iPhone SE4
The biggest announcement of spring might be the affordable iPhone SE4, expected to be the biggest upgrade to iPhone SE, since it was first launched in 2016.

It’ll also adopt the USB-C connector. Apple may also drop the iPhone SE name in favor of “iPhone 16E,” according to one rumor.
iPad 11
The iPhone SE4 is not the only affordable gadget about to be launched–Apple’s cheapest iPad is about to get a new update. The three biggest upgrades available in this iPad would likely be support for Apple Intelligence, improved connectivity, and a new magic keyboard.
