Summary
Code hidden in the iOS and macOS Creator debug menus names several upcoming Apple hardware releases, including a new vision pro headset with an M5 chip, a new iPad mini with an A19 processor, and updated Apple TV with an A17 chip.
It also refers to an upcoming HomePod mini with new chip hardware which shares the Watch Series 9 and 10 Watch Platform.
This ties in with previous leaks and rumours which suggested these hardware releases were on the cards for 2025, and the code appears to confirm the Watch Series 11 will use the same in-package (SiP) architecture.
This offers a possible look ahead at some of the hardware upgrades and releases Apple fans can expect in the second half of 2025. Ratings agency Omdia recently predicted Apple would announce new products at its upcoming September Event.
