iPhone SE With Apple Intelligence, New iPad Air, and More Reportedly Launching 'Early Next Year'

Chuckeee said:
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.

Maybe a die-harvested M4 with fewer cores then?

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.

Apple usually holds a Spring Event in March, so I would think the SE 4 will be available in March 2025. Now analyst Marc Gurman is saying Apple will announce the SE 4 in early 2025. Announcing is obviously different from releasing. I would wager or bet it will be released at the Apple Spring Event in March 2025 or not too long after like within a week.

/me looks at the 15 Plus that I have had for less than a year and that will never get Apple Intelligence and then thinks about the SE…

iPhone SE 4 production starts in November, so the phone will be ready in time for holiday season but Apple obviously does not want the SE taking away from 16 sales, so maybe they announce in January and then release in March 2025.

The “holiday season” is now typically extended to include the lunar new year (January 29, 2025) that is widely celebrated throughout Asia.

Surprised to hear about a new iPad Air. Wonder whether Apple will release the next iPad Pro at WWDC

in a few days no one will remember these Gurman “leaks”. He predicted that the release of the new Apple TV was imminent but almost a year has passed and nothing. I wonder what would Apple put in the new air? M5? haha. The earliest date for the new release is spring but 2026 and then probably will get M4.

I’d get the SE to replace my 8. Hope they don’t go too cheap on the camera. I’d rather spend the extra on a new iPad to replace my 4th gen Pro.
 
Classic apple, never learn lessons aye.

single lens, 60hz and ancient design on a $500+ device in 2025 is utterly inexcusable and embarrassing.

no way in HELL does this come in lower than $550 IMO, the 14 is $600 right now.

Jeff Williams strikes again.

My parents desperately need to upgrade their aging iPhone SE 3's....those things are on their last legs in terms of battery life...and at this point, getting a battery replacement, when the new model is sooooo close, is not worth it....

I replaced the battery in my SE1 for only $50. Will do me until the SE4.

They must use them quite heavily if the battery is thrashed in 2 years
 
The article is obviously getting the ipad air and macbook air mixed up. MBA will be getting updated to the M4 early next year, the ipad air only just got updated to the M2 in May this year so probably has at least 12-18 months until its next update.

cannot wait to get the new SE if the rumor is true. instant buy for my HS kid so I can take his 13 mini (I really like the mini form factor) as my backup phone.
 
I know not going to happen but wish Apple at least offer iPhone SE4 with physical SIM slot in USA.

Anxiously awaiting a new iPhone SE. Still rocking my 2nd gen, but my battery has been at 78% for like, a year and a half now. (Side note, I do not think my % is accurate at this point. :p) I don't want a larger phone, I don't want a super expensive one, and I don't need 6 cameras.

I am in exactly the same situation, and hold exactly the same sentiments!

🙏 Make the iPhone SE simple with cheap broadly available tech:
  • Under the screen Touch ID
  • Drop the way outdated notch
  • Use single camera lens hole, as everyone else does
  • make it nice full screen 5.5 to 5.8 inch
  • big battery
  • don't rely on old phones cases, Apple has way enough resources to make a new and unique
Wait, this SE would be too attractive compared to the other iPhone range? There you go 😢

So in other words, you’re not interested in the rumored iPhone SE4
