Current replacements for my Apple devices.

• Watch
• Current: Apple Watch Series 7, 45mm (Jul 2022) [$394 including tax]
• Current Replacement: Apple Watch SE3, 44mm (2025) [$279 + tax, about $307, no AppleCare]
• Here we go for cheapest Apple Watch which at this point is fairly good.
• Phone
• Current: iPhone SE 3rd gen (replaced Dec 2024) [$615 with AppleCare and tax]
• Current Replacement: iPhone 16e, 128 GB (2025) [$599 + tax, about $659, no AppleCare]
• Again cheapest replacement since even that is fairly good.
• Tablet
• Current: iPad Pro 10.5", 256 GB (Sep 2017) [$1202 with tax]
• Current Replacement: iPad mini (2024) + Smart Folio [$558 + tax, about $614, no AppleCare]
• Alternate: iPad Air 11" 128 GB (2025) + Magic Keyboard [$868 + tax, about $955, no AppleCare]
• A smaller iPad would be nice which means a mini, but an Mx also nice so that an Air.
• Computer
• Current: MacBook Pro 14" M4 Pro, 24/512 (Nov 2024), 4 TB external SSD [$2235 with tax no AppleCare]
• Current Replacement: (Same) [$1999 + tax, about $2199, no AppleCare]
• M5 Macs coming out soon but for now I'm happy with my current MBP so I'd replace with same. I suspect M5 would not be much of an upgrade.

For the future:

• 2026 - replace iPad
• 2028 - replace Apple Watch
• 2030 - replace iPhone
• 2032 - replace MBP

Maybe unrealistic as an 8 year replacement cycle means each device is obsolete (in Apple terms, which means no more support) by the time it's time to replace. And of course probably very underpowered for current apps.

2025-10-15: M5 announced. MBP 14" M5 (no Pro/Max models, I guess next year) so I think another MacBook Pro 14" M4 Pro, 24/512 as replacements is fine (and although I wanted a bit more memory because of the internals you can only go to 48 GB memory which is then too much). iPad Pro with M5 do that doesn't change my tablet replacement. Vision Pro M5 though for now it's too pricey to have as a fifth Apple device.
