Apple is also expected to unveil the iPad Air 3. The latest rumor has the Cupertino, Calif., company taking the wraps off a new 4-inch phone in March that will revive the smaller design of 2013 iPhones.

Mark Gurman writes, “As the scheduled event is still a month-and-a-half away, the date could conceivably still shift or turn into an online announcement”.
Furthermore, Apple fans expect that iPhone 7 should have some serious changes rather than more clandestine upgrades like iPhone 6S. He added that if a 4-inch device is circulated, there are chances that it will become obsolete quite quickly as the release of the new iPhone 7 is nearly upon in September.
9to5Mac also claimed the new iPhone 5SE might not have a 3D Touch display but will contain an A9 chip, improved cameras, and support for Apple Pay support. The iPhone 5SE, then, is a serious piece of hardware with current generation processors. New bands and software for the Apple Watch are likely as well. For those of you that absolutely must take pictures with your tablets – usually in the most annoying ways possible – Apple will reportedly include an LED flash for the rear camera. This is so because Apple is a company that doesn’t pander to its users’ whims and instead produces products by the reasoning that in the end it has its customers’ best interests at heart and knows what they want better than they do.
Gurman believes the 5se would replace the 5s – which Apple still sells – and retain its retail price, which in Australia is $749 for the 16GB version and $829 for the 32GB.
Rumors of a March 15 event come just a week after Apple announced a record quarter for sales and profits, but one that also saw slowing iPhone sales growth.
The iPad Air 3 would, if our thinking here proves to be accurate, work with its own full-sized keyboard that attaches like the iPad Pro’s, working with its own Smart Connector as such.

It has been a while since Apple updated its iPad Air line up of tablets, with the iPad Air 2 over a year old since its release in October 2014.
