Apple is expected to launch a new iPhone SE and PowerBeats Pro 2 headphones on February 11, with a relatively low-key announcement since no official event invites have been issued. The fourth-generation iPhone SE is rumored to feature a USB-C port, resemble the iPhone 14, and support Apple Intelligence while possibly incorporating an in-house modem to reduce reliance on Qualcomm. The device is expected to perform well in markets like China and India, though Apple has struggled in China due to competition from domestic brands like Huawei and the absence of Apple Intelligence in the region. The PowerBeats Pro 2, arriving nearly six years after the original, could be Apple’s first headphones with built-in heart rate tracking, expanding its wearable health technology. Later in the year, Apple is expected to refresh its MacBook Air and iPad Air with M4 chips and introduce a new smart home device with a display, possibly marking its entry into consumer robotics.
