Alright, so last week, some juicy details about future Apple gadgets and what's coming in iOS were spilled. This week, I dug a little deeper and found out where all this info came from, plus a few more interesting tidbits from the leak.

Apparently, an Apple prototype – running a really early version of what looks like iOS 26 – got sold off. And, you guessed it, the person who bought it decided to share the software with the world. This version, marked as 23A5234w, predates the initial developer beta (23A5260n). Fun fact: Apple was internally calling it iOS 19 back then, so that's what you see on the software itself.

Think about it: imagine stumbling upon something like that! I mean, I'd probably be tempted to take a peek myself.

I managed to get my hands on a list of unreleased devices and features hidden in this beta, all thanks to an anonymous source. Now, this list is packed with codenames for upcoming Apple products. Some of these codenames have already leaked in the past, either through accidental updates or from the ever-reliable Mark Gurman over at Bloomberg. You know, that feeling when you're pretty sure something's coming, but you just need that extra confirmation? Well, this leak is pretty much that.

We're talking about codenames for future Apple chips that will power the devices of tomorrow. And get this – there are also some mysterious codenames that don't seem to be connected to any of the devices that have been rumored so far. What could they be?

Some of these devices, like the AirTag 2, new iPads, and a home hub, are expected to drop earlier in 2026, while others are slated for late 2026 and beyond. However, it's important to remember that Apple doesn't include release dates with these codenames in their software, so there's no concrete timeline for when they'll actually hit the shelves.
