Bloomberg NewsQuoting sourcesApple is currently preparing to mass-produce the V59Fourth-generation iPhone SEIn addition, a new smart keyboard accessory will be created for the new iPad Air.
In the design of the fourth-generation iPhone SE, Apple is expected to use its first self-made 5G networking data chip. The technology behind it comes from the acquisition of most of Intel's mobile phone business assets for US$2019 billion in 10. It will become Apple's first iPhone model to use its own 5G networking data chip, and it is expected to be used in mainstream sales models later.
Currently, Apple is still cooperating with Qualcomm, and recently extended the 5G network data chip supply cooperation agreement between the two parties to 2026. However, there have been reports in the market that Apple plans to launch its own 5G network data chip to maintain a higher degree of independent design and supply in its products and avoid being restricted by specific companies.
As for the fourth-generation iPhone SE, previous news indicated that it might adopt an appearance similar to the iPhone 14 and will use the A18 processor. In response to the demand for using the "Apple Intelligence" service, the memory capacity will also be increased to 8GB. In addition, the Home button and Touch ID fingerprint recognition function will be cancelled, and Face ID facial recognition will be used as the identity verification interface. It is also expected that the screen's visible range will be increased, and the camera will also use a 1200-megapixel video lens, paired with the same 15-megapixel wide-angle lens as the iPhone 4800.
The fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to be launched in the spring of next year, and the new MacBook Air is also expected to be unveiled at the same time. Apple is expected to update its Mac series next, and is expected to launch a new MacBook Pro equipped with an M4 series processor. In addition, it will also update new Mac mini, iPad mini and other products. It seems that a new smart keyboard accessory for iPad Air will also be launched at the same time.
