The iPhone SE: A Familiar Design with Modern Upgrades

As we've heard several times before, the new iPhone SE is expected to look pretty much just like the 2020 version. The device has been remodeled after the iPhone 8, and it's likely that this design will be retained for the 2022 model. However, there are some key upgrades that make this phone stand out from its predecessors. According to rumors, the new iPhone SE will feature a faster A15 chip, which is the same processor found in the iPhone 13 series. This means that the phone will have some of the most advanced processing power available on the market.

The display on the new iPhone SE is also expected to be improved, with a 4.7-inch LCD screen and thick bezels. The phone will still feature a Touch ID home button, making it Apple's most modern iPhone to include this biometric authentication method. Other iPhones have already transitioned to Face ID, but the iPhone SE will stick with Touch ID for now. On the back of the device, we can expect glass construction that facilitates wireless charging. However, unlike some other recent Apple devices, the new iPhone SE will not feature MacSafe technology.

One area where the phone is expected to improve significantly is in its durability. The iPhone SE will have an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, which means it can withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This level of protection is a significant upgrade over previous models, making the iPhone SE a great option for anyone who wants a reliable phone that can handle rough handling.

Despite some design updates, battery life on the new iPhone SE is unlikely to change significantly. The phone's battery size and overall performance will remain largely the same as the 2020 model. This could be a disappointment for some users who were hoping for improved battery life in a new device. However, it's worth noting that the A15 chip should provide faster performance and more efficient battery usage.

Camera Upgrades and Pricing

The iPhone SE is also expected to feature an updated camera system, with improvements over the current single-lens 12-megapixel rear camera and 7-megapixel front-facing camera. While we don't know all the details of these upgrades yet, it's clear that Apple is putting a lot of emphasis on improving the phone's photography capabilities.

In terms of pricing, the new iPhone SE will likely start at $399, which is the same price as the current 2020 model. This makes the iPhone SE an attractive option for anyone who wants a compact and powerful phone without breaking the bank.

The iPad Air: A Modern Upgrade with a Familiar Design

When it comes to the iPad Air, Apple is taking a similar approach to the iPhone SE. The new iPad Air will feature an updated A-series chip and 5G connectivity, but unlike the iPhone SE, we're not expecting any major design changes. The current iPad Air model features a 10.9-inch display with slim bezels and a Touch ID power button on the top.

One key upgrade that we can expect to see is an improved camera system. While the current iPad Air has a single-lens rear camera, rumors suggest that the new model will feature a dual-camera setup with improved image quality. We also know that the front-facing camera will be updated to include a 12-megapixel sensor with Center Stage support.

The display on the new iPad Air is expected to remain largely unchanged, but we might see some tweaks to the screen's brightness and color accuracy. The phone will still feature USB-C connectivity and a range of color options, including Space Gray, Silver, Green, Rose Gold, and Sky Blue.

New Macs in the Pipeline

In addition to the iPhone SE and iPad Air, Apple has several new Mac models in the pipeline that are powered by M2 chips. These include refreshes of the MacBook Air, entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pros, a 24-inch iMac, and an entry-level Mac mini.

While we don't know all the details about these new Macs yet, it's clear that Apple is putting a lot of emphasis on upgrading its lineup with faster and more efficient chips. The M2 chip offers significant improvements over previous models, including improved performance and power efficiency.

OWC's Envy Pro FX: A Fast and Rugged Drive

Finally, let's take a look at OWC's new drive, the Envy Pro FX. This ultra-rugged drive is designed to be used with a wide range of devices, including Macs, Windows PCs, Chromebooks, and even iPads. The Envy Pro FX features Thunderbolt connectivity and boasts blazing-fast speeds, making it an ideal option for audio and video professionals.

One of the standout features of the Envy Pro FX is its durability. The drive's aluminum housing makes it resistant to damage from drops and other forms of rough handling. It's also waterproof, with a rating of IP67. This means that you can use the Envy Pro FX in a variety of environments without worrying about it getting damaged.

Overall, the new iPhone SE and iPad Air offer some exciting upgrades for Apple fans. Whether you're looking for improved cameras, faster performance, or more durable designs, there's something on this list for everyone.

even gave us the date of march 8th of when apple is planning to hold this virtual event now apple is planning to announce a few things at this event like a new iphone se and ipad air models which will both feature an a15 chip and 5g support so let's start with what we can expect out of the 2022 iphone se as we have heard several times before the new iphone se will look pretty much just like the 2020 version which is basically remodeled after the iphone 8 but it will feature a faster a series chip likely the a15 and 5g technology and it's important to note that the a15 is the chip that's found in the um iphone 13 so it is going to be up to date in terms of processor it'll feature a 4.7 inch lcd display with thick bezels and that touch id home button making it apple's most modern iphone that still offers touch id all other iphones have already transitioned to face id and there are rumors that future versions of the low-cost iphone will in fact do so as well but not this time the back of the device will be made of glass to facilitate wireless charging but it won't include mac safe technology like the older models the new iphone sc will feature an ip67 water and dust resistance rating and we're also not expecting any real changes to battery life given the lack of design updates so battery life or most likely the battery size will more or less be the same when the 2020 iphone se was released it included the same a13 chip that had been used in the iphone 11 models that prior september so again we can see the same situation in 2022 where the iphone sc will be adopting the new a15 chip the iphone se is expected to feature an updated camera and it could adopt the latest wide-angle camera from the iphone 13. now we don't know the specifics at this time but camera improvements are planned the current iphone sc features a 7 megapixel front-facing camera and a single lens 12 megapixel camera the 2020 iphone sc is also expected to be priced at 3.99 or at least that's the starting price which is the same asking price as the current 2020 model now switching gears and going to the ipad air the ipad air will also feature an updated a series chip and 5g connectivity but again just like the se it's not expected to feature any major new design changes the new ipad air will have the same overall design as the current model including a single lens camera on the back now the current ipad air was released back in october of 2020 and it features a 10.9 inch display with slim bezels and a touch id power button but that's on the top and a usbc port with color options including space gray silver green rose gold and sky blue and so we can probably expect to see this new ipad air be pretty similar in almost all of those aspects to the 2020 model but again should feature an updated chip as well as a updated 12 megapixel ultra wide front-facing camera with center stage support that 5g connectivity and quad led true tone flash german has said apple also plans to launch at least one new mac this spring but it's unclear if that mac would be introduced at apple's event now apple has at least four new macs powered by m2 chips in its pipeline including refresh models of the macbook air entry-level 13-inch macbook pros 24-inch imac and an entry-level mac mini it's likely these macs will launch later in the year after apple finishes releasing its final max with m1 pro and m1 max chips of course i'd love to know your thoughts on everything in the comments down below the event is pretty much one month out at this point uh do you believe that the event will have more than just a spec bump iphone sc and ipad air hopefully so i think a new mac mini and imac would make a lot of sense in my opinion in order to give what would seem like a pretty underwhelming event a bigger splash but of course i'd love to know your thoughts down in those comments now before we end today's video i do want to give you more information about
