Weekly Apple Recap: iPhone SE Details, Invites App Launch, and iOS Warnings

This article brings you the latest updates from Apple, including news on the iPhone SE, upcoming hardware, and key software changes.

Apple is preparing to launch a new iPhone SE, likely featuring the A18 chip to support AI and future updates.

While the SE will remain a budget model, it will need to offer comparable performance to higher-end devices like the iPhone 16.

In addition, the entry-level iPad is due for its first update in over two years, with a focus on Apple Intelligence support and no major design changes.

Apple is also testing iOS 18.3.1, a smaller update designed to fix bugs, particularly for the iPhone 11 series. The urgent update addresses issues with Safari and Mail, although Apple has not confirmed the specific problem.

After Apple’s quarterly earnings report, experts gave the company mixed reviews. While improvements like the Action Button and 5X zoom were praised, concerns about the lack of a smaller phone option and unfinished software features were raised.

Apple launched a new “Invites” app to help users organize events and send invitations. Invitees on Android can access the app through a web version, while iPhone users can manage events via iCloud.

Lastly, Apple voiced concerns over a new app approved in Europe, which promotes adult content. Apple has warned that such apps pose safety risks, especially to children, and will not allow them in its official App Store.
