• Apple is reportedly planning to refresh the Apple TV and HomePod mini in 2025.
• The new devices could feature a custom Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip.
• The chip, codenamed ‘Proxima,’ will also be used in future iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

The iPhone 16 series is the latest in Apple’s most popular product lineup, with the AirPods a close second. However, Apple is present in many other categories where it isn’t considered a market leader, such as streaming hardware and smart speakers. Apple could take another shot at these product categories next year with the new Apple TV and HomePod mini.

A report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple could launch refreshed versions of its TV set-top box, Apple TV, and HomePod mini smart speaker in 2025. These refreshed devices are said to come with a new Apple-designed custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip that will replace Broadcom’s component in the current versions.
