iPhone SE 4 and new iPads expected to be launched ‘by April’

Different sources have already reported on the possible launch of new iPads and iPhone SE 4 in the first half of 2025. While Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously said that these products will be launched in the spring, he has now specified that Apple expects to launch the new iPads and iPhone SE 4 “by April.”

New iPhones and iPads coming soon

Last month, an anonymous profile on X with a good track record revealed that these new devices will be launched with iOS 18.3 pre-installed, as Apple has been working under the hood to add support for the new hardware in this update. It’s worht noting that iOS and iPadOS “.3” updates are typically released in late January.

Even so, this doesn’t mean that the new iPads and iPhone SE 4 will be announced alongside the release of iOS 18.3. According to Gurman, the devices will be announced at a later date. Spring in the northern hemisphere starts in mid-March, so it’s more likely that Apple will announce the new products between March and April, which has happened many times in the past.

Last year, the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air were launched in May with iPadOS 17.4. Apple has already confirmed that it plans to release iOS 18.4 to the public sometime in April, as the update will enable Apple Intelligence for non-English languages for the first time. Since the products are expected to be shipped with the “.3,” software, this gives us a more precise time frame for when to expect the launch of the new devices.

According to rumors, Apple plans to introduce at least three new iOS devices in the spring of 2025: the iPhone SE 4, iPad 11, and an updated iPad Air. iPhone SE 4 will look like an iPhone 14, but with a single rear camera lens and the A18 chip from the iPhone 16 inside. As for the iPad 11, it’s expected to get a spec bump with a faster chip (possibly the A17 Pro) to enable Apple Intelligence support.

As for the new iPad Air, details about it are quite unclear since Apple updated this model last year with the M2 chip. Expect them to be announced all together in a special event or a series of videos.
