Expect Apple to unleash wave of new products in 2025, starting soon with M4 MacBook Air

Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman expects Apple to debut a slew of new products in 2025, starting with versions of the 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air.

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
‎

One lingering question with the MacBook Air is what happens with the current models. Right now, Apple sells an M3 version at $1,099 and the 2022 M2 models for $999. Since there have been manufacturing challenges with the M3 chip — and the M2 is still in production — I could see a scenario with the M4 replaces the M3 models and the M2 variants stick around.
With the MacBook Air out the gate, Apple will turn its attention in the spring to its iOS products. On the list: an iPhone SE replacement code-named V59, a low-end iPad, new iPad Air models, and lower-tier iPad Magic Keyboards dubbed R307 and R308.
The updated iPhone SE will be a highlight. This down-market model will finally lose the home button and move to a modern design with Face ID. It will also support Apple Intelligence… The new entry-level iPads — J481 and J482 — will get faster processors and Apple Intelligence… Look for the new versions to have the A17 Pro chip, matching the iPad mini, and a bump to 8 gigabytes of memory.
Likewise, the new iPad Airs — code-named J607, J608, J637 and J638 — will be more about specification upgrades than design changes… I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if the 2025 models get bumped up to the M4, matching the iPad Pro. That would mean the Pro has less of an edge over the Air, but that shouldn’t be too shocking. Most Macs rely on the same chip family, and iPads could do the same.

MacDailyNews Take: 2025 is loaded. There’s Apple’s new smart home hub, a privacy-focused security camera, a smart doorbell with Face ID, the Mac Studio with M4 Max and M4 Ultra chips, next-gen Apple Watches, the iPhone 17 series, the all-new “iPhone Air,” M5 MacBook Pros, the upgraded Mac Pro, and much more are all possible in 2025.

The M4 MacBook Air, especially, if priced right (which we expect Apple will do) will sell like CRAZY worldwide all year long!
