Apple is expected to unveil a low-cost 5G iPhone and an updated iPad around March according to recent reports.
The next iPhone, according to the claim, will be the first update to the iPhone SE model in two years. It will also have a faster processor, a better camera, and 5G network capabilities.
In October, Apple revealed two new MacBook Pro models, both of which are equipped with more powerful in-house processors.
The event would be Apple’s first since announcing new MacBook Pro computers in October 2021. According to Bloomberg, the launch will be a virtual broadcast.
Since the Covid-19 epidemic began in March 2020, Apple has hosted virtual events.
The iPhone SE, which was debuted in the spring of 2020 and costs $399, is Apple’s latest low-cost iPhone. It has Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which is the most latest iPhone model. According to the rumour, the new model could have the same design as the original, but with a speedier processor and 5G capabilities.
According to the source, the new iPad will be an improved version of the iPad Air. That device was last updated in October 2020, and it costs $599.
During the December quarter, Apple’s iPad division was the only major product line to show decreased sales. Slowing sales of a $329 iPad targeted at schools and volume buyers were the biggest cause of the company’s fall, according to Apple.
Low-cost smartphone debuts are less crucial to Apple than its customary fall launches, which show more expensive and profitable high-end iPhone models ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Apple may plan the event to coincide with the release of iOS 15.4, the most recent version of the iPhone software.
IOS 15.4 is presently being tested in beta. It’s likely to have a number of new capabilities, including the ability to unlock the device using facial recognition while wearing a mask, as well as new emoji.
