Cailian Press, February 12 (Editor: Shi Zhengcheng) According to the latest statement from well-known tipster Mark Gurman a few hours ago, Apple seems to be starting a round of updates across its product lines starting Wednesday.$Apple (AAPL.US)$In addition to the expected iPhone SE, even the less popular product Apple Vision Pro seems to have a chance to make an appearance.

Gurman stated that the new iPhone SE is expected to be announced before next week, during which Apple will hold a product briefing. There will be a small announcement on Wednesday. As for Friday, the Apple Vision Pro team is in touch with the media regarding potential announcements. The M4 version MacBook Air will also be released in 'a few weeks.'

Regarding Gurman's leak, the well-known Apple product site 9to5mac has speculated on possible updates based on Apple products that are awaiting launch.

First, the small announcement on Wednesday. Although the iOS 18.4 Beta system, which is an important update of 'Asia Vets' and features an upgraded Siri, has been much anticipated, consumers are definitely more eager for the release of new hardware.

Currently, the product most suitable for a quiet upgrade is the entry-level iPad, which is the 11th generation iPad. As the most direct benefit of 'Asia Vets' so far, all Apple hardware has received an upgrade in storage configuration.

The appearance of Apple Vision Pro in Gurman's forecast is somewhat unexpected. The chip could be a potential upgrade point, as Vision Pro is still utilizing the M2 processor and does not support Asia Vets. Therefore, Apple might only announce the introduction of a smart kit without updating the hardware.

Another potential update may be the announcement that Vision Pro supports Sony's PS VR controllers, which provides crucial hardware support for gaming interaction.

Of course, Apple could completely seize media headlines without launching new products—by resetting the price of Vision Pro. Although Apple rarely reduces prices before launching new models, the starting price of $3,500 is indeed the biggest obstacle for public acceptance for this product.

As for the fourth-generation iPhone SE, it has become the focus of financial market professionals. This phone, equipped with the A18 chip (the same chip used in iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus), 8GB of RAM, and Apple's self-developed modem, will become the most affordable choice for accessing "Apple Asia Vets."

Morgan Stanley previously expected that the new generation iPhone SE is expected to sell 15 million units in this fiscal year.

There isn't much to highlight about the MacBook Air. Unless there is an unexpected situation of "M5 chip debut," the highlights of this new product should only include improved storage specifications and specific pricing changes.
