According to 5to9Mac, these are the 5 products that Apple will announce the earliest next month.
After Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, tech enthusiasts are turning their attention to Apple's first event of the year. According to 5to9Mac, these are the 5 products that the "Apple House" will announce next month.
1. iPhone SE 4.
This will be Apple's biggest announcement of the spring. The new affordable iPhone - iPhone SE will be announced. This iPhone model is expected to be the biggest upgrade to the iPhone SE line since its launch in 2016, bringing it up to date with the modern iPhone line.
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to ditch the home button with a new design similar to the iPhone 14. The iPhone SE 4 will also be Apple's first iPhone to integrate an in-house modem, switching from Qualcomm. The iPhone SE 4 will use a USB-C port. According to a rumor, Apple may drop the iPhone SE name in favor of the "iPhone 16E".
iPad 11.
Apple's most affordable iPad is getting a new version after more than 2 years without an upgrade. Their main focus is on supporting Apple Intelligence. Besides, the iPad 11 will not have any changes in design.
Current rumors suggest the iPad 11 will be powered by the A17 Pro chip, similar to the iPad mini, which was originally introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023.
MacBook Air with M4.
While it’s a minor upgrade (especially since Apple added 16GB of RAM to the existing MacBook Air M2 and M3 models), Apple will still use the new M4 chip in the MacBook Air this spring.
iPad Air M3.
This will also be a minor upgrade. It’s possible the iPad Air M3 will feature the M3 chip, and a brand-new Magic Keyboard — exclusive to the iPad Air.
Smart Home Display.
Apple’s first smart home product with a display is also expected to be announced as early as next month, marking Apple’s first HomePod with Apple Intelligence support. It’s expected to be a cheaper display that can be wall-mounted and attached to speakers. The display will be around 7 square inches in size.
Conclusion.
In addition to the five products above, Apple is also expected to release new AirTags with a newer ultra-wideband chip. And of course, iOS 18.4 is also expected in the spring, which will bring the suite of Apple Intelligence features announced at WWDC24, including an improved Siri.
