If you're not quite sure what to expect Apple is on the hardware release front in the next few months after a series of unclear or downright conflicting reports from generally reliable sources recently, a new social media leak may help provide clarity on not only the number of "iDevices" in the pipeline, but their marketing nomenclature. potential as well.
Although it is not entirely surprising, the The product names revealed by Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) on
There are three iPads on the horizon, but none of them will be able to pack the power of the Apple M4
When did you raise an eyebrow? Bloomberg's Mark Gurman announced last week that the rapidly approaching new iPad Air generation could come powered by Apple's top-end M4 processor? You know, the same blazing fast chipset that's currently inside the 11 and The 13-inch iPad Pro from last year?
Obviously that won't happen after all, at least according to the latest information Evan Blass obtained from an unspecified but supposedly trustworthy source. There's visual evidence to back up this new information, and given that Gorman didn't present the M4 theory with much confidence at first (let alone any concrete evidence), it's safe to say that the iPad Air 11 and 2025 iPad Air 13 are now likely to pack Apple's M3 processors. .

Remember, the M3 was released in late 2023 inside a number of MacBook Pro and iMac variants, and will extend to the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air lines the following spring. But while The 2022 iPad Pro 11 and 12.9 naturally come equipped with Apple's M2 chips, and the 2024 generation has skipped the M3 to embrace the exciting new M4 flagship to the surprise of many.
Likewise, some people clearly expected the 11- and 13-inch iPad Air to jump straight from the Apple M2 to the Apple M4 this year, but if you think about it, that would have made it very difficult The 2024 iPad Pros will stand out and continue to sell in good numbers until a new and improved version inevitably comes along.
That's right, there are no plans to upgrade the iPad Pro this spring, but a "standard" upgrade The iPad (11th generation) could soon see the light of day. There's no new information to discuss on this particular front, so for now, we'll assume The iPad 10's Apple A14 Bionic processor will be upgraded to the A17 Pro in this 2025 model, in line with previous speculation and initial power for the 8.3-inch device iPad mini (2024).
The iPhone SE will likely still be called the iPhone SE
Forget this superficial (and frankly, weird) iPhone 16E brand rumor and get ready to finally welcome the brand iPhone SE 4, also known as iPhone SE (Fourth Generation), aka iPhone SE (2024) for both developed and underdeveloped markets with a keen desire for affordable phones.
compared to iPhone SE (2022), this 2025 model is obviously expected to be a lot faster, plus it's prettier and maybe a little more expensive too.

most Recent design rumors have been calling for iPhone 14- A 6.1-inch OLED-inspired aesthetic and a fairly large notch, which of course isn't perfect but is much better than a small 4.7-inch LCD panel with huge bezels around it anyway.
If what we recently heard turns out to be accurate, then... iPhone SE (Fourth generation) will replace the old Apple A15 Bionic processor with the same A18 chip found inside The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus also adopt the newer Face ID technology and jump from a 12-megapixel rear camera to a 48-megapixel rear camera.
None of these details have been confirmed (or refuted) by Evan Blass today, but odds are it's all about the incident. iPhone C4The iPad Air 11 (M3), iPad Air 13 (M3), and iPad (11th generation) will go official in just two months or so.
