According to recent reports from Bloomberg, Apple will be releasing another iPad Air with “internal improvements” as early as spring 2025.

The iPad Air was just refreshed with M2 earlier this year, meaning there’d be around 12 months between refreshes, rather than the typical 18-24 months between iPad Air refreshes. With such a short turnaround time, it leaves you wondering: what will Apple actually be updating in these iPads?

For the first time, starting in iOS 18.1, Apple will allow users to change their iCloud email address entirely. Previously, users could set an alias to send emails from, but there was no way to outright change or remove whatever you first set your iCloud email as. Now, you can.

Apple is expected to hold another Apple Event later this month, with potential updates to various Mac and iPad models. One of those updates is the MacBook Pro, which is expected to have a number of small, but meaningful changes. Reportedly, the new MacBook Pro will be in customers hands starting November 1st.

Apple has made a lot of promises for iOS 18, yet a good chunk of them aren’t available in the current betas of both iOS 18.0 and iOS 18.1. Since most of the promised features are coming “later this year”, we should expect them in iOS 18.2 – assuming theres no delays.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to release iOS 18.1 to the public on October 28th, which will include some of the first Apple Intelligence features.

In this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has unveiled the potential release date of Apple’s anticipated late fall hardware releases. The keynote will still be in late October, but the products will potentially launch on November 1st.

Apple last updated the Apple TV in October 2022, introducing a new, smaller design, USB-C on the Siri remote, and a bump from the A12 chip to the A15 chip. As it’s approaching two years old, rumors are brewing about the next Apple TV model, although things are looking a bit bleak.

Apple unveiled one of its largest updates to the Mail app back in June. The changes include an all new design, Apple Intelligence enhancements, and a number of other quality of life improvements. Although most of the non-AI features aren’t yet present in iOS 18.0 or iOS 18.1, Apple currently says that we should expect everything “later this year,” so we’ll likely see things roll out in iOS 18.2.
