While there is no fixed date for an iPhone SE release, several of Apple's second-tier products have launched in the late March to early April window. This includes the first Apple Silicon iMacs, the M2 MacBook Pro laptops, the iPad Air 5, and more. In addition to the iPhone SE, Apple is expected to debut the iPad 11 and the iPad Air this spring.

If Blass is correct, it likely means that Apple will change its iPhone strategy and distill the lineup down to just five models: the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and iPhone SE 4. Or maybe 16E, though Blass also reports that the iPhone SE name will stick around.

The next-generation 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models will be equipped with the M3 chip, according to a private account on social media platform

The purported specifications of the iPad 11, iPhone SE 4, and 2025 iPad Air models have appeared online, and contradictions include the iPad 11 not getting Apple Intelligence support.
