FCC Filings and Leaks Point to Imminent Apple Hardware Reveals

Regulatory clues plus credible reports indicate announcements this month, with some devices not expected to ship until early 2026.

Overview

  • 9to5Mac reports the M5 MacBook Pro could still be unveiled later in October, though a slip to early 2026 remains possible and an October announcement could precede delayed availability.
  • MacRumors notes Apple may skip a full event in favor of press releases, with any October news likely by October 29 ahead of the October 30 earnings call.
  • Recent FCC documents referenced new MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and a Vision Pro headset, providing official indicators of near‑term product introductions.
  • An unboxing video from Wylsacom appeared to show an M5 iPad Pro with few external changes, reinforcing expectations of a spec‑centric refresh.
  • Rumors also point to an Apple TV 4K with an A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence support, a HomePod mini 2 with an N1 wireless chip and audio tweaks, an AirTag 2 with a new Ultra Wideband chip, two new 27‑inch displays nearing mass production, and a Vision Pro update as work on a lighter Vision Air is paused.
