Last week, details about unreleased Apple devices and future iOS features were shared by Macworld. This week, we learned where the information came from, plus we have more findings from the leak.

As it turns out, an Apple prototype device running an early build of iOS 26 was sold, and the person who bought it shared the software. The OS has a version number of 23A5234w, and the first developer beta of ‌iOS 26‌ was 23A5260n, so it dates back to before that initial beta. Apple was still calling it iOS 19 internally at that time, so the software is labeled iOS 19 rather than ‌iOS 26‌.

An anonymous source provided MacRumors with a list of unreleased devices and features that were found in the beta, and we’ve recapped the device list below. There are references to many upcoming Apple products, which are referred to by codenames internally. Several codenames have been leaked previously in other accidental updates, or by Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. Many of these leaked devices have been previously rumored, but this serves as confirmation that they are in the works and will be coming in the future.

AirTags and Home Devices

  • AirTag 2 – B589
  • Apple Studio Display 2 – J427 and J527
  • Home hub variant 1 with base – J490
  • Home hub variant 2, mounted – J491
  • Unknown home accessory – J229. Possibly a standalone base that can be added to the mounted home hub, or another device like the rumored camera Apple is working on.

  • HomePod mini 2 – B525

  • AR glasses prototype – N421 (a prototype set of lightweight AR glasses, supposedly scrapped)
  • Mac-connected AR glasses – N107 (AR glasses that connected to a Mac, supposedly scrapped)
  • Cheaper Vision Pro – N109 (also referred to as a second-generation Vision Pro, distinct from Vision Air)
  • AI smart glasses – N50, but Apple now refers to these as N401 (Meta Ray-Bans competitor)
  • Apple Watch Series 12 – N237 and N238 (Wi-Fi and Cellular)
  • Apple Watch Ultra 4 – N240

Chips

There are codenames for several upcoming Apple chips that are in the works for future devices.

  • AirPods H3 – T2026
  • U3 (Ultra Wideband) – T2034
  • M5 Pro/Max/Ultra – T6050
  • M6 – T8152
  • A20/A20 Pro – T8160
  • S11 – T8320

Unknowns

There are also several unknown codenames that aren’t linked to any currently rumored devices.

  • N110
  • N209
  • N216
  • J349
  • J190
  • J226

Several of these devices like the AirTag 2, the iPads, and the home hub are expected earlier in 2026, while others will be coming in late 2026 and beyond. Apple’s software does not include release dates associated with codenames, so there are no known dates for when some of these devices are coming.
