Apple may debut its upcoming iPhone model earlier than usual in the following year, showcasing Apple's intelligence on a budget.

Upcoming iPhone may debut in the first half of next year, highlighting Apple's smart innovation at an affordable price range.

The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as several new devices are set to hit the market. Here's a roundup of what we can expect in the coming months.

Apple is gearing up to unveil the long-awaited 4th-generation iPhone SE. This redesigned device, codenamed V59, will mark a departure from the original iPhone SE, which debuted in 2016. The 4th-gen iPhone SE is expected to feature a full edge-to-edge screen, ditching the home button, and a notch similar to the iPhone 14. Under the hood, it's rumoured to have a CPU equivalent to the A17 Pro or the A18 found in the latest iPhones, and a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro.

While Apple is focusing on improving AI capabilities for its devices, only the latest iPhones will initially benefit from these advancements. Apple Intelligence is expected to be supported by the 4th-gen iPhone SE. In a move that might increase the device's price, Apple might follow the trend set by the current iPhone SE, which retails at $430, and modern, cheaper Pixels, which sell for $500.

Google's presence in the market for affordable phones is strong. The Google Pixel 8a, a strong competitor to affordable iPhones, is expected to be released soon. Manufactured by Google themselves, the Pixel 8a boasts advanced technology such as a 6.1-inch OLED display, a 64 MP dual camera, and the powerful Google Tensor G3 processor, offering an impressive price-performance ratio.

Meanwhile, Google is already rolling ahead with AI capabilities on Android devices. This is in contrast to Apple, which is working on revising Siri and improving AI capabilities for its devices, with the revised Siri expected to arrive in early 2025.

In the iPad realm, there are plans for two new iPad Air models, which may have upgraded internals but similar exteriors. The last two iPad Airs from this year included an M2 chip, and it's speculated that the new models might feature the M3 chip. Additionally, a new iPad Mini is expected to be unveiled by the end of this year, with an upgraded internal component possibly in the works.

Lastly, Apple is set to unveil new MacBook Pros and a Mac Mini with M4 chips this month. The iPad Pro 2024 marked the launch of the M4 chip, and it's expected that these new devices will follow suit. Stay tuned for more updates as these exciting releases approach!
