Apple is reportedly considering a date on or near March 8 to hold a spring event for a new iPhone SE<\/a>, an updated iPad, and potentially a new Mac. <\/p>\n

\n

The potential spring event date is not set in stone, but sources told<\/a> Bloomberg<\/em> that Apple is targeting a day around March 8 for its next virtual event. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the publication cautioned that production delays or other changes could force Apple to switch the date of the event. March 8 is a Tuesday, which is a day of the week that Apple historically holds new product launches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During the event, Apple is largely expected to debut a new iPhone SE 3 and refreshed iPad Air<\/a>. The iPhone is rumored to share a similar design to previous iPhone SE models, but will pack a faster A15 chipset and 5G connectivity. The iPad Air is also getting an A15 chip and 5G, Bloomberg<\/em> reported. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Although the 2022 iPhone SE model will be a muted update, reports suggest that a more significant overhaul of the lower-cost iPhone could take place in 2024<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bloomberg<\/em> claims that Apple could also release a new Mac model with an Apple Silicon chip, though the publication did not add any additional detail. Apple is thought to be working on a new 27-inch iMac Pro<\/a> device. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Additionally, the sources told the publication that Apple’s iOS 15.4, which includes Face ID support for masks and Universal Control, could arrive in the first half of March. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If the March 8 date does pan out, Apple will likely send out media invites to the keynote about a week before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
