苹果似乎意外泄露了一系列未公布产品的硬件标识符——这些内部标识符出现在公开共享的软件代码中,为多条产品线提供了极为具体的线索。这一信息最初由科技媒体MacRumors披露,涵盖了苹果iPhone、iPad、Apple Watch、Mac和Vision Pro产品线中的下一代芯片信息,也印证了此前关于苹果未来产品路线图的报道与传闻。

在此补充背景信息:苹果软件通常包含设备字符串、代号及芯片相关引用,这些信息会在硬件发布前提前曝光——即便无法确认最终参数,但通常也能确认产品系列与品类。此次曝光的标识符清晰勾勒出苹果2025年末至2026年的产品线:全系列芯片升级、Apple TV规格提升以解锁人工智能与游戏功能、基于M5芯片的Vision Pro性能实现小幅提升,以及显示器技术研发指向2026年初推出高端Studio Display。

需明确的是:尽管以下所有细节均来自苹果自有软件代码中的标识符和文档,但苹果尚未正式宣布任何一款产品,因此规格、功能及时间线均可能在发布前出现变动。如往常一样,在苹果官方发布前,关于其未来产品的报道需持保留态度。

泄露内容及其暗示

• 定价参考:现款Studio Display起售价为1599美元。Mini LED版本或提高定价,但苹果对该产品的具体定价策略(以及是否会加入ProMotion自适应刷新率等功能),需待发布日期临近才能明确。

新一代iPad mini

• 即将推出:下一代iPad mini(代号J510/J511)将搭载A19 Pro芯片——与iPhone 17 Pro系列计划采用的芯片同属一个家族——这意味着,相较于当前iPad mini搭载的A17 Pro芯片,其性能将实现快速提升。

• 差异点:除了系统级芯片(SoC)升级外,苹果已探索在2026年推出配备OLED屏幕的iPad mini,但具体时间表仍未确定。预计A19 Pro会比标准版A19拥有更多的图形处理器核心;与过往移动设备策略一致,苹果或推出核心数少一个的版本。

• 定价参考:苹果将iPad mini定位为高端小型平板电脑;此次若仅对A19 Pro芯片进行升级,暂不更新显示屏,定价大概率会维持现有水平。

新一代入门级iPad

• 即将推出:软件代码中提及的下一代低价iPad(代号J581/J582)将搭载A18芯片,预计将于明年春季推出更新版本。

• 差异点:现款入门级iPad搭载A16芯片。据MacRumors援引此前报道,A18芯片将新增16核神经引擎,且支持苹果智能功能,这意味着入门级iPad将迎来主流人工智能功能,同时保留现有机身设计。

• 定价参考:苹果一直为入门级iPad设定极具竞争力的价格,现款起售价为349美元。倘若此次仅对核心配置进行升级,起售价有望维持现有水平。

Vision Pro 2

• 即将推出:

代码字符串显示,第二代Vision Pro将搭载M5芯片,终结了数月以来围绕其采用M4还是M5芯片的猜测。除芯片外,新品改动预计较为有限,目前正讨论为其配备更舒适的新款头带,预计2025年末发布。

• 差异点:初代Vision Pro头显搭载M2芯片;从现有信息来看,升级为M5芯片后,其中央处理器、图形处理器性能及神经处理能力将大幅提升,而整体工业设计基本保持不变。

• 定价参考:初代Vision Pro头显起售价为3499美元。此次若以芯片升级和舒适度优化为核心迭代方向,在配置无其他重大调整的情况下,苹果大概率会将起售价维持在相近区间。

新一代Apple Watch

• 即将推出:Apple Watch Series 11、Ultra 3及SE 3均将搭载S11 SiP(系统级封装芯片),该芯片沿用了S9/S10所采用的T8310架构,包含两个Sawtooth性能核心、64位双核中央处理器、4核神经网络引擎、第二代超宽带(UWB)及64GB存储。

• 差异点:在Apple Watch的微架构设计上,苹果通常会采用多年延续使用的策略,因此本周期预计以封装工艺优化或能效提升为主,不会带来大幅性能飞跃;更大规模的升级或需等到2026年的S12芯片。此外,代码中的代号还显示,苹果已在规划明年的Apple Watch机型。

• 定价参考:从历史定价来看,苹果铝金属版Apple Watch在美国市场的起售价始终保持稳定——Series 9起售价为399美元,蜂窝网络版则在此基础上加价100美元。若Series 11未采用全新材料或升级显示屏,那么其定价大概率会维持在这一区间。同理,Ultra系列自推出以来起售价一直为799美元,若未新增传感器或采用新材料,价格或保持不变;而主打性价比的Watch SE起售价为249美元,蜂窝网络版根据配置不同需额外支付50-100美元,此次新品入门价预计与现款相近。

并非首次泄露

此类硬件信息泄露并非首次发生——长期以来,苹果常会在软件中留下关于未来硬件的“线索”。例如,在AirTags发布前数月,iOS代码中就已出现暗示该产品及“查找”(Find My)功能集成的信息,后续苹果官方支持视频更是直接提及了AirTags的名称。此外,AirPods、Apple TV及多款Apple Watch机型等热门产品,也曾通过代码中的引用提前曝光。

因此,尽管这些产品均未正式发布,但此次新曝光的标识符与苹果内部产品分类体系一致,且延续了此前基于代码对全硬件产品线的相关报道。不过,若这些代码引用信息准确无误,那么对于苹果粉丝而言,或许要为即将到来的假日购物季准备一笔不小的预算。(*)

Apple appears to have accidentally revealed a slate of unannounced hardware after internal identifiers surfaced in publicly shared software code, offering unusually concrete clues across multiple product lines. The disclosures, first surfaced by MacRumors, point to next-generation chips spanning Apple’s iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro product lines, and help validate past reports and rumors about Apple’s roadmap for future products.

For some context: Apple’s software regularly includes device strings, codenames, and chip references that surface ahead of hardware—often confirming families and classes, if not final specs. The identifiers coherently map Apple’s late 2025 to 2026 pipeline: silicon upgrades across the lineup, an Apple TV spec jump that unlocks AI/gaming features, a Vision Pro “speed bump” anchored on M5, and display R&D that points to a higher end Studio Display in early 2026.

To be clear: While all these details below come from identifiers and documentation located in Apple’s own software code, Apple has not actually announced any of these products, so specifications, features, and timelines can change before release. As always, take reports about future Apple products with a grain of salt until they are officially unveiled.

What leaked, and what it suggests

New HomePod mini

• What’s coming: A next gen HomePod mini (codename B525) tied to Apple’s T8310 microarchitecture—the same core architecture used to power the latest Apple Watches—indicating a major jump over today’s S5-based model. MacRumors notes Apple is also testing an in house Wi Fi/Bluetooth combo with Wi Fi 6E and is considering new colors.

• How it differs: The current mini runs an S5-class chip without a Neural Engine. The new model is expected to add a 64 bit dual core CPU derived from A16 and a 4 core Neural Engine for faster on device processing and smarter audio features.

• Pricing context: The mini launched at $99 and has held close to that level. A chip and radio upgrade could carry a small premium, but Apple often protects the entry price.

New Apple TV

• What’s coming: An Apple TV refresh “later this year” would prominently feature the A17 Pro, the same chip that powered last year’s iPhone 15 Pro, which would significantly improve Apple TV performance, Apple Intelligence support, and headroom for console style graphics.

• How it differs: Today’s Apple TV 4K runs A15. The A17 Pro upgrade should deliver sizable gains and enable more advanced gaming and AI features; Apple is also testing its own Bluetooth/Wi Fi silicon for the box.

• Pricing context: The current model starts at $129–$149; an A17 Pro upgrade suggests Apple stays near that band, with possible variance for storage or Ethernet.

Apple Studio Display 2

• What’s coming: Code references to “J427” for a next generation Studio Display, with a second code path “J527” under evaluation. Reporting points to a potential mini LED backlight, early 2026 timing, and pairing alongside the first Mac computers powered by Apple’s forthcoming M5 chip.

• How it differs: The 27 inch Studio Display (2022) uses a standard LED backlight and 60Hz. A mini LED upgrade would raise peak brightness, contrast, and HDR performance. Two code paths suggest Apple tested multiple sizes or variants before finalizing.

• Pricing context: The current Studio Display starts at $1,599. A mini LED version could command a higher price, but Apple’s exact positioning (and whether features like ProMotion appear) remains unclear until closer to launch.

New iPad mini

• What’s coming: The next iPad mini (J510/J511) is tied to the A19 Pro—the same chip family earmarked for iPhone 17 Pro—marking a rapid step up from the current mini’s A17 Pro.

• How it differs: Beyond the SoC leap, Apple has explored an OLED mini as early as 2026, but timing remains up in the air. The A19 Pro variant is expected to offer more GPU cores than A19; Apple may also sell a version with one fewer core for certain devices, as it often does with its mobile devices.

• Pricing context: Apple has priced the iPad mini as a premium small tablet; an A19 Pro uplift without an immediate display overhaul suggests pricing stays where it is.

New entry-level iPad

• What’s coming: Apple’s next low cost iPad (J581/J582) is referenced with an A18 chip and is tracking for a spring refresh.

• How it differs: The current entry-level iPad uses an A16 chip. The A18 will reportedly add a 16 core Neural Engine and Apple Intelligence support, bringing modern AI features to the budget tier while maintaining the existing chassis, according to prior reporting cited by MacRumors.

• Pricing context: Apple has targeted aggressive entry pricing; the current entry model starts at $349. If the only major change is moving to an A18 chip, that starting price will likely hold.

Vision Pro 2

• What’s coming: Code strings align Vision Pro’s second generation to the M5, settling months of M4 vs. M5 reporting. Aside from silicon, changes are expected to be modest, with a new strap for comfort under discussion. The launch could be late 2025.

• How it differs: The first gen headset uses M2. An M5 step would dramatically lift CPU/GPU performance and neural processing while keeping the industrial design largely intact, per current indications.

• Pricing context: The first model starts at $3,499. With an iterative update centered on silicon and comfort, Apple is likely to keep the entry price in the same zone pending any configuration changes.

New Apple Watch

• What’s coming: Series 11, Ultra 3, and Watch SE 3 are tied to an S11 SiP that maintains the T8310 architecture used in S9/S10 (two “Sawtooth” performance cores, 64 bit dual core CPU, 4 core Neural Engine, second gen UWB, 64GB storage).

• How it differs: Apple often reuses watch microarchitectures for multiple years. Expect packaging or efficiency tweaks rather than big performance gains this cycle; larger shifts may come with S12 in 2026. Codename references also point to next year models already in planning.

• Pricing context: Apple has historically kept the aluminum Series model’s U.S. starting price steady—Series 9 launched at $399, with another $100 for the cellular option. Absent a materials or display change, Series 11 is likely to remain in that band. Similarly, the Ultra line has held a $799 starting price since its debut, so barring new sensors or materials, that pricing is likely to stay in that ballpark. And the value pricing for the Watch SE—$249 to start, with $50-100 extra for cellular depending on configuration‚ is likely to have a similar entry price.

A leak not without precedent

This isn’t the first incident of this kind; Apple has a long history of leaving breadcrumbs about future hardware through breadcrumbs in its software. AirTags, for instance, were once named in an official Apple support video before launching after months of iOS code hints that foreshadowed the product and its “Find My” integration. Other popular Apple products like AirPods, Apple TVs, and Watch variants have also been tipped off through references in code.

So, while none of the products are official yet, the newly surfaced identifiers are consistent with Apple’s internal taxonomy and build on earlier code-based reporting touching Apple’s entire hardware lineup. But, if these references are accurate, this could be a very expensive holiday season coming up for Apple fans.
