Apple schedules special experience event for March 4

Apple is holding its first event of the year on March 4. Cupertino will host a “special Apple Experience” across New York, London and Shanghai, with the event scheduled to start at 9AM ET/ 2PM GMT/10PM CST time. It remains to be seen if the event will be livestreamed or if Apple will simply launch the products via press releases.

We’re expecting several products, with the iPhone 17e being the most often rumored device in the last few weeks. The successor to last year’s iPhone 16e is rumored to get upgraded to the Apple A19 chipset alongside a 6.1-inch screen with Dynamic Island and the same 18MP selfie camera as the iPhone 17 series.

The 17e is also rumored to feature Apple’s latest C1X modem, MagSafe support, a single 48MP rear camera and a $599 launch price. Outside of the 17e, Apple is rumored to refresh its MacBook lineup with a new entry-level MacBook equipped with the A18 Pro chipset, an aluminum chassis and a sub-$1,000 price tag. It will allegedly be available in multiple color options.

Apple is also rumored to introduce new M5 MacBook Air as well as M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros. Rumors also suggest new Mac displays as well as updated iPad Air models with the M4 chip and a new baseline iPad equipped with the A18 chip.
