Apple March 2016 Event Schedule
Chances are that Apple will open the event talking about the iPhone SE, the iPad Air 3, new Apple Watch straps, maybe even some Macs. It’s just rumors though. We love to be kept guessing.
iPhone SE
Headlining the event will be the 4-inch iPhone SE, Apple’s first 4-inch iPhone since 2013. Joining the iPhone SE will be a new 9.7-inch iPad, a range of new Apple Watch bands, and software updates for iOS 9, watchOS 2, tvOS, and OS X El Capitan.
MacRumors’ rendering of what the SE could look like.
(If this is what it’ll look like, I’m digging it.)
While the iPhone SE may have an external design that matches the iPhone 5s, its internals are modern and up to date. It’s said to include the same A9 processor found in the iPhone 6s, along with either an 8 or 12-megapixel rear camera that supports Live Photos.
As for pricing, it the entry-level device may be priced at $400 to $500.
The iPhone 7 is only scheduled to be released in fall of 2016, but that
9.7-inch iPad
While the last two 9.7-inch iPads have been branded as the “iPad Air,” rumors suggest Apple is retiring the iPad Air line.
The new 9.7-inch iPad is said to be branded as an “iPad Pro,” joining the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Pricing on the iPad is said to start at $599 for a 32GB Wi-Fi only model, with a 128GB model and cellular models also available for purchase at higher price points.
Apple Watch Bands
Apple won’t introduce a new Apple Watch at its spring event, but we are expecting to see new Apple Watch bands. Existing bands like the Sport Band, Modern Buckle, and Leather Loop may be available in new colors, and rumors suggest Apple has been working on a new Apple Watch band made from nylon.
Software Updates
Apple has been working on software updates for Mac, iOS, Apple Watch, and Apple TV 4 since January 11, and it’s likely all four updates will be available shortly after the March event.
Apple Event Location
The Apple event and keynote will be livestreamed from their Town Hall auditorium, located at Apple’s headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, California, and you can watch it on your computer, phone, iPad, or Apple TV.
