M4-equipped MacBook Air may debut alongside an upgrade to one of Apple's less-focused products
In the world of technology, Apple continues to make waves with its latest devices and upcoming launches. Here's a rundown of what we know so far about the M4 MacBook Air, the iPhone SE 4, and other Apple products.
The M4 MacBook Air: Already Here, Still Shining
The M4 MacBook Air, Apple's newest MacBook model, was released earlier this year. Despite rumours suggesting a potential new launch this month, there's no new MacBook Air release expected this fall or in late 2025, as Apple’s next MacBook Pro with M5 chips has been delayed until early 2026.
Key features of the M4 MacBook Air include a 15.3-inch display option alongside the 13-inch model, powered by Apple's M4 chip offering a good balance of performance and battery life. It starts at a lower price point ($999–$1,199) and is available with up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD in higher configurations. However, it should be noted that it does not feature ProMotion display, a feature exclusive to MacBook Pro models.
This fall, the M4 MacBook Air will continue to receive marketing focus, especially alongside the macOS Tahoe update featuring a Liquid Glass design overhaul that enhances user experience, particularly for newcomers transitioning from iPhones or iPads.
The iPhone SE 4: Springtime Anticipation
Regarding the iPhone SE 4, there are no direct search results providing a confirmed release date or detailed features as of August 2025. However, based on typical Apple release patterns, the next iPhone SE 4 release might be anticipated around a spring 2026 event.
New SE models typically feature updated processors, improved cameras, and possibly design refreshes while maintaining an entry-level price point and form factor aimed at budget-conscious users. Leaked images suggest the iPhone SE 4 will have a larger display with a notch, and it's likely to get a chip upgrade, most likely the A18 chip, and 8GB of RAM. The device is also expected to feature a complete redesign, ditching the home button and adopting a design similar to the iPhone 14.
