Apple unleashed some impressive gadgets last year including the iPhone 16 and the Vision Pro headset.
Now, the tech giant is lining up its next set of gizmos – and the first five could arrive as soon as next month.
According to reports, the company is about to unveil a new ‘affordable’ iPhone – an alternative to the iPhone 16 which starts at £799/$799.
It’s also preparing two new iPads, a new Mac and a brand new AI product, if rumours are to be believed.
‘We’ve been off to a light start in 2025 in terms of Apple products,’ says Apple news and rumours website 9to5Mac.
‘However, we’re approaching the spring time, and Apple has five relatively major products in the pipeline.
‘Perhaps the biggest announcement for the spring will be Apple’s most affordable new iPhone.’
Here’s a close look at the five new Apple products that could be in customers’ hands as soon as next month.
iPHONE SE 4
Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone SE 4, the fourth device in the iPhone SE range and the first to be released for three years.
iPhone SE is commonly described as Apple’s ‘budget’ line of handsets, although the most recent model, iPhone SE 3, starts at a hefty $429/£429.
According to leaked renders, iPhone SE 4 will have a 6.1-inch display – quite a bit bigger than the 4.7-inch display on the iPhone SE 3, which was released in 2022.
And while the iPhone SE 3 has a home button – a physical button below the screen – this will be absent on the iPhone SE 4, leaks show.
What’s more, the front of the new phone will have a notch, similar to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, which will house camera lenses.
iPhone SE 4 will only have one rear camera compared with the two on the iPhone 16, Apple’s current flagship device released last year.
And like other iPhone models since 2023, it will have a USB-C charging port instead of Apple’s Lightning port.
It may also feature the ‘Action Button’ – a little button above the volume controls on the edge of the phone that can turn a chosen setting on or off.
According to tech leaker Ice Universe, iPhone SE 4 will launch between March and May this year, priced between $499/£499 and $549/£549.
SMART HOME DISPLAY
Apple is also aiming to release a smart display for the home that will be powered by Apple Intelligence, according to .
Coming with a 7-inch square display, the device will be wall-mountable and attachable to speakers, acting as a ‘command centre for the home’.
Unofficially dubbed ‘HomePad’ in reference to Apple’s HomePod smart speakers, the AI wall tablet will activate Siri and video calls with a simple vocal command.
Also in the smart home category, Apple is reportedly working on higher-end home hub with a robotic limb – but this is planned for 2026 at the earliest.
Apple tipster Mark Gurman says smart home hardware will ‘be a top priority’ for the company in the next few years, taking on the likes of Google and Amazon.
iPAD 11
Apple released the first iPad in 2010, but now it has a huge range of models across four different iPad lines – iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro.
Now, according to rumours, the company is about to unleash iPad 11, the eleventh model in the original iPad line, likely to start at $449/£449.
iPad 11 is expected to run Apple Intelligence, Apple’s suite of AI features including a ChatGPT-powered version of smart assistant Siri.
According to Mark Gurman, iPad 11 is scheduled to be released around the same time as the new iPhone SE in the spring.
It will mark more than nearly three years since the £499 iPad 10, which launched in 2022 with a 10.9-inch display and a powerful A14 Bionic chip.
iPAD AIR (7th-GEN)
Likely launching at the same time will be a new iPad Air, a successor to the sixth-generation iPad Air that launched last year for $599/£569.
The new seventh-gen iPad Air will be packed with Apple’s M3 chip, which enables faster performance and better battery life.
Gurman has also predicted that a new Magic Keyboard – Apple’s family of wireless computer keyboards – will be released specifically for this model.
Tech Advisor expects the upcoming model to remain within the current price range, offering a cheaper alternative to the top-end iPad Pro.
Apple released a new iPad Mini back in October, powered by the A17 Pro chip.
MACBOOK AIR WITH M4 CHIP
Lastly, Apple will release a sleek new MacBook Air fitted with the M4 chip that powers AI jobs, meaning it too will be able to run Apple Intelligence.
MacBook Air is especially thin and light, aimed for people with busy travel schedules and ideal for day-to-day tasks such as emailing and web browsing.
The new MacBook Air will come in both 13-inch and 15-inch variants, but there will be no major design changes compared with the prior MacBook Air model, according to Gurman.
