Tim Cook is expected to unveil a 4-inch iPhone SE, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and new Apple Watch Bands at the “Let Us Loop You In” event on Monday, March 21. While the latter is indeed very likely to be abandoned on the next iPhone, not the same thing can be said about the home button, as Apple has put a lot of effort into improving it with the latest generations iPhones. Rumors about an iPhone Pro have been swirling around for a while, with leaks and sources saying that it could either replace the Plus or come as a new model offering additional capabilities, including the dual cameras too.

With Apple’s iPhone SE press event scheduled for this upcoming Monday, March 21st, it’s no surprise that our reports surrounding what to expect at the event make up most of our top stories this week.
Internal updates to the smaller phone could include an A9 processor (like what’s in the 6s), an 8- or 12-megapixel camera, an NFC chip for Apple Pay and hopefully a larger battery.
The event will take place at the Apple campus in Cupertino, at 10 a.m. PT. Apple does not usually presents new products in March. Everything up to this point has suggested that the iPhone SE will basically be a clone of the iPhone 5s, but a few cases seem to indicate otherwise.
These include four stereo speakers, a smart connector to go with a smart keyboard and a higher resolution screen that works with Apple’s Pencil accessory. It’s not expected to have 3D Touch, Apple’s recently debuted pressure-based screen navigation. The iPad Air 2 launched at $499 for the WiFi-only model with 16GB of internal storage, and is priced at $599 for the 64GB model and $699 for the 128GB variant.
