Apple's own code has revealed three unannounced products before any official announcement. Strings found by 9to5Mac inside Apple's software expose identifiers for new hardware, giving researchers their first concrete technical evidence of what is coming next.
One of the three leaks is described as a significant upgrade, not an incremental revision. The fact that Apple's internal code contains these references means the products are far enough into development to appear in shipping software, which historically places release within one to two product cycles.
The original video is worth watching for the specific product identifiers, model strings, and what they technically imply about specs or form factors. The leak-from-own-code angle also raises real questions about Apple's QA process and how often this happens without anyone noticing.
