Apple's new 4-inch iPhone and iPad Air 3 are rumored to arrive on March 18th
The Apple rumor mill has been in full swing over the last month or so, with as-yet-unconfirmed March 15th event that's said to introduce a new 4-inch iPhone and the iPad Air 3. Those rumors are getting a little more concrete today, as 9to5Mac's Marc Gurman is saying that both of those products will go on sale on March 18th -- the Friday after the rumored event. Gurman's been posting reports about this event and what we might see for weeks now, and this just appears to be further evidence that the company's March plans are solidified. Of course, nothing's official yet, but Gurman's track record suggests these will be the big product introductions Apple has on tap.
Apple's smaller iPhone and new iPad tipped for March 15th event
The iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 rumors are piling up, and it looks like we won't have to wait long to get the official details. Both BuzzFeed's John Paczkowski and 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman, both of whom have solid track records when it comes to rumors, report that Apple's next event will take place on March 15th. The agenda for the soiree is said to include that long-rumored 4-inch iPhone and the new iPad Air that we got a look at yesterday. What's more, an Apple Watch software update should be discussed at the event alongside a collection of new bands. We'll know soon if the date is solid, as the official invites should be out sometime this month.
iPad Air 3 drawing hints at a smaller iPad Pro
It's February, which means we're likely just one and a half months away from the next Apple launch event -- one where we can expect a 4-inch "iPhone 6c" "iPhone 5se" and an "iPad Air 3." So what's new? Well, today we received an image that's allegedly a simple dimensional drawing of the aforementioned tablet. While we'd usually dismiss such leaks, we're siding with our reliable source on this one. Unsurprisingly, the next iPad will apparently pack a couple of features introduced by the iPad Pro: quad speakers for some nice audio boost, and a Smart Connector on the side for its very own "smart" accessories. This goes well with the earlier Pencil support rumor. What does surprise us is the extra hole below the camera, which suggests the iPad will finally be getting an LED flash. Hooray for tablet photographers!
Apple reportedly plans to launch a new iPad in March
Apple's oft-rumored March event is quickly becoming a smorgasbord... you know, a little bit of everything. Sources for 9to5Mac say that Apple now hopes to introduce a new 9.7-inch iPad as part of the mid-March gathering. Just what that tablet will do isn't clear, but tipsters suggest that it may borrow a page or two from the iPad Pro. The Cupertino crew has supposedly been testing a 9.7-inch screen with Pencil support, for one thing. There's also talk of better speakers and a rear camera flash, and it'd only make sense to get a faster processor like the iPad Pro's A9X.
