According to Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman, 2025 will be a key year for Apple. The company is preparing major updates for its devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and accessories. These plans span multiple product lines and could bring noticeable changes in design, performance, and pricing.
Early 2025: iPhone SE and MacBook Air
The year will begin with the release of the next-generation iPhone SE, known under the code name V59. This device will probably be called iPhone 16E and will feature a design based on the iPhone 14, including Face ID support and Apple Intelligence integration. Its price is expected to rise, while the existing iPhone SE 2022 model will likely remain available at a reduced cost in developing markets.
In the first quarter, Apple will also introduce updated MacBook Air models with the M4 chip, offered in 13-inch and 15-inch screen variants. Alongside these, new basic iPads equipped with the A17 Pro processor, 8 GB of RAM, and improved support for artificial intelligence (AI) are anticipated.
Mid-Year and Beyond: iPads, iPhone 17, Apple Watch, and More
Moving into spring, Apple plans to update the iPad Air lineup, which will most likely receive the M4 chip. New Magic Keyboards are also expected, potentially enhancing the typing experience and overall functionality of iPads.
In September, a traditional timeframe for iPhone launches, Apple will present the iPhone 17, which might be labeled “iPhone Air” due to its slim design and an in-house modem. A redesign of the Apple Watch SE could also appear. Meanwhile, Apple is working on further updates to the Mac Studio with M4 Max and M4 Ultra chips, and updates to the HomePod mini and Apple TV are planned for 2025. Vision Pro fans will have to wait until 2026, as that device is reportedly not on the update list for 2025.
Apple is additionally developing a new smart home hub with Siri support and iOS 18.4, though its release may be pushed to late 2025 or 2026, notes NIX Solutions. We’ll keep you updated on all these developments as more precise details emerge.
Overall, no major mistakes appear in the information presented, but minor clarifications have been made for consistency (for example, specifying “MacBook Air models” and confirming device code names). Aside from these small corrections, the tone and details remain as initially described.
