Apple device leaks shook the tech scene last week after a pulled software tool exposed identifiers for unreleased hardware. The file, spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, pointed to upcoming models of the Studio Display, Apple TV, iPad mini, HomePod mini, Apple Watches, and even Vision Pro. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now weighed in, confirming some details while cautioning that Apple’s roadmap is still shifting.
Apple device leaks uncover sweeping product list
Perris’ discovery outlined an ambitious set of unreleased hardware. Inside the file were references to:
- A HomePod mini with an S9 chip or newer
- A new Apple TV powered by the A17 Pro
- A Studio Display running the A19 Pro chip
- An iPad mini with the same A19 Pro processor
- A lower-cost iPad using the A18
- A Vision Pro tagged with an M5 chip
- Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 carrying the S11
Not all of these Apple device leaks may reach shelves, since Apple regularly tests multiple prototypes.
Pixel 10 leaks tease MagSafe-style charging, sharper cameras, and Google’s Tensor G5 chip ahead of the Aug. 20 reveal.
Gurman reacts to Apple device leaks
In his Power On newsletter, Gurman noted that several details match his prior reporting. He expects fresh Apple TV and HomePod mini models this fall, with new iPads and monitors slated for next year. His response suggests the leaks aren’t random noise but reflect at least part of Apple’s internal roadmap.
Vision Pro chip upgrade remains unclear
One of the most debated points concerns Vision Pro. The file pointed to an M5-powered version, but Gurman says Apple is still testing models with the M4. That means the headset could launch with a modest M4 bump or leapfrog to M5. Either way, it would outpace the current M2 model, though Gurman downplayed the upgrade as incremental.
Apple’s next moves beyond the leaks
Leaks generate excitement but rarely tell the whole story. Apple may change chips or cancel products before release. What’s certain is that the company is gearing up for an aggressive refresh cycle across iPads, wearables, and home devices. Whether the Apple device leaks prove 100% accurate or not, the wave of updates is coming. The only question is how much surprise Apple keeps for its stage.
