Apple could be preparing one of its famous keynotes for March 15th. This is how Mark Gurman, famous for his correct predictions in the past, has published it. This Apple presentation would not be focused on the iPhone 7, since the apple's flagship is usually presented in September. At this event those from Cupertino could present two new products: the iPad Air 3 and the iPhone 5se.
According to all rumors, the famous apple tablet could be renewed again in just over a month. March 15 could be chosen for the presentation of the iPad Air 3. Although not much information is known about the new Apple tablet, rumors suggest that it could inherit many features from the current iPad Pro. For example, some leaked schematics claim that the iPad Air 3 will have 4 speakers, just like the iPad Pro.
Another common feature with the largest of the family would be the Smart Connector. It is a magnetic connector that carries data and current and is used to connect accessories. Apple introduced it to the iPad Pro to be able to connect the Magic Keyboard.
If the rumors are confirmed, one of the great novelties that the iPad Air 3 could incorporate would be a screen with 4K resolution.
The possible incorporation of a 4K screen would require the incorporation of a more powerful processor, as well as an increase in RAM and battery. Some rumors indicate that the next iPad Air could house 4 GB of RAM, compared to 2 GB of memory that the current model has. Although there is no data yet, the battery would also have to grow, since the consumption of a 4K screen is higher.
As a novelty, the new iPad Air 3 could incorporate an LED flash next to the rear camera, thus becoming the first iPad to incorporate it. Although the iPad is not very comfortable to take photos, sure that the LED flash would be well received among the users of the device.
In addition to the new iPad, the other great novelty that we could see on March 15 would be the new iPhone with a 4-inch screen. It has been rumored for some time that Apple could try to launch a device somewhat cheaper than the current top of the range. Although at first it was known as iPhone 6c, it seems that the final name could be iPhone 5se. The change would be due to the fact that the new device could be launched with the intention of replacing the iPhone 5s, a terminal that is currently on sale.
Although the device is called to replace the iPhone 5s, the design of the new terminal seems to be that it would be more similar to that of the iPhone 6. The metallic appearance would be maintained and the corners would be rounded. The renovation in the design would be accompanied by also renewed hardware. Rumors claim that the new 4-inch iPhone will feature an A9 processor alongside the M9 coprocessor, plus 1GB of RAM. Thus, the components of the new 4-inch iPhone would be inferior to those of the current iPhone 6s. However, it is said thatiPhone 5 will incorporate current features like Live Photos or Apple Pay. The price of the device would be around 510 euros, the current price of the iPhone 5s.
Apart from the two new devices, Apple could take advantage of the event to present new straps for the Apple Watch, as well as a possible update of the watch's operating system. A hardware renewal of the watch is not expected until the end of the year.
