For real, we need an iPad mini Pro(sumer); 9" Promotion OLED, A18 SoC, 8GB RAM, & up to 512GB storage...?
Where did you read that iPhone SE 4 production is starting in November ?
I'm trying to time it so I can get a SE 3 just before the SE 4 is released.
The 2027 iPad mini will be OLED: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/02/21/apple-oled-roadmap/
The SE gets apple intelligence? And the 15 was too old even before 16 was launched?
You’ll still be able to get third-party SE3 stock when the SE4 is released, no need to buy it in advance.
Yeah agreed - it does feel early to be upgrading the iPad Air considering it has been on a 1.5-2 year cycle for a while now. That said I could see them updating it to M4 (and basically nothing else) since the screen is really the upsell for the Pros.
That’s a pretty safe bet.
If they do, it’ll be a subscription. But I think they’d rather have people who are interested upgrade their phone.
I think the base iPad and the Mini will be updated in the next few weeks (before November). It will likely just be A16 for the base iPad and A18 for the Mini, some new colors and probably not much else. Not sure about the iPad Air. It does seem early based on the update cycle of the iPad Air the last few generations. Perhaps they want to retire the M2 from production by early next year and will be working on moving most of their products to chips made on N4P and N3E in the coming months. The rumor may also prove to be incorrect.
Apple heard you and will hold up the release of the iPhone SE4 until the day after you buy your SE3 😆
Very doubtful. The rumor is the M4 on the N3E production line is cheaper to produce (higher yield) than the M3 on the N3B production line. Don’t see Apple wanting to use older more expensive chips in any new product. Any leftover M3 are probably heading to MacBook Airs.
Expect anything less from Gurman? Still not sure why MacRumors just regurgitates what he says. He just says the obvious without providing details, then back tracks last second to cover all his bases so he seems like some kind of "Apple insider" in the end.
iPhone SE will likely have the same processor as the 16. Also 8GB of RAM, which seems to be the minimum you can have for Apple Intelligence
While I think you're correct as far as Apple’s intentions go, I also think that their intentions are not very good and that they simply cannot paywall AI in its current state (and by that I mean the feature set they have presented at WWDC).
First, it needs to take off, then they can introduce new features and tie them to certain processors.
This makes sense for iPad Air (both sizes) to now ship with a M4 chip. There are plenty of of other innovations that only iPad Pro (both sizes) have for the professionals. Just like on iPhone lineup, let both models share the same SOC. That's huge.
Actually production will start this Month October.

Apple’s low-cost iPhone SE 4 may enter mass production in October, but there is a possibility that the device may not be announced this year

Every SE model has been successful, if they weren't it would've been cancelled by now.
