These betas have not failed to attract attention because they include the first features of Apple Intelligence for compatible devices. But they also came with references to iPhone 16, iPhone 17, new iPad and Mac models.

The developer expert @aaronp613 was tasked with sharing these findings on his personal X account. Although the iPhone 16 series has not yet been presented, which will happen in a month and a half, Apple is already working on the iPhone 17 series which, let us remember, will arrive with a new model known as Slim.
In the references we can also see that the tradition of recent years will be maintained and that in both generations, four new iPhone models will be launched. For the iPhone 16, this will be the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro; while for the iPhone 17, the Plus model will be replaced by the Slim model.
But that’s not all. In the references found in the code of the first beta of macOS 15.1, there There are also mentions of new iPad and Mac models. In this case, it’s 4 iPads and 8 Macs; in the latter case, 6 of them will have the M4 chip in one of its known variants. There could also be Macs with M5 and iPad Pros with the same processorwhich we already know will be used in the future.

Then, in October, it will present new iPads and Macs, if we take into account its habits. Apple prepares things well in advance and it is always curious that this type of references appear in the code of its operating systems, like the one recently seen for a HomePod with screen.
