During the last few weeks, we have been announcing that Apple intended to launch new devices this yearamong which were the Apple TV, the HomePod mini, or the second version of the AirTag. However, 2025 is ending, and they have not appeared.
This does not mean that its launch has already been scheduled for 2026, since it is not the first time that we see, at this time, or even later, a new product, but it does mean that hopes are a little lower every day, and we have both options at this time.
Will another Apple product be released in 2025?
Although we have been talking for a long time about the release of new versions of the HomePod mini, the Apple TV and the AirTag for this year, everything indicates that this will not be the case, and at this point, Apple should have already given us a clearer signal, since 2025 is ending, and we are still the same.
In January it was leaked that the new HomePod mini and Apple TV would arrive at the end of 2025, and that a second-generation AirTag could appear in the middle of the year. But none of that has happened yet. In fact, the HomePod mini are sold out in many stores, which usually indicates an upcoming renewal, although Apple continues to promote the current model, something that could mean that We will not see news until 2026despite the fact that some official suppliers are already beginning to withdraw the product, being contradictory.
One of the strongest theories is that Apple wants launch these products along with their new version of Sirialready an improved “Apple Intelligence”. This artificial intelligence system is expected in March or April 2026, so it would make sense for the company to wait for that moment so that, when you try its product, you do it in the most complete way, and not in parts.
As for the AirTag, it is the product that has not been updated the longest. It was released in 2021 and while it still works well, users expect major improvements such as greater accuracy and security.
This is what to expect from each new model:
- HomePod mini: S9 chip or similar, Wi-Fi 7, improved sound, a new UWB chip and perhaps new colors.
- AppleTV: A17 Pro chip, support for Wi-Fi 7, compatibility with Apple Intelligence and maybe an integrated FaceTime camera.
- AirTag: 3x longer tracking range, more secure speaker, and more accurate battery alerts.
In short, although the rumors were promising, everything indicates that Apple is delaying these products to launch them with its new generation of software and artificial intelligence. It is likely that we will have to wait until 2026 to see them, as long as the new Siri is not delayed again, which could influence the launch of these products to also suffer.
And you, do you think the wait is normal, or that Apple should present them anyway, even though they don't have everything they could be in 2026? The truth is that many people had thought, to Christmassome of these gifts, so we hope that there will be one last chance, and we will end up seeing them in 2025, which would be beneficial for everyone. That they don't arrive could be a bad indication that even the new AI might not go as well as expected (again). Leave us a comment with your opinion and prediction.
