Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has addressed recent leaks suggesting that Apple's new iPhone SE4 and iPad 11 will be launched alongside iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3. He confirmed that the next-generation iPhone SE and iPad are being developed based on iOS 18.3. However, they may not launch together but are expected to be released before iOS 18.4.
The upcoming iPhone SE is anticipated to feature a newer A-series chip and 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Additionally, it may include Apple’s first in-house 5G modem. The price is expected to see a slight increase, with the current iPhone SE starting at $429 in the U.S.
