What do you want to see at Apple’s ‘Peek Performance’ event?

This week, Apple officially announced its ‘Peek Performance’ March 8th event following weeks of rumours. The keynote kicks off Tuesday, March 8th at 1pm ET/10am PT, and we’re expecting to see a few notable Apple products revealed.

As mentioned in our ‘what to expect‘ story, we believe a new iPhone SE, iPad Air, MacBook Air and possibly Mac mini might be showcased during the keynote. Further, we expect to see a redesigned, colourful M1-powered Macbook Air and possibly a Mac mini that features Apple’s M1 Pro/Max chip — or even a more powerful new M2 chip.

As always, it’s important to note that this is just speculation based on rumours from the last few weeks.

This week the question at hand is: what do you want to see at this event? Would you like to see an M1 Pro/Max-powered Mac mini in a variety of different colours or an iPhone SE with Face ID?

Let us know in the comments below.

New iPhone 13 MagSafe case colours leak ahead of Apple’s spring event

If you follow my work, you’ll know that I like smartphone cases — especially Apple’s official iPhone cases. They’re undeniably pricey, but in a sense, you get what you pay for.

According to a new leak, we could see new iPhone 13 MagSafe case colours arrive alongside Apple’s reported iPhone SE and iPad Air at the tech giant’s rumoured March 9th event.

The leaked photo shows off what looks like a yellow, red, blue and green MagSafe case. It’s likely that alongside the new case colours, we’ll also see new Apple Watch bands at the event.

That said, this leak does come from a relatively unknown Apple leaker, Majin Bu, though the image does look legitimate.

Apple is expected to reveal a new iPhone SE, iPad Air and Mac mini at its upcoming March event. MobileSyrup will have more on Apple’s upcoming March hardware event in the coming days.

Apple’s new iPhone SE and iPad Air will reportedly be revealed on March 8

Apple is planning to reveal a new version of the iPhone SE and the iPad Air at an upcoming March 8th event, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, an often reliable source of tech rumours.

The next-gen iPhone SE will reportedly look very similar to its iPhone 8-like 2020 counterpart, only with a faster A15 chip and 5G connectivity. There’s also a possibility that the tech giant could improve the entry-level smartphone’s cameras, which, at this point, lag well behind what the iPhone 13 series offers.

Along with a new iPhone SE, we’ll also likely see a new iPad Air at Apple’s event. The new Air is rumoured to also get a 5G connectivity and a faster A-series chip. Given that the iPad Air (2020) featured a full iPad Pro-like colourful redesign, it’s unlikely this refresh will be that substantial.

Finally, Gurman’s report mentions that an M1-powered Mac mini could also appear at the event, and that iOS 15.4’s/iPadoS 15.4’s public release could be just a few weeks away. iOS 15.4 will bring several significant features to Apple’s mobile operating system, including Face ID with a Mask and Universal Control, which allows users to jump between side-by-side Macs and iPads using a trackpad or mouse.

Similar to past Apple events, it’s expected that the tech giant’s March event will be streamed online and not an in-person keynote, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

New iPhone SE and iPad Air appear in regulatory database

It looks like we may see a new iPhone SE and iPad Air at some point in the next couple of weeks/months if recent listings found in the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) database are accurate.

As first reported by French publication Consomac, the fact that a product has hit the EEC is often an indication that it could launch in the next few weeks. In the past, Apple has held events in April tied to the launch of new versions of the iPad and the iPhone SE, so there’s a possibility we could see that again this year.

Apple’s 3rd-gen 5.7-inch iPhone SE is expected to be nearly identical to its predecessor in terms of design, including its sizable bezels and physical iPhone 8-era Touch ID button. Most of the changes will be under the hood, with the entry-level iPhone featuring 5G and the iPhone 13’s A15 chip.

On the other hand, the 5th-gen iPad Air will reportedly feature Apple’s A15 chip, 5G support and a 12-megapixel FaceTime HD camera that includes ‘Center Stage’ camera support. There’s also a possibility that the tablet could feature an OLED panel similar to the 11-inch iPad Pro.

Given the last iPhone SE and iPad Air refresh was in 2020, both devices are due for an update. We’ll likely have a more concrete picture of Apple’s plans in the next few weeks.

New iPad Pro with wireless charging will reportedly release in 2022

Apple reportedly has plans to release three iPad models in 2022, including a new iPad Pro, entry-level iPad and iPad Air, according to Bloomberg’s often-reliable Mark Gurman and his Power On newsletter.

On the iPad Pro side, Gurman says that he expects the new version of Apple’s high-end iPad to feature wireless charging and reverse-wireless charging, allowing the tablet to charge iPhones, AirPods and more. On the other hand, the entry-level iPad will likely feature a new processor, but beyond this, the report doesn’t delve into any details. There’s a possibility it could feature a thinner, more squared-off design in-line with the new iPad mini.

Regarding the iPad Air, Bloomberg’s report indicates the tablet will offer features more in-line with the new iPad mini, including an A15 Bionic chip, Center Stage and 5G connectivity. Given that the Air hasn’t been updated in over a year, it makes sense for Apple to release a new tablet version in 2022.

Beyond iPads, Gurman’s report also says that Apple has several new Apple Watch models in the works — including a rugged model — and roughly five new Macs on the way. All of these devices are rumoured to launch at some point in 2022.

With Apple also reportedly working on an AR headset of some sort that’s tipped to release in the new year, 2022 is shaping up to be significant year of releases for the company.
