Apple says it has “a big week ahead.” This is what we count on to see.

The most important star of this refresh is a brand new chip, which is able to allegedly be upgraded from an Apple A18 to an A19. It’s additionally stated to be choosing up MagSafe charging help, making it appropriate with Apple-made and third-party equipment that magnetically clamp to the again of different iPhones.

Other than that, the rumor mill means that the 17e will persist with its notched display relatively than a Dynamic Island, and we’d be shocked to see it transfer past its primary one-lens digicam. Assuming Apple sticks with the identical $599 beginning worth, although, there’s nonetheless going to be some awkward overlap with the iPhone 16 and the common iPhone 17.

The iPad Air

Do you want the present iPad Air with the Apple M3? Or the final one with the Apple M2?

That’s fortunate for you, as a result of a next-generation iPad Air is more likely to proceed in the identical vein, choosing up a brand new chip however not altering a lot else. If you’re holding out for one thing extra thrilling, like improved display know-how, you’ll doubtless be disillusioned.

There’s no phrase on whether or not the M4 may include some other inner upgrades, like extra RAM or elevated storage within the base mannequin. Either or each of these may boost an otherwise-straightforward replace.

Other prospects

Apple may select to refresh nearly any of its Macs subsequent week—solely the low-end MacE-book Pro has an M5 chip, and it has been at the least a 12 months since the remainder of the lineup was final up to date. There’s no refresh that may come as a real shock, excepting perhaps the Mac Pro that Apple has allegedly put “on the back burner” (once more).
