Gurman also reports that the base model of the smaller iPad Pro will have 32GB of storage, which is twice as much storage as the base 16GB iPad Air 2. Also, the iPad Air lineup is expected to stay and would continue to be sold at the existing price of $499 according to the report.
Apple has not updated its line of 9.7-Inch tablets since October 2014. And stylus fans can rejoice, as the new iPad will work with the Apple Pencil.
The name of the new smartphone appeared to be confirmed this week when a poster on Chinese social network Weibo published an image claiming to show the packaging for the new device.
Apple will be live streaming the keynote to iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Window users, and we’ll of course be bringing you our usual up-to-the-minute coverage of the event. It is highly unlikely that Apple will release the phone earlier, as it has always released its phones in September, like the iPhone 5, 5S, 6 and then the 6S. The event will take place at Apple’s Cupertino campus, a modest venue that holds fewer reporters and guests than other popular Apple event locations.
On Monday, March 21, at 10 a.m. PT, Apple will announce its latest product updates.
Connectivity options on the iPhone SE as per the leak include: GSM, UMTS, CDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE (FDD and TD), along with Global Positioning System and NFC (for Apple Pay support).

Apple has invited media parties to a press event for next Monday, and speculation is mounting over whether the company will launch a new iPhone, and what kind of an iPhone it’s going to be. But less than half a year later, my enthusiasm turned to remorse after Apple introduced an upgraded iPad, throwing our expectations for an annual upgrade for a loop and making my “new iPad” obsolete. It’s expected to run an A9X processor, include 32 GB of storage, 12 megapixel camera, and 4K video recording according to 9to5Mac.
