Apple Set to Reveal New Products at March Event

It might soon be time to retire that aging Mac you’ve been nurturing. Apple is gearing up for a March 4 event, aptly named a “Special Apple Experience.” As is typical with Apple, the details of the announcement are shrouded in mystery, but we have some educated guesses.

The event starts at 9 AM ET on March 4, with live coverage from Ars Technica in New York City. While Apple doesn’t adhere to a strict release schedule for most products, current rumors give us clues about possible hardware updates.

The anticipated iPhone 17e could make an appearance. This upgraded version of Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone might feature an A19 chip, similar to what powers the base model iPhone 17, and could integrate MagSafe charging. However, it’s unlikely to include the multi-camera array available on higher-end models. If Apple unveils this phone, keep an eye on pricing. The current basic iPhone range, including the 16e, sits between $600-800. Introducing another $599 model might not create significant excitement.
