iPhone SE 4 Launch Likely On Feb 19; Check Price, Specs; AirTag to MacBook Air, Know What Else Is Coming
Apple iPhone SE 4 launch is likely on on Feb 19, which may even be called iPhone 16E. But alongside the smartphone, Apple may launch a new AirTag, MacBook Air and more.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has told fans to "get ready to meet the newest member of the family" and teased an upcoming launch on Wednesday, February 19. The social media post doesn’t say much more than an animated Apple logo inside a circle, plus the hashtag #AppleLaunch, but Apple speculation has already begun. From iPhone SE 4, AirTag to MacBook Air, know what may be coming. Check out what could be in store:
A New iPhone SE 4 or iPhone 16E?
Apple may introduce a new iPhone SE, which could be called the iPhone 16E, according to rumours. Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg columnist and a tech insider, had claimed a new SE would be arriving next week too, and after Cook’s tease, he doubled down on the claim. iPhone SE 4 price is expected to be around the $499 mark (Rs 49000 approximately). Expected iPhone SE 4 upgrades include:
A larger display
A USB-C port
A18 chip
Apple Intelligence support
New Apple MacBook Air & iPads?
Apple may announce new versions of the MacBook Air, iPad Air and entry-level iPad as well, reports suggest. Inventory shortages suggest that an update is coming, but it’s unclear whether they’ll be featured in next week’s event. Expected MacBook Air upgrades include:
MacBook Air with an M4 chip
iPad Air with an M3 chip
iPad 11 with an A16 or A17 Pro chip
Apple Smart Home Hub?
For years, Apple has been exploring the idea of a smart home hub to serve as a command centre for appliances, FaceTime, and other functions. Apple has teased new product categories before it’s expected, though that won’t be until late 2025.
Apple AirTag 2?
Cook’s teaser with a circular design led to it being rumoured as a possible new feature for an AirTag 2, but Gurman doesn’t think Apple would go out of the way to hype up a small tracking device. Second-generation AirTag might come in mid-2025, but it doesn’t seem it will be part of next week’s event.
Whether just the Apple iPhone SE 4 launch is on the agenda, or much more, Apple fans will have to wait just a few more days to find out what's up.
