Apple's spring event: that could be introduced
Every year Apple organizes a spring event to usher in the new product year. The first product announcements of the Apple year are not associated with a larger event, such as the launch of the new iPhones. Last year, the new iPad Pro models and the accompanying Magic Keyboard were only “revealed” with a press release. Whichever way the new products are announced, we should not keep an eye on March this year, but on April.
Apple’s spring event probably in April
While some leakers like Jon Prosser, Kang and the lesser known leaker Ihacktu on Twitter announced that Apple could hold an event on March 23, the iPhone manufacturer seems to be targeting April. In addition to Mark Gurman, who is expecting new iPad Pros in April, Prosser has also changed his mind. He thinks Apple has purposefully distributed information about a March event.
If the Apple event in April Should take place, it should again be held virtually like the last events in view of the ongoing corona pandemic. But what could Apple have in store?

April should include a new generation of the Bringing forth iPad Pro, which was last updated in March 2020. Visually, the 2021 model may not differ from the current version – innovations in terms of the display and the processors are to be expected.
According to rumors, Apple should at least install a mini-LED display in the large 12.9-inch model of the Pro tablet. Screen technology brings many advantages of OLED displays, including energy-saving local dimming and a large color space. The well-known Oled disadvantages such as branding should not exist. In addition, mini-LED displays could enable lighter and thinner components and a higher contrast.
The new one is likely to continue iPad Pro generation optionally receive a 5G modem in order to adapt them to the wireless standards of the iPhone 12 series. An A14X-Bionic-Chip is used as the processor. It is said to be a higher-performance variant of the A14 bionic chip that is installed in the iPhone 12 models and the iPad Air 4. Apple took a similar approach with the previous iPad Pros. In addition, the new Pro models should get a Thunderbolt connection.

Is there also a new iPad Mini coming?

In addition to the Pro models, Apple could have a new edition his iPad Mini, which was last updated in 2019. It was first forecast by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in May 2020. With the update, the smallest iPad should get a larger display and could grow from a 7.9-inch to an 8.4-inch diagonal. With regard to the design, no major changes should be expected with the upcoming iPad Mini like the iPad Air 4. It keeps the Touch ID button under the screen and the Lightning connector, it says.

New airtags and airpods in the race

If you believe Prosser, Apple should have more products ready for a launch. Among other things, the Gagdet trackers Airtags, which have been expected for years, are a candidate for the spring event. The airtags, which are no larger than a two-euro piece, should be able to be attached to cases or key fobs using the appropriate accessories. It was last expected to be presented in November 2020. Ultimately, the focus was on the new Macs with the in-house chips.

Products that are ready: AirTags, iPad Pro, AirPods, Apple TV
Take that however you’d like …

In addition to the iPads and Airtags, a new generation of Airpods is also ready to come onto the market. The third edition of the earplugs should be optically and in terms of their construction more based on the current Pro models, but still offer no active noise suppression. Thanks to the silicone ear pieces, they should sit better and more firmly in the ears than the previous Airpods.

Apple could also use the Pro version with active noise cancellation in the first Reissue half of the year. According to reports, they are set to become more compact and completely lose their stem, which could tend to resemble Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro. It is questionable whether the new Airpods will be shown in April.

New Apple TV with gaming focus

Prosser is convinced that Apple’s new edition of the set -Top box Apple TV is ready. Like the Airtags, the TV box has been expected to be presented for months. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether Apple will present the product in the first or second half of 2021.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman assumes that the new set-top box should have a stronger gaming focus than the last generation – presumably to strengthen the Apple Arcade platform. There is also talk of a new remote control and a more powerful processor.
Is an iPhone SE 3 coming?
As the last possible Product for the spring event, rumors are circulating about a new edition of the iPhone SE (2020). The Japanese blog Macotakara recently reported on such a product. However, the article did not provide any details about the equipment.

Whether Apple’s cheap SE model once wants to renew each year is definitely questionable. After all, the group let four years pass between the first and second generation. However, the idea of a larger version with a 5.5-inch screen, which Apple has been working on for a long time, would be conceivable.
As a rule, the announcements during the spring event are relatively manageable. We do not assume that Apple will introduce all of these products. However, at least the Airpods and possibly new iMacs with a major redesign should be presented in the coming months. If the Airpods do not make it into the first Apple event of the year, we will tap a release by May at the latest.
