Early in the year, we're expecting to get the ‌iPhone‌ SE 4, a low-cost iPad, M4 MacBook Air models, and a new iPad Air, then later, we'll get a new smart home "Command Center," a whole new iPhone 17 lineup, new Apple Watch models, the Mac Pro and Mac Studio, plus a bunch more.

While we know what's likely to launch based on rumors and past release information, we want to hear from the MacRumors community. What are you hoping to see Apple release this year?

Are you looking forward to a new version of Siri? New ‌iPhone‌ features? A more cohesive smart home strategy? What do you want to see in iOS 19 and macOS 16?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and take a look at our What to Expect guide for an overview of the current rumors. We'll be hearing a lot more about Apple's 2025 plans in the coming months, and as always, we'll have in-depth coverage at MacRumors.com.

If you want to discuss Apple's upcoming products, our MacRumors forums are an excellent resource, plus they're a great place to get help on current Apple products, software, and just to find like-minded folks in the Apple community.

A renewed focus on core competency. Get back to making the best operating systems on the planet, with the least bugs and the most completely thought out features. Quit struggling to fit too many features into a one year release cycle.

Too many distractions. Too much focus on making money through services.
