Apple plans to launch new versions of the iPhone SE and iPad Air in early 2025. This information comes from a Bloomberg report published by Mark Gurman. Below are the key facts about the planned changes and what you can expect from the new devices.
Loud Bloomberg Apple will be releasing some significant updates to the iPhone SE and iPad Air early next year. The iPhone SE in particular will receive a new design based on the iPhone 14. Here is the key information that is known so far.
iPhone SE: Modern design and new technology
The iPhone SE, Apple's entry-level model, will undergo a major change. The new design will be based on the iPhone 14, with the previous home button being eliminated. Instead, the device will be equipped with Face ID to make unlocking easier. In addition, the iPhone SE will receive the A18 chip, which will provide better performance and enable new features such as Apple Intelligence. The last major update for the SE model took place in 2022, when the device was equipped with 5G. It is currently unclear whether the entry-level price of 529 euros will be maintained or increased.
iPad Air: Focus on internal improvements
In addition to the iPhone SE, Apple is also planning an update for the iPad Air. While the external design of the iPad will remain unchanged, the update will focus primarily on the internal components. Details are not yet known but it is expected that the performance of the device will be improved. In addition, Apple will update the accessories for the iPad Air, especially the keyboard accessories. The new iPad Air keyboard is expected to include features such as a function bar that were previously only available in the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.
