Weve been off to a light start in 2025 in terms of Apple products, with the main announcement this year being the new Black Unity Sport Loop. However, were approaching the spring time, and Apple has five relatively major products in the pipeline.iPhone SE 4Perhaps the biggest announcement for the spring will be Apples most affordable new iPhone: the iPhone SE. This is expected to be the biggest upgrade to the iPhone SE since it debuted in 2016, bringing it up to date with the modern iPhone lineup.Its expected to finally be dropping the home button, with a new form factor similar to the iPhone 14. iPhone SE 4 will also be Apples first iPhone to integrate an in-house modem, transitioning away from Qualcomm. Itll also adopt the USB-C connector. Apple may also drop the iPhone SE name in favor of iPhone 16E, according to one rumor.To learn more about the iPhone SE 4, you can read about it in our dedicated guide:iPhone SE 4 coming this spring with these 5 upgradesApples cheapest iPad is likely going to get its first update in over 2 years this spring, with the main focus being Apple Intelligence support. The last iPad refresh brought the first redesign to the base iPad since Apple started making budget iPads, so there likely wont be any design changes.Rumors currently say that we should expect the A17 Pro chip to arrive in this model, similar to the iPad mini. This chip originally debuted in iPhone 15 Pro in 2023.iPad 11 coming soon with these three upgradesMacBook Air with M4Although this is going to be a smaller refresh (especially now that Apple added 16GB of RAM to the existing M2 and M3 MacBook Air models), Apple will still be adopting the new M4 chip in the MacBook Air this spring. Its also possible that this MacBook Air launches even sooner than the spring time, as Bloombergs Mark Gurman has previously mentioned that this product is on an earlier timeline.We dont expect any changes outside of the chip upgrade, though it would be cool to get the new Center Stage camera that the latest MacBook Pros have. You can learn more in our dedicated guide:M4 MacBook Air: Four new features are coming very soonThis is also going to be a small refresh, but the iPad Air will likely get an update next spring, according to Bloombergs Mark Gurman. Itll likely be equipped with an M3 chip, as well as an all new Magic Keyboard just for iPad Air.Read more:Next-gen iPad Air: Heres what to expect this yearSmart home displayApples first smart home product with a display is also on track to be introduced as soon as next month, marking Apples first HomePod (of sorts) to support Apple Intelligence.
