Description:
A trio of new Apple devices could land sometime between March and June.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple could have a busy start to 2025, as reportedly three major new products will land next spring (meaning sometime between late March and late June).

This is according to the usually reliable Mark Gurman, who claimed in an article on Bloomberg (via 9to5Mac ) that the iPhone SE 4 , iPad 11 , and new iPad Air models will all launch during that period, as will upgraded iPad keyboards.

Now, most of that doesnt come as much of a surprise, as Gurman has previously said that wed see the iPhone SE 4 and new iPad Air models in the first half
of 2025 , but now hes narrowed it down to the spring so in other words you shouldnt expect them before March.

Arguably the more interesting claim though is that the iPad 11 will also launch in that window, since this is a new claim from Gurman. Previously, it was very unclear when we might see this new entry-level iPad, so while wed take this claim with a pinch of salt, it at least provides a possible window.

It would certainly make sense for Apple to launch the iPad 11 before too
long, since the current model the iPad 10.9 (2022) doesnt support Apple Intelligence. Assuming the new one does, that will mean the latest models of all Apples tablets are ready for AI.

We expect similar support from the iPhone SE 4, but the iPad Air (2024) already supports AI, so that wont be an addition to the next iPad Air model. Still, it will likely be more powerful and therefore even better at handling AI tasks than the current iPad Air.

AI aside, Gurman mentions multiple models of the upcoming entry-level iPad, apparently codenamed J481 and J482. He doesnt say how these models differ,
but it could be that the slate will be offered in two different screen sizes, just like the Air and Pro models are. If these leaks are right, then well
find out in somewhere between five and eight months. You might also like Best iPhone : which Apple smartphone reigns supreme? What is Apple Intelligence? The new Apple AI coming to your iPhone Best iPad : top Apple tablets to consider right now
