Apple's product lineup for 2024 officially ended with the launch of M4-powered MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini. That sparks an excitement about what is in store for the next year, especially around spring (March-April). Reports are rife that Apple has an eventful year ahead, packed with launches of more iPhone, iPad, and MacBook models. While the debut of Apple's next flagship devices could take about a year, here is everything Apple is likely to announce during spring.
iPhone SE 4
Apple's low-cost iPhone could be set for renewal next spring. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has suggested that the fourth-generation iPhone SE could arrive as early as March. The iPhone SE 4 could mark the biggest upgrade in Apple's affordable iPhone lineup, setting the stage for it to match the iPhone's current design finally. That means the departure of the Home button in favour of iPhone 14-like looks. The next iPhone SE model may feature a notched display, but stick to a single rear camera. Reports also suggest it could be the first iPhone to include Apple's in-house 5G modem, marking the beginning of the transition from Qualcomm. The iPhone SE 4 could also feature a USB-C port, like the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 lineups.
iPad 11
The standard iPad may get an upgrade in over two years next spring. While the design of the iPad 11 could see a revamp in line with the current iPad Air and Pro models, the focus will be on adding the iPad to the list of Apple Intelligence-compatible devices. That means the iPad could be powered by an Apple A18 chip, because the older ones are likely not eligible to run Apple's AI tools.
M3-powered iPad Air
The iPad Air may also see a small update next spring, featuring the M3 chip. Gurman said the next iPad Air model could also come with a new Magic Keyboard.

M4-powered MacBook Air
Apple's Mac lineup saw the M4 overhaul last month, but it did not include a refresh for the MacBook Air. That is because the MacBook Air was updated earlier this year. The next MacBook Air model could use the M4 chip, but that is it. Apple may not be planning to introduce any major changes to the MacBook Air's next model.
