Apple made a rare mistake on Wednesday when its software code accidentally included a large number of identifiers for unreleased hardware products, leading to the premature disclosure of some new product information. Tech experts at Newz Express analysed this leaked data in detail and discovered the key chip configurations for several Apple product lines, which could hit the market in the coming months, marking a significant apple leak 2025 incident.
New HomePod Mini 2025 to Feature S-Series Processor Upgrade
The new HomePod mini, codenamed B525 (currently B520), will be powered by a new processor based on the S-series chip. Its microarchitecture shares the same T8310 chip used in the Apple Watch Series 9, 10, and 11. However, since the S9, S10, and S11 all use this chip, it’s unclear whether Apple will name it S9, S10, or S11, with the S11 being the most likely name.
Compared to the current model equipped with the S5 chip, the new HomePod mini is expected to have a significant leap in performance, with a 64-bit dual-core processor based on the A16 chip design and a quad-core neural network engine.
The new HomePod mini is expected to debut in late 2025. Other rumors include a new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth two-in-one chip and support for Wi-Fi 6E, and new color schemes may also be available.
Apple TV 2025 Rumored to Get A17 Pro Chip and Console-Level Gaming
Code indicates that the new Apple TV will be equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which is also a significant improvement over the current A15. The addition of the A17 Pro will not only bring a smoother system experience, but also enable it to run Apple Intelligence and console-level games.
Rumors suggest the new Apple TV will feature Apple’s own Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips. Apple may release it in September alongside the new iPhone, but it could also be delayed until October or November.
Apple Studio Display 2 May Launch with Mini-LED Technology in 2026
Information about the second-generation Apple Studio Display, code-named J427, also appeared in Apple’s code. It is rumored that it may use mini-LED technology to improve display effects and is expected to be released in early 2026.
The code also mentions a display codenamed J527, but it’s unclear what J527 is. Previously, Mark Gurman said Apple is developing two versions of the Studio Display and will choose one for release, so the J527 could be another version of the Studio Display 2.
iPad Mini 2025 Likely to Feature A19 Pro Chip from iPhone 17 Pro
Code indicates Apple is developing a next-generation iPad mini (codenamed J510/J511), featuring the A19 Pro chip planned for the iPhone 17 Pro. Considering the current iPad mini uses the A17 Pro chip, this upgrade strategy continues Apple’s tradition of equipping the small tablet with top-of-the-line processors. However, there’s no specific information on when the new iPad mini will be released.
Entry-Level iPad 2025 to Get A18 Chip and Apple Intelligence
The low-cost iPad, aimed at the entry-level market, will also be upgraded. Code indicates that the new model will be powered by the A18 chip, the same processor used in the iPhone 16 series. This will enable the entry-level iPad to run Apple Intelligence for the first time. It is expected to launch next spring.
Apple Vision Pro 2 Expected with M5 Chip and Late 2025 Launch
Previous rumors have fluctuated between the M4 and M5 chip options for the second-generation Apple Vision Pro. Leaked code suggests the next-generation Vision Pro will likely feature the M5 chip. Beyond the chip upgrade, the new model isn’t expected to feature major design or hardware changes, though it may include a new, more comfortable headband. A release date as early as late 2025 is possible.
Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and Future Watch Models
The Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, which will be released this fall, will use the same T8310 architecture inside their S11 chipsets as the S9 and S10. This means the 2025 Apple Watch may not see a significant leap in processor performance.
While the underlying technology is the same, Apple may make other tweaks. For example, in the S10, Apple redesigned the chip to make it thinner, thereby reducing the space it takes up inside the watch.
Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Code Names Leaked
In addition, the code also found the device code names of the future Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4:
N227: Apple Watch Series 11
N228: Apple Watch Series 11 (Cellular)
N230: Apple Watch Ultra 3
N237: Apple Watch Series 12
N238: Apple Watch Series 12 (Cellular)
N240: Apple Watch Ultra 4
Conclusion
Apple’s accidental leak of information about unreleased new products is indeed very rare, but it also provides us with clear information about its product line. For consumers, in addition to the design adjustments, chip upgrades are undoubtedly one of the focuses. So, which of this leaked new product list are you most looking forward to?
