second camera would be a super wide angle or something like that, but being able to simply adjust to different orientations is a fine convenience upgrade.
AirTag and Smart Home Upgrades
Moving on, there’s a new Air Tag coming out, which I’m actually pretty surprised by. With a more tamper resistant speaker, three times the tracking range, and a low battery life indicator compared to the current version, which also sounds like a nice quality of life upgrade that will probably not be something you have to upgrade to, but it’ll be good for those who might want to buy an Air Tag in the future.
We’re also seeing a new Apple TV with an upgraded chip, the A7 Pro, which will be compatible with the upgraded Siri releasing next year in addition to a better Wi-Fi chip, and also maybe even a FaceTime camera, which I would find simultaneously cool and funny, using FaceTime with the Apple TV.
There’s the Apple HomePod getting a new processor as well, the S9, in addition to that better Wi-Fi chip, the N1, better sound quality, plus a new red color.
Vision Pro Updates
And then there’s the Vision Pro, which I don’t know how well this thing has been selling, but we’re looking at a potentially upgraded Vision Pro with the M4 or even M5 chip. One would hope for the newest processor, the M5 chip in there for the price, plus a new potential color option and more comfortable head strap.
MacBook Pro and Studio Displays
And finally, the MacBook Pros, which there is the potential that these will not receive an upgrade until early 2026, something that was not in my bingo card for this year because MacBook Pros usually are upgraded in October each year. Nevertheless, the MacBook Pros will of course support the upgraded awesome M5 Pro and Max chips, which will be super exciting.
Though, this next generation of MacBook Pros will allegedly be more of a spec upgrade compared to a full overhaul. uh and that might come with the subsequent versions like M6. Besides those, there is the potential for a couple of new Apple Studio displays being released alongside the MacBook Pros with the new Apple Studio display monitors coming with miniLEDD. So, those will be nice, too.
But those were all of the leaked Apple products potentially releasing in October 2025. So, which one are you most excited for? Let me know in the comment section down below.
