Apple is reportedly preparing a surprise launch as stock shortages at its stores fuel rumors of an imminent release for the iPhone SE 4, M4 iPad Air, and MacBook Air. Industry insiders say dwindling inventory signals that upgraded models could debut as early as next week, sparking global tech buzz.
Apparently, Apple is getting ready to debut the new iPhone SE 4 very soon, which might happen as soon as the following week, according to Bloomberg.
According to the same report, analyst Mark Gurman mentioned that the stock of iPad Air and MacBook Air is “dwindling” in Apple Stores all over the world. This may be interpreted as a possible indication that the new gadgets would be released alongside the iPhone SE 4 the following week.
Although the analyst did not say whether the M4 iPad Air and MacBook Air versions would be released alongside the iPhone SE 4, Apple Stores’ stock shortfall indicates that the firm might intend to replace the devices with improved models.
Though there has been a lot of information about the introduction of the above-mentioned products, no single report references precise launch dates. Apple will be holding an event in April to unveil the new iPhone SE 4, the new M4 MacBook Air, and new iPad Air models, WCCFTECH has previously informed.
When Apple’s supply of a certain product runs low, it is typically a strong indication that the business intends to offer a new version of that product sooner rather than later.
The business is likely to upgrade the iPad Air and MacBook Air models with an M4 chip, the same chip running the OLED iPad Pro and the most recent MacBook Pro models. Apart from this, neither of these devices nor their design should change significantly.
In addition to the iPhone SE 4, iPad Air, and MacBook Air, it is anticipated that Apple will also demonstrate an improved version of its iPad, which is the company’s entry-level product.
Previous studies have shown that the budget iPad will have an A17 Pro chip, the same chip used in the iPhone 15 Pro models, therefore providing Apple Intelligence to the least expensive iPad. Some sources, however, contradict each other about the internals and imply that the gadget will not support Apple’s AI capabilities.
It remains to be seen whether Apple’s most recent artificial intelligence capabilities will be available on the cheap iPad at a price that is affordable.
