Upcoming Apple products: What to expect
iPhone 17 Series
Apple's 2025 iPhone lineup is expected to bring some notable changes. The iPhone 17 Plus could be replaced with a slimmer ' iPhone 17 Air,' while the Pro models may debut with a redesigned chassis. All four variants are likely to ship with iOS 26, introducing Apple's new 'Liquid Glass' design language.
Expected line-up:
iPhone 17: May gain ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) and an upgraded front camera.
iPhone 17 Air: Rumoured to be the thinnest iPhone yet with a futuristic design, though it may trade off some battery life and camera hardware.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Expected to feature a hybrid aluminium-glass build, a new camera bar, improved telephoto capabilities, and better front-facing cameras.
New Macs
Apple is likely to begin updating its Mac lineup with the M5-series Apple Silicon. Expected updates include:
MacBook Pro: Could be offered in M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max configurations. However, recent reports suggest M5 MacBook Pros might be delayed until 2026.
Mac Pro: May get an upgrade to the M3 Ultra (from the 2025 Mac Studio) or a new M4 Ultra chip.
In addition to M5 Macs, Apple could also launch a new budget-friendly MacBook model in the coming months. As reported by 9to5Mac, the company is said to be developing an entirely new entry-level MacBook variant that will use an iPhone-class A-series Apple Silicon.
New entry level MacBook: Likely to feature a 12.9-inch display and could be powered by Apple A18 Pro chip. This model is rumoured to launch in late 2025 or early 2026.
iPad Pro
The next iPad Pro is expected to run on the M5 chip and use Apple's in-house C1 modem, first seen in the iPhone 16e. Although no major design changes are anticipated this year, the iPad Pro M5 may feature dual front-facing cameras– in both portrait and landscape orientations.
AirPods Pro 3
Apple's third-generation AirPods Pro could debut with the new H3 chip. Expected upgrades include in-ear heart rate monitoring, ear canal temperature sensing, infrared gesture controls, enhanced spatial audio with improved positional awareness, and improved Find My tracking with a UWB chip. A slimmer charging case with a hidden capacitive pairing button is also rumoured.
Apple Watches
Three new Apple Watch models are reportedly in the works:
Apple Watch Series 11: May feature blood pressure monitoring (for hypertension detection, not precise readings), a sleep score feature, and a 5G RedCap modem for faster connectivity. It is also expected to have an updated S11 chip.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Could add satellite connectivity for emergency messaging, and blood pressure monitoring. It is also rumoured to feature a slimmer design, larger display with anti-reflective coating, and an S11 chipset.
Apple Watch SE 3: Likely to get an S9 or S10 chip refresh, and potentially adopt the Apple Watch Series 8 design with larger display sizes (41mm and 45mm). There are rumours of a switch to rigid plastic for the casing to lower costs.
Apple Home Devices
Apple may expand its home ecosystem with new devices:
Apple TV 4K: A refreshed version may come powered by the A18 or A17 Pro chip, enabling support for Apple Intelligence features. It could also include a built-in camera for FaceTime and Apple's custom-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, potentially supporting Wi-Fi 7.
HomePod Mini 2: Expected to run on a newer S-series chip (possibly S9 or S10), allowing it to handle select Apple Intelligence functions. Could also include Apple's custom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, potentially supporting Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7.
Others products
AirTag 2: May offer improved anti-stalking measures, more precise location tracking with a next-generation UWB chip (likely the U2 chip from iPhone 15 series), and better battery life alerts.
Studio Display 2: Rumoured to feature a 27-inch MiniLED panel and a better front-facing camera. It might also offer a 32-inch 6K resolution option.

Forget walking, Americans scroll 86 miles a year on phones, and the number keeps rising - are you guilty too?
In today's world, where everything is digital, our fingers are going farther than our feet. A new study shows that Americans scroll the equivalent of 86 miles per year on their phones. In some states, the numbers are even higher. The data shows not only how far away we are, but also the hidden cost of our obsession with screens. People all over the country, from Arizona to New York, spend hours on their devices every day, often without realizing how much time and energy they're wasting. Experts say that this "scrolling marathon" isn't just a weird fact; it's hurting the economy and costing the world trillions of dollars, as per a report by The NY Post. How far are Americans really scrolling? Researchers at Toll Free Forwarding found that the average American spends 6 hours and 35 minutes a day looking at screens, which adds up to an amazing 86 miles of scrolling every year. For example, New Yorkers spend an average of 6 hours and 12 minutes a day walking, which adds up to more than 81 miles a year, as per a report by The NY Post. The study found that most people check their devices 58 times a day, and more than half of those checks happen while they are at work. Even more shocking, half of those interruptions happen within three minutes of the last one, which experts call a "nonstop loop of distraction." Which states are ahead in the scrolling race? Live Events New Yorkers may think they're some of the worst, but they don't even make the top 10. Arizona takes the crown, with people spending an average of 8 hours and 50 minutes a day on screens, an amazing 115 miles of scrolling a year, as per a report by The NY Post. ALSO READ: Apple iPhone 17 Air and Pro get surprise release date change — here's the new timeline Washington came in second with 108 miles, and Kentucky came in third with 105 miles. Missouri, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana are also states where people scroll a lot. Even at the bottom of the list, people are still running close to 90 miles a year, which is almost the length of several marathons put together, as per a report by The NY Post. ALSO READ : Orca attack mystery: What really happened to marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe How much does all this time in front of a screen cost us? Experts say there is a much bigger problem than the strange numbers. Analysts say that switching tasks too often can cut productivity by as much as 40%, which is a big problem for businesses, as per a report by The NY Post. The damage to the economy is just as bad. Wasted screen time is thought to cost the world economy $8.8 trillion every year. Phones are making it harder than ever to tell the difference between work and play because they keep you from focusing, sending you notifications, and making you want to check your social media. ALSO READ: iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Pro: The key differences Apple doesn't want you to miss FAQs How long does the average American use their phone each day? It takes about 6 hours and 35 minutes, which adds up to more than 2,400 hours a year. What state has the most scrolling each year? Arizona has the most scrolling, with an average of 115 miles per year.

'God is in the details," says Steve Jobs: Here are 5 timeless lessons students can learn from this tech giant
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs distilled a lifetime of visionary creativity into a deceptively simple yet profoundly resonant maxim: 'God is in the details.' These six words, now etched into the annals of design philosophy, transcend mere aesthetics; they embody a relentless pursuit of precision, an unyielding patience, and a devotion to excellence that borders on the sacred. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For innovators, entrepreneurs, and creators, this mantra has long served as a compass; for students, it offers a timeless blueprint for navigating the rigours of learning and the pursuit of personal mastery. Within these words lies a meditation on the transformative power of focus: that greatness is often forged not in sweeping gestures, but in the meticulous attention to the subtle, often invisible elements that shape enduring impact. The power of relentless attention Jobs' obsession with minutiae was not mere fastidiousness; it was a rigorous commitment to excellence. According to biographer Walter Isaacson, Jobs would spend 'hours after hours' scrutinising the smallest aspects of design, from the curvature of a computer casing to the internal layout of components unseen by users. He believed that the integrity of a product is inseparable from the care invested in every detail. Lesson for students: In academics and personal projects, attention to detail is transformative. Excellence is not achieved through shortcuts but through meticulous focus, deliberate refinement, and a refusal to settle for mediocrity. Innovation through discipline Jobs' design ethos extended beyond surface aesthetics. Every Apple product, from the hidden internals to the visible interface, was a testament to coherent, integrated design. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Isaacson notes that this insistence on holistic quality forced teams to stretch beyond conventional boundaries, fostering creativity that redefined entire industries. Lesson for students: Innovation is rarely spontaneous; it arises from disciplined effort and thoughtful consideration of every component of a task. Whether writing an essay, conducting experiments, or building a portfolio, understanding how each piece fits into the larger whole can elevate ordinary work into something exceptional. Learning from the unexpected Jobs' journey illustrates that inspiration often emerges from the most unlikely sources. His calligraphy classes at Reed College, seemingly unrelated to technology, later shaped the elegant fonts of the Macintosh. Even during his years away from Apple, at NeXT and Pixar, he carried the same ethos, ultimately laying the groundwork for Apple's legendary comeback in 1997. Lesson for students: Pursue curiosity beyond the immediate curriculum. Explore interests outside traditional academics, because seemingly unrelated knowledge and experiences often spark innovation, creativity, and unique perspectives. Perseverance over resources Jobs also challenged the notion that greatness requires wealth or abundant resources. In an interview with Time reporter Michael Moritz, he asserted: 'Things get more refined as you make mistakes… Your aesthetics get better as you make mistakes. All it takes is a little more time… and a willingness to persevere until it's really great.' Lesson for students: Mistakes are not failures; they are opportunities to refine, learn, and improve. Progress comes not from luck or vast resources, but from perseverance, patience, and a willingness to engage repeatedly with a problem until mastery is achieved. Cultivating a detail-oriented mindset In an age dominated by speed and superficiality, Jobs' maxim, 'God is in the details,' remains a clarion call to slow down, observe, and perfect. Students who internalize this approach will cultivate resilience, critical thinking, and an appreciation for the subtle elements that distinguish competence from excellence. By embracing detail, discipline, and perseverance, learners can transform ordinary work into extraordinary achievements.
