Apple could launch a new iPhone SE and PowerBeats Pro 2 on February 11
According to 11 February, Apple could launch a new iPhone SE and PowerBeats Pro headphones, according to Report from Bloomberg. The announcement is probably on the smaller side, since the company has not yet issued invitations for a personal or virtual event.
A new iPhone SE would mark the fourth generation of Apple’s more budget -oriented handset, as well as the first in the line released since 2022. At the time, the third -generation device, which was part of the larger iPhone 13 portfolio, wore a price tag of $ 429 and functions that are comparable to the iPhone 8, including a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. That product has already been stopped in the EU because of its lightning gate, which does not comply with ordinary legislation for charger directive.
Just as with the rest of the Apple product line, a new iPhone SE would almost certainly wear a USB-C port. The rumor is that the handset resembles the iPhone 14 line, which arrived months after the last SE. The renewal is probably the official end of the Touch ID start button of the iPhone, because the function is replaced by Face ID Biometrics.
In particular, it is assumed that the fourth-gene iPhone SE Apple Intelligence is compatible, with all iPhone 16 models and the iPhone 15 Pro. It could also be the first device that an in-house modem built an Apple, because the company continues to reduce its dependence on third-party chip makers such as Qualcomm.
The new SE is expected to see great acceptance outside the US, in particular in China and India, which are currently in the first and second largest smartphone markets in the world. China has long been an important market for Apple, although the company has struggled in the country in the past quarters. During the last income report, it appeared that the sale of the iPhone in China has fallen on an annual basis 11%.
That decrease was largely due to the continuous growth of domestic manufacturers, including Huawei, who has been restored after commercial restrictions imposed during the first Trump administration. In the game, the fact that Apple Intelligence, the company’s answer to generative AI, is currently not available in China.
Apple is supposed to announce the PowerBeats Pro 2 with the iPhone SE. The headphones of Beats would arrive almost six years after the first generation product. The new Bluetooth ear tops are expected to be the first headphones with an Apple brand with built-in heart rate followings, because the company wants to grow its portable health initiative outside the Apple Watch.
Later this year, Apple is expected to change M4 to the MacBook Air and iPad Air, together with a long gerumed addition to the smart home of the company. The new Home Hub would contain a display and can also mark the first step of Apple in consumer robotics. However, none of these products are expected for the launch of 11 February.
