"Most of the new devices referenced in these leaks are straightforward updates to products that already exist: a new Apple TV, a HomePod mini 2, new AirTags and AirPods, an M4 iPad Air, a 12th-generation iPad to replace the current A16 version, next-generation iPhones (including the 17e, 18, and the rumored foldable model), a new Studio Display model, some new smart home products we've already heard about elsewhere, and M5 updates for the MacBook Air, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and the other MacBook Pros."
"For power users, though, the most interesting revelation might be that Apple is working on a higher-end Apple Silicon iMac powered by an M5 Max chip. The kernel debug kit references an iMac with the internal identifier J833c, based on a platform identified as H17C-and H17C is apparently based on the M5 Max, rather than a lower-end M5 chip. (For those who don't have Apple's branding memorized, "Max" is associated with Apple's second-fastest chips;"
Apple rarely comments on upcoming products. Recent software leaks include a pre-release iOS 26 build and files from a kernel debug kit. The leaks reference updates such as a new Apple TV, HomePod mini 2, AirTags, AirPods, an M4 iPad Air, a 12th-generation iPad, next-generation iPhones including a rumored foldable, a Studio Display model, smart home devices, and M5 upgrades across Mac laptops and desktops. There is a reference to a lower-cost MacBook replacing the M1 MacBook Air sold for $599. A higher-end iMac appears in development using an M5 Max chip, potentially replacing the 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro.
