The hearsay have taken over social media and the media and are still a new battle to generate the correct story. Without a doubt, the one who best handles these analyses is Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman. However, there are many other anonymous users who publish quality information about the ins and outs that move in Cupertino and, in many cases, it is quality information and later becomes reality. A recent rumor published a few hours ago announced the launch of the next iPhone SE 4 and the iPad 11 in January, but Gurman has flatly denied that this is the timeline Apple will follow.
Battle for the narrative: Gurman denies that the iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 will arrive in January
A few hours ago a tweet was published on the social network X by a well-known Apple news leaker who claimed that iPhone SE 4 and iPad 11 will arrive with iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3. Based on the evolution of betas and Apple's history of releases, these new versions are expected to arrive at the end of January. This would mean that, according to this rumour, these two new devices would also be released at the end of January.
Yes, the new iPads and iPhone SE replacement are being developed on the iOS 18.3 train – but that doesn't mean they launch together this month. It means they'll launch before iOS 18.4, by April if all goes to plan. https://t.co/qaMSH1ImSW
