Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a new HomePod Mini and Apple TV in 2025, along with some exciting new tech innovations. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these products will feature a new chip, codenamed “Proxima,” which is set to change the way Apple devices work by reducing the company’s reliance on external suppliers like Broadcom. The Proxima chip will combine Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities into one powerful unit.
Sources familiar with the matter told Gurman that Apple has been working on this chip for several years, and it will be manufactured by TSMC, the same company responsible for Apple Silicon chips. This move is seen as a step towards greater control over its hardware and software ecosystem.
The new HomePod Mini and Apple TV models are expected to be among the first devices to showcase the Proxima chip, though it’s still unclear exactly when these devices will hit the market in 2025.

Apple is also reportedly working on new home products to enhance its smart home lineup. One of these is a standalone security camera, which would be a natural addition to the company’s growing range of home automation devices.
