The most anticipated Apple releases in 2025: 5 devices that will surprise you

2025 has just begun, but according to insiders, Apple will introduce new devices in the coming months. Among them are not only updated laptops and tablets, but also an affordable iPhone that will replace the outdated third-generation iPhone SE. Let's take a look at the most anticipated Apple products that the company plans to release this year. This will help you navigate the release dates and prepare a budget for purchases.

iPhone SE 4

One of the most interesting new Apple devices will be the iPhone SE 4. We have previously repeatedly discussed what it will be like, and here is a brief description of its characteristics: iPhone 14-style design, 6.1-inch OLED screen with a notch for Face ID, Apple A18 processor, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB at launch, 48 MP camera and support for Apple Intelligence. The expected price is around $ 500, which makes it a good option for those who want to get into the Apple ecosystem.

According to the latest rumors, the model may be called iPhone 16E instead of iPhone SE 4. Perhaps the company decided to review the name of the line and no longer highlight the SE model separately. The reasons for the name change are not yet clear, but we can expect more clarification from Apple. The release of the iPhone 16E is scheduled for spring 2025, probably in March, although a May release is also possible.

MacBook Air M4

MacBook Air — is the only Apple computer that has not yet received the M4 processor, specially designed to work with Apple Intelligence artificial intelligence. However, we expect a new product very soon. According to the beta version of macOS Sequoia 15.3, the new MacBook Air M4 will be released on this operating system, which means its release in January or February 2025. Apple is likely to release a new MacBook again after the New Year holidays, and the price for the base model with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD will remain at $ 1,099.

iPhone 17 Air

In addition to the iPhone 16E, Apple will introduce several more new products in 2025, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air should impress with its specifications, if it really comes out. This smartphone is expected to become the thinnest in Apple's history — only 6.25 mm thick. It will have a 6.6-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Apple A19 processor and will cost from $ 899.

The cheapest iPad

Apple continues to surprise us with tablets. In 2025, we will see a new basic iPad, because the previous model iPad 10 with an A14 processor was released back in 2022. The new iPad 11 will probably be the simplest and most affordable Apple tablet with Apple Intelligence support, and will run on an A18 or A17 Pro processor. The screen diagonal will remain 10.9 inches, and the price – at $ 329. The release of the new product is expected in the spring of 2025, probably in March or April.

Smart speaker with a screen

Also in 2025, Apple will introduce a new device – a smart speaker with a screen for controlling a smart home. The speaker will look like the old iMac G4 with a screen, stand and built-in speaker. Since the release of the device is expected in the spring, the cost is not yet known, but new details will appear in the near future.
