GoPro’s fall launches have gotten to be about as predictable as the iPhone’s, coming around every fall with a new flagship action camera. But 2025 was the first year that the company did not launch a new Hero Black flagship in nearly ten years, instead unveiling the long-awaited GoPro Hero Max2 360 camera alongside the budget-friendly GoPro Lit Hero.
In August, GoPro CEO Nicholas Woodman told investors that the company would launch two more cameras in 2025. The company had already indicated that the Max2 would come out in 2025, and looking back on the past launches had many suspecting – myself included – that a new Hero14 Black was coming.
