Rumor: iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 Could Launch by April

Apple fans might not have to wait long for the iPhone SE 4 and the eleventh-generation iPad, as recent rumors suggest both devices could debut by April.

iPhone SE 4

The iPhone SE 4, possibly named the iPhone 16E, is expected to launch alongside iOS 18.3, which will likely enter beta testing between January and early February. Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman indicates that the device could arrive as early as April, aligning with earlier speculation about a release in early 2025.

The fourth-generation iPhone SE is rumored to feature significant upgrades, including:

• OLED display for enhanced visuals.
• Action button, first introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro and carried forward in the iPhone 16 series.
• A18 chip, the same processor powering the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models.

The A18 chip is expected to enable full support for Apple Intelligence, the company’s proprietary AI system, which is slated to expand to more markets, including Italy, in April. The phone will likely include a single rear camera sensor, keeping its entry-level positioning intact.

iPad 11

The eleventh-generation iPad is expected to retain the familiar 10.9-inch display from its predecessor. However, it may receive internal upgrades, such as:

• A18 chip for improved performance.
• Full support for Apple Intelligence, bringing advanced AI capabilities to the device.

Similar to the iPhone SE 4, the new iPad could be launched globally by April.

While these rumors paint an exciting picture, they remain unverified. Apple has not made any official announcements, so the final details about the devices’ features and launch timelines are still to come. Stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks as more information emerges.
