Financial Union Society news on October 2 (Editor Zhao Hao) well-known apple whistleblower Mark Gurman's latest post stated that apple is preparing to update the iPhone SE early next year, or release an upgraded version of the iPad at the same time.
Guermain wrote that insiders revealed that apple is about to start production of an iPhone SE with the internal code name 'V59', this phone will become its latest entry-level model. Insiders say apple also plans to produce new iPad Air and keyboard, which will be released around the same time.
It is worth mentioning that the last update for the iPhone SE was in 2022, when apple added 5G functionality. Gurman added that apple will abandon the Home button design this time and adopt a borderless screen.
Media analysis suggests that the upgrade of the iPhone SE will help apple compete in the low-end smart phone market, where it is currently facing pressure from Android phones. In the usa, the price of this model is $429, and in china it is 3499 yuan, more expensive than many competitors.
The leak suggests that the new SE phone will be similar to the iPhone 14, with a design featuring a top notch screen. In comparison, the current SE (third generation) is closer to the iPhone 8.

Analysis suggests that if apple can redesign the SE model to look more like high-end models, it should help attract budget-conscious consumers.
Gulman said the new SE phone is expected to support Apple's upcoming personal smart system - Apple Asia Vets, which will debut on the latest iPhone 16 and last year's iPhone 15 later this month.
Gurman also mentioned that Apple may launch new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models early next year, codenamed "J607" and "J637", and will equip these two models with the clever control keyboards "R307" and "R308".
In addition, the new iPad mini with the codename "J410" is also about to be released, possibly by the end of 2024. The update for the iPad Pro is not as urgent.
In addition to the iPhone SE and iPad, Apple will also update its Mac computer lineup this year, including the Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iMac, which will use the M4 processor and be compatible with Apple Asia Vets.
In addition, the M4 chip will arrive on the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro during 2025.
