Apple’s mega launch event for 2024 took place in September to reveal the iPhone 16 series, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4. The Cupertino-based tech giant is now expected to hold a second Fall launch event for M4-chip models of its MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac later this month. While recent rumours suggest the event could occur by the end of October, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has given us a more specific launch timeline. Apple will reportedly unveil M4 MacBook Pro models, a Mac Mini, an iMac, and a new iPad Mini in October. The M4 MacBook Air laptops, new iPad Air tablets, and upgraded AirTags are said to go official in the first half of 2025.

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman claimed that Apple will hold a launch event around the end of October for a few products, with some launching as early as November 1. Apple is reportedly aiming to launch a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip (code-named J604), and high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 chips (J614 and J616).

Gurman said Apple will launch a revamped Mac mini with M4 or M4 Pro chips (J773), a refreshed iMac with an M4 chip (J623) and an upgraded iPad mini (J410) in October.

Here’s What Apple Will Launch Early in 2025

Further, Gurman states that Apple will unveil 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with M4 (J613 and J615) chips, updated 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models (J607 and J637), new Magic Keyboards for the updated iPad Air line (R307 and R308) and an upgraded AirTag item finder accessory (B589) in the first half of the year. The long-awaited iPhone SE with codename V59 is also said to go official in the first half of 2025.

Apple is also working on M4-powered Mac Studio and Mac Pro models, but “may take longer to arrive”, says Gurman. The launch of Mac Studio is said to take place closer to the middle of the year, with the Mac Pro expected to go on sale sometime in the second half of 2025. He states that the iPhone 17 family and new Apple Watches will be introduced in late 2025, along with M5 Macs.

iPhone SE 4 has been in the rumour mill for quite some time. As we wait for an official confirmation about its existence, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has claimed that Apple is getting ready to launch the iPhone SE 4 in early 2025. The upcoming affordable iPhone model could be launched alongside the new iPad Air and accessories. The iPhone SE 4 will reportedly ditch the Home Button and use Face ID instead. It is expected to ship with Apple Intelligence features.

Apple to Launch New iPhone SE, iPad Air in Early 2025

In a new Bloomberg report, Mark Gurman citing internal sources, states that Apple is nearing production of an updated iPhone SE — codenamed V59. The company is also eying to manufacture new iPad Air models and keyboards for release around the same time.

Apple will reportedly move away from the old home button design and transition to an edge-to-edge screen with the latest iPhone SE 4. The phone is said to use Face ID and support Apple Intelligence, the suite of AI tools that will be soon available in iPhone 16 and high-end iPhone 15 models.

The iPhone SE 4 is said to borrow many of its designs from 2022’s iPhone 14, including the notch cutout at the top. The existing iPhone SE currently available in the Apple Store closely resembles the iPhone 8 with touch ID, thick bezels and a single rear camera.

The release of new iPhone SE is likely to help Apple compete in the low-end smartphone market, and potentially win back market share lost to brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi.

Beyond the iPhone SE 4, Apple will reportedly unveil new iPad Air models — codenamed J607 and J637 — with 11-inch and 13-inch screens early next year, according to Gurman. An updated version of the Magic Keyboard accessory, revamped Mac mini, updated MacBook Pros and iMacs with an M4 chip and Apple Intelligence features are also said to go official in 2025.

iPhone SE 4 Specifications, Price (Expected)

The iPhone SE 4 is tipped to come with a single 48-megapixel rear camera. It is likely to get a 6.06-inch panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. It could run on Apple’s A18 chipset with 6GB and 8GB LPDDR5 RAM options.

It is said to be priced between $499 (roughly Rs. 42,000) and $549 (roughly Rs. 46,000). The iPhone SE (2022) was unveiled with a starting price tag of $429 (roughly Rs. 35,000) for the base 64GB model.
