Upcoming Announcements from Apple, Excluding iPads
The early part of 2025 has seen minimal activity concerning new product releases from Apple. However, the anticipated bustling kickoff was triggered by the introduction of Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this week. The unveiling of the iPhone SE 4 appears to be imminent, with expectations that it could be revealed shortly, while reports suggest we may also see the M4 MacBook Air in just a few weeks.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg recently shared via social media that several notable announcements are on Apple’s agenda. The launch of the iPhone SE 4 is still expected before February 21st; however, more updates are likely to roll out during this period.
The highly anticipated iPhone SE is set for an announcement within the week when Apple will be conducting product briefings. Additionally, a smaller announcement has been scheduled for tomorrow while communications regarding an upcoming update related to Apple Vision Pro have been sent out to journalists.

Gurman’s post indicates that product briefings for the iPhone SE 4 are happening soon; hence its formal announcement should occur prior to these events. There’s also mention of a separate “smaller” event slated for Wednesday without clarity on what it may pertain to.
Similarly, any information about Friday’s media briefing regarding Apple Vision Pro isn’t expected to be available publicly as it’s meant for a forthcoming announcement rather than introducing new hardware. This suggests it could revolve around software developments or enhancements concerning Apple’s suite of applications currently lacking native support.
If not pertaining directly to app updates or collaborative media ventures, this communication might unveil plans related to integrating third-party VR controllers like PlayStation VR2 — a move that could potentially activate even before WWDC with visionOS version 2.4 rolling out.
news regarding the M4 MacBook Air aligns well with previous forecasts suggesting its arrival around March; although “weeks” can mean anything stretching into April and beyond at this juncture.
Curiously absent from these discussions were mentions about potential updates for either the iPad or iPad Air models. Speculation had indicated these devices might debut in early-to-mid 2025 so their lack of acknowledgment raises questions — perhaps due in part to existing character restrictions on social platforms?
