Apple has launched an unusually long list of hardware since late August, and MacRumors has now put a rough number on it: more than 25 new devices and accessories in about two months. The outlet's own list is shorter, with 21 entries, because several items bundle multiple products, and MacRumors says the tally is not entirely complete.
What arrived, and when
The run began on August 25 with a new Mac mini offered with M6 and M5 Pro chips and a Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra options. The iPhone lineup followed on September 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and the foldable iPhone Duo, alongside Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5. A new Apple Watch charging puck appeared on September 16, and Beats 360 headphones on September 22.
October brought a Pokemon special edition of the Beats Pill on October 13, the same day as a new Apple TV 4K with a Siri Remote, the HomePod mini 2 and the HomeView smart home hub. The most recent week was Mac-heavy: an OLED iPad mini on October 26, a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 and an M6 iMac on October 27, and the touchscreen MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display on October 28, plus redesigned power adapters and a World Travel Adapter Kit.
What is on sale and what is not
Availability is still staggered. According to MacRumors, the HomePod mini 2 goes on sale on October 30, while the 14-inch MacBook Pro, the iPad mini and the M6 iMac are available to pre-order and arrive on November 6. The outlet expects HomeView, the new Apple TV 4K, the iPad mini and the OLED MacBook Pro to keep reaching customers through at least mid-November.
Is that the end of it?
MacRumors writes that Apple has likely cleared through its slate of remaining major product announcements this year, with the caveat "barring any surprises." That is the outlet's assessment rather than anything Apple has said. Apple has not published a count of its own, and the roundup leaves out items such as Apple Watch bands and iPhone cases.
The release cadence also lines up with a busy stretch for the company, which reports fiscal fourth-quarter results on November 2. The September quarter will not capture most of the October launches, but the next report will show how the new lineup is selling.
