Even though the rumor mill is not expecting Apple to unveil a second generation model for Apple Watch, there is a possibility that the Cupertino company may introduce Apple Watch 2 on March 21, Phone Arena reported. Hence, the upcoming smartphone will be nearly the same as the iPhone 6, but only fitted into a 4-inch form factor.
Rumours of a 4-inch iPhone had been rife ever since the company unveiled the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which featured display sizes larger than 4-inches for the first time. This device is believed to also come with an A9 processor, which is actually now found on the iPhone 6s.
The new smaller iPad Pro and iPad Air are also likely to be announced at the event. Along with various hardware updates – which are said to include a 4K display, 4GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage and improved speakers – the device will reportedly have a Smart Connector. Many users are not happy with another rumor about the removal of the headphone jack from the new iPhone to make the phone thinner.
A year ago in March, Apple revealed the Apple Watch to the world. The iPhone SE will not be supporting the 3D touch feature. The iPad Air 3 is also expected to come out with a 3.5mm jack (amid rumors of Apple deciding to drop it). The insides will be up-to-date and match the performance of an iPhone 6S.
Federal authorities want Apple’s help in over-riding security features on an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters, so the FBI can attempt to examine the phone.
Similarly, Apple has been trying to boost sagging iPad sales by offering more sizes and models.
