In late December, a private account on X with a track record of leaking accurate iOS-related information said devices codenamed “V59” and “J481” — the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11, respectively — will be released alongside iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 which are expected later this month, if historical release schedules are any guide.
Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has previously reported that “V59” is a new iPhone SE, and that “J481” is a new entry-level iPad.
iOS 15.3, iOS 16.3, and iOS 17.3 were all released in late January over the past three years, so iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 will likely be released later this month if that trend continues. If so, that means the new iPhone SE and iPad 11 could also be released this January, assuming that the leaker is accurate about these releases being coupled.
MacDailyNews Note: Apple’s next-gen iPhone SE is expected to sport a design similar to the iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch OLED display, USB-C port, FaceID capability, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, a newer A-series chip, 8GB of RAM (to support Apple Intelligence), and the first Apple-designed 5G modem.

Yawn….
UNLIKELY – 18.3 is just out in BETA 2 –
we get new Betas usually every two Weeks –
and
Betas usually go until BetaVersion #4 or #5 at least –
before we get a Release Candidate or simply get it !
So I guess, we get 18.3 just before Easter right on time
when Schools get ready to get Quotes
for the next Summer Semester Start.
No new MacPro or MacStudio. M4 has been out for nearly a year now and both those computers are still on the M2 chip. When will they be as fast as an iPad?
