It could be harder to tell the iPhone 15 apart from the iPhone 15 Pro later this year, as leaker Setsuna Digital on Weibo claims that both phones will have frosted glass backs for the first time.
The same leaker also claims Apple will offer cyan and deep red colors as this year's unique color options for the regular and Pro models respectively. We'd assume these will join the usual array of iPhone colors, such as black and white for the base models and silver and gold for the Pro models.
If these changes do indeed happen, it looks as if the major rumored differences remaining are the Pro's third telephoto camera on the back (possibly with a stronger periscope lens on the Pro Max), its newer and more powerful chipset, and its 120Hz ProMotion display. Those are some pretty significant differences, so we can imagine the Pro models will again be the better, and more popular, iPhone 15 models at launch.

The long-rumored iPhone SE 4 could likely be announced in 2025. While the Korean version of The Elec once again says Apple has pushed back a new iPhone SE from 2024 to 2025, this time, the blame is not on the Cupertino firm’s in-house chip development but its supplier BOE which can’t produce satisfactory OLED panels.
In addition, Kuo says the iPhone SE 4 will feature a similar design to the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, meaning it will have the same design, a smaller notch, and an OLED display. Currently, Apple uses the same design as the 2017 iPhone 8 for the iPhone SE 3.

In the subscribers-only section of his weekly newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman (who has reported accurately on new Apple hardware in the past) claims that Apple will introduce an external Mac monitor that can act as a smart home display when a Mac goes to sleep or is shut down.
The feature would be available on at least one monitor in an upcoming lineup that will likely include successors to Apple's Pro Display XDR and Studio Display. The newsletter didn't go into much detail about the upcoming displays beyond the smart home feature.

Like the Studio Display, a new monitor with smart home capabilities would run on a chip first seen in the iPhone. The Studio Display contains Apple's A13 chip—the same seen in the iPhone 11 line of smartphones. The upcoming smart display could potentially run on the A16 seen in the iPhone 14 Pro, since that device introduced a similar always-on display feature to Apple's smartphone lineup.

If you were disappointed that Apple Vision Pro costs only $3,500 and have money burning a hole in your pocket, a customizer has a $40,000 treat for you with gold trim and a leather head mount.
Someone is going to buy this. The Caviar company is hoping that 24 people will, for that's how many it plans to make of the Caviar Apple Vision Pro in a limited edition.
The company is also keen to emphasise that with its help Vision Pro is even more privacy-minded than ever. And that's specifically about what people around the wearer see, once they've finished forming an opinion about someone wearing $40,000 worth of gold on their faces.

According to the Financial Times, figures suggest Apple is only ordering parts for as few as 130,000 to 400,000 of their mixed reality glasses in 2024 – less than 10% of some of Wall Street's more optimistic estimates.
The revolutionary Vision Pro glasses were announced to the world with massive fanfare at last month's WWDC, though Apple was no more precise than "Early next year" when announcing the $3,500 / £2,750 / AU$5,250 glasses. Even that might prove too ambitious, some warn, based on this new report.
Other Apple-watcher are taking a more relaxed stance, pointing out the higher-than-expected price was a clear indicator that Apple was already attempting to control demand since these quality control and parts issues were expected.
