Apple has added 37 types of hardware identifiers to its backend ahead of its new product launch event, with identifiers listed across multiple categories, including 7 related to the iPhone and 3 for Home Accessories.
Apple has reportedly added 37 new hardware identifiers to its backend just ahead of its product launch event. Based on reports from 9to5Mac and MacRumors, the identifiers cannot necessarily be linked to specific devices at this time and may be related to new products that will be announced in the future.
The newly added identifiers include 7 related to the iPhone, prompting speculation that they could represent products other than the 3 iPhone 18 series models currently known to have been announced. Multiple identifiers related to the Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Home Accessories have also been registered.
Apple recently announced a new Mac mini with the M6 chip and a new Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra, and reports suggest that a major MacBook Pro refresh and announcements of other products may follow. 9to5Mac said that the devices corresponding to the identifiers cannot currently be determined, while pointing to the possibility that the timing and models involved may become clear.
