The current iPhone SE 3 was released in March 2022 after it was announced that Apple will switch to an "all-screen" design for the iPhone SE 4, which will be based on the iPhone 14 as a whole, with features such as "Face ID", "Action Button", "USB-C" and more.
AirTag 2 tracker
Foreign media mentioned that the AirTag 2 tracker will start production as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, and the forecast released by Ming-Chi Kuo a few days ago also indicates that Apple plans to officially release the AirTag 2 in 2025.
Switch to an Apple Watch Ultra with a Micro-LED screen
Previously, it was revealed that Apple will launch the Apple Watch Series 10 watch with a Micro-LED screen this year, and the company also plans to replace the Apple Watch Ultra watch with a Micro-LED screen by the end of 2025.
Apple's current Apple Watch Ultra uses an OLED screen with a size of 1.93 inches, according to a previous report by IT House, TrendForce claimed that after switching to Micro-LED, the screen size of the new Apple Watch Ultra will be 10% larger than the current model to 2.12 inches, and the relevant panels will be provided by ams OSRAM (ams OSRAM) in Germany and LG in South Korea.
iMac Pro
Apple is still rumored to be working on a "high-end" iMac Pro model with a 32-inch Micro-LED display and "more connectors."
However, Apple's PR representative Starlayne Meza has previously said that "Apple will not make a 27-inch iMac with Apple silicon", so it is "still a mystery" whether Apple will eventually launch such a 32-inch iMac Pro.
可折叠 iPad / iPhone
Ming-Chi Kuo and display analyst Ross Young have previously claimed that Apple is expected to launch a foldable iPad/iPhone after 2025, and that Apple is currently focusing on switching to OLED displays for iPads, and that it will be at least "a few years before switching to foldable iPads".
