Apple is reportedly preparing to launch updates for several of its core product lines, including the iPhone 17e, MacBook Pro, and iPads, as indicated by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
iPhone 17e Features
The upcoming iPhone 17e is expected to feature an A19 chip, similar to that found in the standard iPhone 17. Additionally, it will introduce MagSafe charging. The device is anticipated to maintain the basic one-lens camera system and a screen without the Dynamic Island feature. It will be priced at $599, consistent with the current iPhone 16e, which is notable given the ongoing RAM and storage shortages affecting the tech industry.
MacBook Pro Updates
The MacBook Pro lineup is also set for an upgrade, with the M4 Pro and M4 Max versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch models being replaced by the new M5 Pro and M5 Max variants. This update has been anticipated since the launch of the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro last fall. Current shipping estimates for the M4 models have been extending, suggesting a transition to new models. While the M5 versions will largely retain the existing design, Apple is reportedly developing larger updates, including models with OLED display panels and potential touchscreen capabilities.
New iPad Models
Apple’s next iPad updates will primarily focus on processor enhancements. The basic iPad is expected to transition from the current A16 chip to the new A18 chip, first introduced with the iPhone 16 series. This change will mark the first time the low-end iPad supports Apple Intelligence, and it may also come with 8GB of RAM, enhancing multitasking capabilities. Additionally, an update for the iPad Air is in the works, which will feature an M4 processor, while the iPad mini is expected to receive an update later this year, potentially incorporating an OLED display.
These updates reflect Apple’s ongoing commitment to refreshing its product lineup, with further announcements anticipated as the year progresses.
