Expected to be out next month at the Apple event is the new line of iPad Pros, which will be accompanied by a 128 GB iPhone SE and new red colored iPhone 7 and 7 Plus units, Mac Otakara reported.

As for other products on the agenda, Apple will also roll out three new iPad models. This is the iPad mini size, and the report was unclear about whether this new smaller iPad Pro would replace iPad mini or augment Apple’s entry level tablet.
Earlier rumors suggest that the 12.9-inch and 10.5-inch models will feature a faster A10X processor, with the 9.7-inch version keeping the A9X chip. Finally there’s a new 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Previously, there were speculations that Apple would not refresh its 4-inch iPhone SE, which comes in 16GB and 64GB storage options.
According to Fortune, Apple is planning to hold an event sometime in March for members of the media. Apple now offers the 4-inch smartphone with 16GB and 64GB capabilities. Apparently, the 10.5-inch model may not get shipped until May, while the other sizes are ready to ship in March. However, according to new report, a Barclays analyst seems to support this possibility, leading to further confirmation that a red 7 and/or 7 Plus may be in the near future. Those sources said that sources said that shipments of the 10.5-inch iPad will reach two million units in the first quarter of 2017, and may reach 5-6 million in the year. The rumor mill now points to a complete refresh of the iPad lineup with new features, new sizes, and more.
Digitimes counters that there will not be an iPad Pro Mini as the 10.5-inch edge-to-edge display fits the same form factor as the mini. In December previous year, Mac Otakara reported that Apple was working on red iPhones.
Keep an eye out for Apple to send out invites to its spring iPad event.

The 7.9-inch model will feature a 12-megapixel iSight camera with TrueTone LED flash, the report claims. But it is not the only renewal we would see in March, as it also indicates that it would announce a red iPhone 7, thus expanding the current range of colors of the iPhone 7, as well as an iPhone SE with larger storage.
