Apple could launch a new iPhone SE and Powerbeats Pro headphones as early as February 11, according to Report from Bloomberg. The announcement is likely to be on the smallest side, as the company has not yet issued invitations for either a staff or a virtual event.
A new iPhone SE would mark the fourth generation of Apple’s most budget, as well as the first on the line to be released by 2022. At that time, the third -generation device, which was part of the largest iPhone 13 portfolio, set a price $ 429 and features similar to iPhone 8, including a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. This product has already been interrupted in the EU due to its lightning door, which does not comply with the legislation for the charger’s directive.
As with the rest of Apple products, a new iPhone SE will almost certainly deal with a USB-C port. The handset is rumored to resemble the iPhone 14 line, which arrived months after the last SE. Renewal probably marks the official end of the iPhone Home ID ID ID button, as the feature is replaced by biometric ID facial elements.
Specifically, the fourth generation iPhone SE is believed to be compatible with Apple Intelligence, joins all iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro. It could also be the first device for a modem manufactured by Apple, as the company continues to reduce its dependence on third -party chip manufacturers such as Qualcomm.
The new SE is expected to see great adoption outside the US, especially in China and India, which are currently ranking in the first markets in the world and the second largest smartphone markets, respectively. China has long been a key market for Apple, though the company has competed in the country for the last quarters. During its latest profit report, it revealed that iPhone sales in China have decreased by 11% annually.
This decline was largely due to the ongoing development of domestic manufacturers, including Huawei, which recovered after commercial restrictions imposed during Trump’s first administration. Also in the game is the fact that Apple Intelligence, the company’s response to the AI, is not currently available in China.
Apple is believed to announce Powerbeats Pro 2 in conjunction with the iPhone SE. The Beats headphones would reach almost six years after the first generation product. The new Bluetooth headphones are expected to be the first headphones called Apple with built -in heart rate monitoring, as the company seems to increase the portable health initiative beyond the Apple Watch.
Later this year, Apple is expected to issue M4 renewed on the MacBook Air and iPad Air, along with a long -term addition to the company’s smart line. The new home distributor is said to include a screen and can also mark Apple’s first step in consumer robotics. However, none of these products are expected for the start of 11 February.
