yes we have seen Apple announce things in December but that's not the usual Norm at this point we're out of possible devices left to expect so it's time to focus on 2025 this year has been pretty interesting for Apple we've seen the company drift hard at uh the idea of Apple intelligence and I say that because uh a lot of the things won't really be ready until next year what's interesting though is that uh the rumors for next year include an allnew device and some very much needed updates to a couple of the others I'm he r with pocket now and let's do a final Deep dive on what to expect from Apple in 2025 and everything else that's not the typical predictable let's begin today with a

product that's completely unexpected we've been hearing of Apple working on a sort of homepod with a screen but it might just be that uh these are sort of more than just one product app is reportedly working on an all new smart home hub with a possible launch date around March 2025 reports claim that this device will feature a compact 6-in touchscreen that can be mounted on a tabletop base but then has a built-in speaker sort of like what we see with the Google pixel tablet or it can directly be mounted on a wall making it versatile for various home setups I don't even know if detachable but the Hub is expected to run a fresh operating system dubbed home OS designed for managing smart home devices the system

will have a widget-based interface offering customizable options to display what matters most such as the weather schedules and home controls now one standout feature will be proximity sensors which intend to detect how far the user is from the screen and adjust the size of the widgets accordingly for better visibility it will integrate seamlessly with Siri and apple intelligence for voice and predictive assistance The Hub could also double as a home security Center allowing uh camera feeds for security systems as well additionally a built-in camera will then allow users to make FaceTime video calls right from the device adding another layer of functionality to its home management tool and listen home

hubs aren't new we just saw Amazon launch one last year though in a far more simple approach to the concept at this point the biggest question will be what Apple plans to charge for its functionality because for anything smart home to take off seriously if it's too expensive it's just going to be DOA now let's uh switch to iPhone as uh there will still be a device that we've been waiting for and rumors point to it finally making an appearance in 2025 Apple reportedly plans to launch the iPhone se4 in March and it's shaping up to be a big leap forward from the budget friendly device we've known first of all the design is not really what we've heard for a bit it'll reportedly be a

mirror of the iPhone 14 featuring a 6.1in OLED display which is uh the first major departure from a past full of LCD panels face ID is expected to replace the older Touch ID as well so those of you wanting to keep the home button might just get used to the modern iPhone experience at this point under the hood the iPhone se4 will likely include Apple's first in-house 5G modem a significant milestone in reducing Reliance on Qualcomm even if we're not expecting this device to be a major seller meaning it might not really make a dent in the relationship just yet while it's unclear how this modem will compare to qualcomm's in performance it promises a better integration with

Apple's ecosystem other rumored upgrades include a 48 megapixel rear camera for sharper photos 8 GB of RAM to support apple intelligence features and USBC port for faster charging and data transfers also yeah if uh we're talking Apple intelligence it might be safe to assume that it'll bring Apple's a17 Pro or a18 chips as part of the show and sadly the thing is all these changes sound like a catalyst for price changes from the current 429 so uh we'll see how the company ends up handling it I think if people wanted an expensive iPhone there's enough for them to choose from already but then because of the segmentation that Apple intelligence has built around buying older iPhones this

year it could just be that the iPhone se4 is here to actually save that separation with a more affordable option that's compatible now believe it or not the next product on this list as possible changes to air tags which yeah was totally off my radar I use them every day but uh they do such a good job at blending into the environment that I totally forget that I have them or need them until I do true I'd love for a smaller design footprint but anyways it seems that Apple plans to refresh air tag trackers in mid 2025 the second generation air tag is rumored to include an updated Ultra wideband chip which debuted in the iPhone 15 Series this new chip could enhance location track making

the air tag more precise and capable at working over greater distances in response to privacy concerns apple is making the built-in speaker more tamperproof which will make it harder for malicious actors to disable it this change will help the tur stalking and misuse of the device Additionally the new Air tag is expected to offer better range and better efficiency there speculation that the updated air tag will have deeper integration with apple Vision Pro with which uh yeah your guess is as good as mine as to what four the only problem I see is that we don't hear of any possible design changes in this generation which uh is a total bummer I do feel that it would have been great to get like a mini version of it but uh

let's switch the iPads as it seems that spring 2025 will bring earlier updates than expected to the iPad Air lineup and I'm talking both the 11 and 13-in models while the devices might not receive a dramatic redesign they are expected to feature Apple's newer M4 chips or maybe even an M3 offering improved performance for tests like multitasking and Graphics heavy applications like the current updates that we found with Final Cut Pro now accompanying the updated iPads will likely be a refreshed magic keyboard accessory this new version could borrow features from the iPad Pro's latest one it's not necessarily what I'd call as thinner or lighter but I do love the larger glass track pad and an aluminum

palest for added durability a row of function keys might also be included allowing quick access to shortcuts from brightness volume and other settings oddly I still find the detachable keyboard on the base entry level model to be my favorite but that's just me but then speaking of that model yeah it also is due for a refresh in early 2025 and even more so with the launch of Apple intelligence while no major design changes are expected this base iPad could gain a new a series chip to enable AI features and most likely an increase the 8 gigs of RAM not sure if this will be the A7 17 Pro or a 18 but whatever the case may be it'll be welcomed obviously Apple intelligence is expected

to make its full launch in March 2025 so you better believe that the launch of these products will most likely be tied to that announcement but then last but not least let's talk about MacBooks as the airs saww it's refreshed to M3 at around March 2024 so yeah it could just be that apple is preparing one major launch for multiple products at the time it's not hard to speculate culate that the MacBook Air will also see a refresh around March or earlier and uh most likely with Apple's latest M4 chip unless this ends up being the launch platform for Apple's M5 it's hard to tell cuz no one was expecting M4 to launch on the iPad pro this year so it could just be we do also hear of a possible change in design which is not

common for Apple reports mention possible thinner bezels improve displays with higher brightness and color accuracy and enhance battery life not sure if this means mini LED is reaching the air or hey even a possible OLED but the prospect seems like a great idea Apple may also introduce new color options to refresh the lineup's visibility as always the MacBook Air is expected to remain the favored for students and professionals who value portability without sacrificing power and yeah colors are a big deal for that demographic all we have to do now is wait and see as I still wish Apple would revive the 12-in MacBook with an M series chip and just call that the air but that's just me to conclude yeah the

plans seem to be very packed a new Apple home hub new iPhone SE new air tags new iPads and even a new Mac we do hear that apple is now more focused on launching products when they're ready and not on specific cycle so it's hard to predict if this will be one launch or if these will happen separately whatever the case may be I'll admit that I like this idea I like everything that I see except for this uh s E4 not being an iPhone Mini let me know what you think about the rest in the comments down below and while added follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one you can also follow me on my personal handles to see me seriously wish that we had another mini
