New M5 iPad Pro and Apple Vision Pro in Apple’s 2025 part 2

In this second of two special episodes, we examine Apple’s 2025 and this time July to December. It’s six months of new devices, new rumors, and old legal battles, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.

If 2025 already seems like a long time ago to you, you’re about to be surprised just how much happened in its last six months. From the new M5 iPad Pro to the M5 Apple Vision Pro, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max to the iPhone Air, Apple had a very busy end to the year.

Just as in our review of January 2025 to June 2025 in the previous AppleInsider Podcast, there are new legal battles you’d swear were old, and ongoing Apple Intelligence issues you’d swear may never end.

BONUS: Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear AppleInsider+, the extended edition. As 2025 fades away, we give it one last backward glance to see how we all did, but then it’s time for 2026 and what technology goals we have for the new year.
