The software also references several upcoming iPhone models, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_listElement_wioo3_107\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iPhone 18 Pro (V63)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iPhone 18 Pro Max (V64)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iPhone 18 (V67)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iPhone Air 2 (V62)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"macs-and-ipad-mini\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Macs and iPad mini<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The Mac and iPad categories are equally well represented in the code. Among the references are an <b>entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro (J804)<\/b>, a pair of <b>new iMac models (J833 and J834)<\/b>, and multiple <b>MacBook Pro variants (K114c, K114s, K116c, and K116s)<\/b> that could be the higher-end OLED models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The code also points to a new <b>iPad mini (J510 and J511)<\/b>, which previous rumours suggest could become the first iPad mini to adopt an OLED display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">This is the list of Macs and iPads referenced in the release candidate:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_listElement_wioo3_107\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">14-inch MacBook Pro (J804)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iMac (J833, J834)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">MacBook Pro (K114c, K114s, K116c, and K116s)<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_wioo3_112\">iPad Mini (J510, J511)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"smart-home-products\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Smart home products<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Perhaps the most intriguing references relate to Apple\u2019s long-rumoured smart home plans. The software appears to reference several products in the category, including:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"airpods-and-vision-pro-2\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">AirPods and Vision Pro 2<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The code includes references to <b>AirPods with cameras (B790)<\/b>, <b>AirPods Pro 4<\/b>, and a <b>second-generation Vision Pro (N109), <\/b>the latter reportedly being a project that was ultimately cancelled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The appearance of these identifiers doesn\u2019t necessarily guarantee every product will launch, but it does offer a glimpse into the projects Apple has been actively developing behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when-could-they-launch-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">When could they launch?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The first wave of products, which includes the iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone, could be unveiled as early as next month. The Mac refresh should follow sometime in late October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/apple-macos-tahoe-references-future-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s latest developer software may have accidentally given us one of the clearest previews yet of its upcoming product roadmap.The macOS 26.7 Release Candidate, which&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4428,13066,6624,779,3256,2622],"class_list":["post-78466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-apples","tag-macos","tag-product","tag-revealed","tag-roadmap","tag-update","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/78467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
