Apple plans to launch its upcoming Macs with AI-powered M4 chips later this year. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the Cupertino-based Tech giant is also working on a budget-friendly 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 chipset, which is expected to be introduced at the end of this year. The updated models will include iMacs, a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, and Mac minis which is expected to introduce by late this year or early 2025.

Report says, Apple can launch its 24-inch iMac with AI-powered M4 chip by end of this year. Next in the line are revamped high-end MacBook Pros in 14 inch and 16 inch display sizes, featuring M4 Pro/Max chips, supposed to be released between late 2024 or early 2025.

Also, it is expected that Apple’s Mac mini will receive both updated M4 and M4 Pro configuration. The report also reveals that Apple can introduce the new 13 inch and 15 inch MacBook around the spring 2025 time. Mark Gurman also noted that Apple has tested an M3 Ultra chip. Additionally, Apple is planning to highlight AI capabilities of the M4 chip series.

In related information, Apple is also thinking about launching and affordable iPhone SE 4 next year. Past reports also hints that the smartphone expected to feature 6.1 inch OLED screen with full HD resolution. While the correct iPhone SE is loaded with A15 Bionic chip, the phone is rumoured to feature the fastest A16 chip, found in iPhone 14 Pro and non pro models of iPhone 15.

Apple intends to release a slimmed-down iPhone model in 2025, which will be available for purchase alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to reports, the upcoming iPhone lineup will be very different in a few months. The iPhone 17 line will include a slimmer phone known as the iPhone 17 Air in addition to a new iPhone SE with Face ID. We may know more about that now, according to a recent report. According to a recent report, a new modem that was designed internally will be responsible for a large portion of the design upgrade. Mark Gurman in his recent Bloomberg's newsletter claims that the upcoming iPhone 17 "Air" will be roughly two millimeters thinner than the current iPhone 16 Pro.

An iPhone 17 that is 2 mm thinner would measure about 6.25 mm, since the iPhone 16 Pro is 8.25 mm thick. The iPhone 17 Air would be Apple's thinnest iPhone to date, measuring 6.25mm. With a 6.9mm thickness, the iPhone 6 was the thinnest model we've seen so far. With the iPhone X and later models, Apple made iPhones thicker to make room for the battery, camera lenses, Face ID hardware, and other components.

The iPhone 17 Air will be outfitted with Apple's proprietary 5G modem chip, which is smaller than Qualcomm's 5G modem chips. According to Gurman, Apple was able to create the slimmed-down iPhone 17 Air without compromising battery life, the camera, or the display quality because it concentrated on making the chip more integrated with other Apple-designed components to save space within the device.


A number of credible sources have now suggested that the iPhone 17 Air will have a thickness of approximately 6 mm, which was previously rumored to be between 5 and 6 mm. It is anticipated that the iPhone 17 Air will have a single-lens rear camera in addition to a display that is approximately 6.6 inches in size.

In addition to the iPhone SE early in the year and a low-cost iPad, the iPhone 17 Air will be one of three devices to receive a custom Apple modem chip in 2025. The extra room created by Apple's improved modem chip design may enable "new designs" like a foldable iPhone. Gurman claims that Apple is still investigating foldable iPhones. ‌

As it releases increasingly potent modem chips, Apple plans to phase out Qualcomm modems over a three-year period. In order to save more room and enable closer integration between hardware components, Apple may eventually introduce a system-on-a-chip that consists of a processor, modem, Wi-Fi chip, and other components.
