The iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16E, as some rumors suggest it will be called, and the new batch of iPads, among which will be the iPad 11, a possible iPad Air and, although less likely, some other tablet from the company, will arrive coming soon.
According to the latest rumor, all of these devices will have iOs 18.3 or iPadOS 18.3 preinstalled, which means that their official announcement should take place in March or, at most, April of this year. Since these versions will be released in the coming weeks, and iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 would arrive in March or early April, the devices should be presented sooner.
Launch in March or April
The leak comes from an anonymous account on the social network indicates that the software is already in its final testing stage. Apple will probably release these updates on it. next week for existing devices, reinforcing the theory of an imminent launch of the new products.
The iPhone SE 4, according to rumors, will resemble the base iPhone 14 or iPhone 16 in design, representing a significant leap from the current model. This device would include a 6.1-inch OLED screen, Face ID, a USB-C port and a 48-megapixel rear camera, as well as a A18 chip and 8 GB of RAM. It is also expected to be the first device to integrate a 5G modem designed entirely by Apple, along with support for advanced Apple Intelligence technology.
As for the iPad 11, everything indicates that it will have an A17 Pro chip, which would also make it compatible with Apple Intelligence, and 8 GB of RAM. However, some recent rumors deny the existence of this chip for the new iPad, so it may not integrate artificial intelligence functions. This model, part of the entry-level iPad line, is presented as an interesting option for those looking for a device with good features at a more affordable price.
New chips and redesigns
On the other hand, the iPad Air 7 generates some confusion. Although some rumors indicate that it will be equipped with the M3 chip, a more recent leak suggests that it could include the same M4 carried by the latest models of the iPad Pro. This detail, if confirmed, would position the iPad Air 7 as a high-performance device in an intermediate segment. Additionally, both the iPad 11 and iPad Air 7 are expected to arrive with new Magic Keyboard accessories.
The announcement of these devices could coincide with Apple’s usual spring presentation schedule, possibly at an event scheduled for March or April. However, ahead of these launches, Bloomberg reported that the company could tease new MacBook Air models with M4 chips, making them the first 2025 products to hit the market.
Although this information has not been officially confirmed by Apple, the reliability of the sources and the synchronization with the final stages of development of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 suggest that the announcement of these devices is just around the corner.
