We already wrote that the iPhone SE 4 and new iPads will appear in the first half of 2025, but a new rumor is a lot more specific.
iPhone SE 4 and new iPads
The new rumor comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. He said earlier that the iPhone SE 4 and new iPads will be launched in the spring. This time, he says Apple will unveil the products “by April.” So that’s just over two months away.

iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3
An anonymous profile on That would be because Apple has added support for the new products in these updates. ‘.3’ updates for iOS and iPadOS are generally released in late January.
However, this does not mean that the new iPads and iPhone SE 4 will be launched at the same time as the release of iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3. Gurman maintains that the devices will be announced in the spring. Spring begins in mid-March in the Northern Hemisphere, so produce is more likely to appear between March and April. That has happened many times in the past.
Last year, the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air were launched in May. That was at the same time as iPadOS 17.4. Apple has already confirmed that it plans to release iOS 18.4 sometime in April. That’s because the update enables Apple Intelligence in non-English languages for the first time. Since the products are expected to ship with the ‘.3’ update, this provides a more accurate time stamp.

Three new products in the spring
According to rumors, Apple plans to introduce at least three new devices this spring: the iPhone SE 4, the iPad 11 and the updated iPad Air. The iPhone SE 4 will have the design of the iPhone 14, but with one camera on the back and the A18 chip from the iPhone 16. The iPad 11 is expected to have a faster chip (possibly the A17 Pro) to support Apple. Enabling intelligence.
Almost no details are known about the new iPad Air. That’s because Apple already updated this model with the M2 chip last year. We suspect the products will all be announced together at a special event or in a series of videos. We will of course keep you informed!
