Overview
- An internal iOS 26 build references an unreleased HomePod mini labeled B252 that is expected to move from the S5 to Apple’s S10 chip.
- AirTag-related entries list five changes: improved pairing, enhanced Precision Finding, detailed battery reporting, an "Improved Moving" capability for tracking in motion, and better performance in crowded places.
- The AirTag code carries a "2025AirTag" label and targets iOS 26, indicating plans that slipped toward an early 2026 timeframe.
- Reporting characterizes the new HomePod mini as a performance‑focused refresh rather than a device for Apple Intelligence features.
- Multiple outlets corroborated Macworld’s code findings, Apple has not announced these products, and some AirTag improvements could arrive via software for existing tags.
