The upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate contains references to several new Apple products that have yet to be announced. Some of these codenames, like J490 and J491, have appeared in previous software updates but now have new feature flags. Others, such as HomePod mini (B525), Home Hub (J490 and J491), and AirPods with Cameras (B790), are brand new.
The Home Hub codenames J490 and J491 could refer to a home hub with a base and a wall-mounted version, respectively. HomePod mini (B525) is likely the newer version of the popular home speaker. AirPods with Cameras (B790) might be a separate camera-equipped AirPods project that could launch as early as September.
Other new product codenames include iPhone Air 2 (V62), iPhone 18 Pro (V63), iPhone 18 Pro Max (V64), and iPhone 18 (V67), all expected in the fall. Mac models like the MacBook Pro (J804), iMac (J833 and J834), and iPad mini (J510 and J511) are also mentioned, with rumors suggesting they could have updated displays, chips, or OLED screens.
While some of these codenames align with expected product releases, others remain mysterious. Apple often holds fall events, so new Macs, home accessories, and possibly Vision Pro iterations could debut in September or October.
