Apple teased a “exciting week of announcements” Starting Monday, and in its teaser image, the new Macs will certainly feature prominently. However, some hardware updates on Apple’s roadmap will likely not be part of these announcements.

Below we have summarized what not to expect from Apple’s series of product announcements during the last week of October and into November.

MacBook Air M4

Apple launched updated 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air models powered by Apple’s M3 chip in March 2024, and the company will soon begin production of M4 versions ahead of an early 2025 launch, according to Bloombergby Mark Gurman. No new design changes are planned for the ‌MacBook Air‌ models and the focus will be on the M4 chip. The ‌machines will arrive next year between January and March.

M4Mac Studio

Apple plans to refresh the Mac Studio after the release of the MacBook Air M4 in early 2025. It will be equipped with a variant of the M4 processor, which could be an M4 Ultra or Max chip. The current model is available in M2 Max and M2 Ultra variants. Mark Gurman claims the ‌Mac Studio‌ was about to be updated alongside the ‌MacBook Air‌, but will now see a refresh between March and June. In previous reports, he said that the ‌Mac Studio‌ would be released in mid-2025so we don’t know what has changed.

M4MacPro

Apple last updated the Mac Pro in June 2023, adding an M2 Ultra chip and officially completing the transition to Intel chips. Apple will refresh the Mac Pro in the summer 2025according to Mark Gurman. Like the Mac Studio, the next Mac Pro will ignore the M3 series. Instead, it will be equipped with the most high-end version of the M4 chip, named “Hidra”. Based on the chip description, it could be positioned as an “Ultra” or “Extreme” chip. It could also support up to 512GB of memory, a notable increase from the current 192GB limit.

iPhone SE4

Apple plans to launch a new iPhone SE with Apple Intelligence support early next year, with a launch most likely in March or April, according to Mark Gurman. The fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to have a similar design to the base iPhone 14, with rumored features including a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, newer A-series chip, USB-C, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence support, and an Apple-designed 5G modem. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple suppliers will begin mass production in December.

iPad

Apple has already updated the iPad Air and iPad Pro this year, and the company released the new iPad mini 7 earlier this month, which leaves the entry-level iPad as the next contender most likely to receive an update. Don’t expect an announcement next week.

Apple’s most affordable iPad model will receive an 11th generation update with Apple Intelligence capabilities in end of 2025according to Mark Gurman. The timeline indicates a significant gap since the last refresh of the entry-level iPad, which occurred in October 2022. The delayed update could be attributed to the technical requirements of implementing AI capabilities into a device economical at $349.

AirPods Pro 3

Despite being released more than two years ago, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 continue to dominate the wireless earphone market, but they’re not expected to get a refresh until next yearaccording to Gurman. The ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2025 will be updated with a new design and faster chip, and the earbuds will inherit Apple’s next new product. hearing health characteristics.
