Apple has recently launched the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air, but a new rumor suggests that an October event is coming, and this time, it will focus on what the company has lined up in its roadmap.
Multiple reports have surfaced revolving Apple’s 2025 roadmap, which features various devices slated for updates or new releases.
Apple October Event: Roadmap Rumors New Tech Coming
According to a new report by 9to5Mac, the roadmap of technological developments that was discussed in earlier rumors and speculations may still be coming this year, and this would be via an October event.
Apple is known for holding two fall events in a year, with one being the September showcase, which is usually meant for the iPhones and their accessories, and the October event for Macs.
Apple has not exactly been strict in using its October event exclusively for Macs, and this could also be the case this year.
The latest report claims that there are five potential products that could make up the October event this year. This includes the likes of:
- Vision Pro 2
- M5 iPad Pro
- HomePod mini 2
- AirTag 2
- Apple TV 4K (A17 Pro)
It was initially expected that a list of new Macs would make their debut later this year, specifically by October, but recent reports suggested that Apple could delay these devices, especially with the M5-powered pro computer.

What to Expect From a Potential October Event?
Should the five products mentioned above get an October event, it would be a massive showcase for Apple as these are some of the non-iPhone and non-Mac devices much awaited by the public.
Starting off with the M5 iPad Pro, reports claimed that there would be significant tweaks and upgrades coming to the flagship iPad, which was delayed from its supposed March event this year. It was rumored to arrive with two front cameras, one for portrait and one for landscape orientation, but that no longer makes sense because of the iPhone 17 series’ Center Stage camera which can capture landscape images in portrait mode.
Next, the Vision Pro 2 has been heavily rumored since last year, with Apple looking towards updating its spatial computer headset immediately after its February 2024 release. There have been various differences regarding the chip it will use, but it would also reportedly feature the M5 processor.
That being said, there were also reports of the new version of the AirTags, an upgraded Apple TV 4K, which is getting the A17 Pro chipset, and the first update to 2020’s HomePod mini.
