There have been numerous rumors circulating about the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 4, the foldable iPhone, and the Apple AR glasses. However, a leaked roadmap has recently provided us with some insights into the potential launch dates for these highly anticipated devices.

According to reports, the highly anticipated augmented reality glasses are expected to be released in 2027. There hasn’t been much discussion about the specifications lately, as the focus has shifted to the Apple Vision Pro in the realm of AR and VR (or mixed reality, if that’s your preference). It appears that a more affordable Vision Pro will be available in 2026.
There are reports of a 20-inch iPad that is expected to be released in 2027, along with an 8-inch iPhone that will be available a year earlier. Contrary to recent rumors, it seems that the release of the foldable iPad might not be the first one. However, given that a foldable iPhone would be similar in size to an iPad mini, there could be some confusion regarding the distinction between the two products.
Additionally, there is speculation about the highly anticipated OLED MacBook potentially being released in 2026. Looking ahead to the upcoming year, there are discussions about the possibility of an iPhone SE 4. There have been rumors circulating since last month about a potential mid-range smartphone launch in early 2025. These rumors also suggest that the new device may feature a more contemporary design and an OLED display.
Regarding the upcoming devices for the remainder of this year, it appears highly likely that we will see the introduction of an 11-inch iPad Pro and a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, both equipped with OLED screens. According to industry insiders, the highly anticipated tablets are expected to be released in 2024. The launch date could be just around the corner, so it’s advisable to place your orders promptly, especially for the 11-inch version.
As with any leaks and rumors, it’s important to keep in mind that these dates may not be entirely accurate, and Apple’s plans are always subject to change. That being said, this roadmap aligns quite well with other pieces of information that have been leaked.
If Apple does indeed release new iPads in the near future, we can anticipate some exciting announcements regarding iOS 18, artificial intelligence, and Apple’s other software offerings. The event is scheduled to take place in June 2024 at WWDC, also known as the Worldwide Developers Conference.
