With the launch of Apple Intelligence, Apple is expected to introduce all of its upcoming products, including entry-level devices such as the next-generation iPhone SE 4, standard iPad models, and more with the latest generation chipset.
As per a leak from Ice Universe, a credible Apple-related news leaker, the most expected features of the fourth generation iPhone SE could be announced by next year, based on a modern design reminiscent of the iPhone 14, as it comprises Face ID and USB-C.
Moreover, the new iPhone SE will be powered by the A18 chip, with around 6GB or 8GB of RAM.
The chip will also power the entire iPhone 16 lineup, including the older models and is likely to feature a new neural processing unit (NPU), called Neural Engine by Apple, to run artificial intelligence features.

Previously, both Pro and non-Pro models had the same chip, however, since iPhone 14, Apple has started to further distinguish the Pro models by keeping the new chip exclusive to the expensive versions only.
Additionally, the leak also suggests that Apple is currently working on a HomePod model that might come with an A18 chip. In this way, the HomePod could be the first Apple Home device to get Apple Intelligence features.
Apple could also update the entry-level iPad models and the new generation iPad Mini with the latest chip.
In this way, to generate images, summarise notifications, and use upgraded Siri and ChatGPT you won't have to buy an expensive device like the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Instead, you’ll be able to get them by having lower-priced devices that are powered by the iPhone SE 4.
