Next week will hold far more excitement than just rolling our clocks forward an hour. Apple is holding an event March 9th at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center. The event, whose colorful invite only says “Spring Forward,” kicks off at 10 AM PDT.
During Apple’s last earnings call, CEO Tim Cook announced that the Apple Watch would begin shipping in April, so it’s highly likely that this could be Apple’s big Apple Watch event. However, there are plenty of other things Cook and team could unveil, as well.
Earlier this month, rumors that a small MacBook Air refresh would arrive February 24 failed to materialize. But the MacBook Air line, which is also reportedly gaining a 12-inch Retina version this year, could be a headliner at next Monday’s event. I’ve personally been impatiently waiting for Apple to upgrade its ultraportable notebook with a higher resolution screen, and may even be more excited about that than the Apple Watch.
It’s also possible that a 12.9-inch “iPad Pro” could be announced at Apple’s March event. Based on leaked schematics and supply chain progress, this long-rumored product could actually land some time between April and June, which would either put its announcement within the next month or two, or at WWDC in June.
There are other products we’d like to see updated, like Apple’s Cinema Display and the Apple TV, but we haven’t heard much about progress on those fronts. Apple does manage to keep some things secret, from time to time, though.
Regardless of what’s announced, WIRED will be there March 9th, ready to share the news with you as it happens.
