Cupertino usually doesn’t talk too much, but when they do, people are all ears. There is a lot of expectation from Apple Fans world over for the upcoming Monday’s event. Apple has always surprised its fans at these events.
2015’s event marked the introduction of the Sleek and shining Apple Watch category. Last year, Apple did not just deliver a watch as expected; the company produced a watch that raised the bar for wearables while attempting to lure consumers into buying a device in a category that had yet to take off. We wonder if Apple will be able a similar trick on Monday.
Apple’s March 21 Product Launch Expectations
Based on numerous media reports, the main stars of the event are going to be the 4-inch iPhone unofficially called the iPhone SE along with a smaller new 9.7-inch iPad Pro. A 9.7 inch ‘iPad Air 3’ or ‘iPad Air Pro’ could have more upgraded features like the iPad Pro but would be cheaper and have a smaller screen.
A new iPad Air could also have the larger iPad Pro’s four speaker design. It might come with the A9X and M9 chips and have a possible Smart Connector, or perhaps a rear flash for the camera, which would be a first for any iPad yet. Since iPad sales have been falling close to 25%, this could be an attempt by Apple to re-energize this product segment.
Although the new iPad Pro was a hit with the fanboys and fangirls, it has not found enough traction due to its high price point. If Apple were to introduce this new iPad Pro model with bells and whistles, it could serve as a catalyst for growth in this product segment and to Apple’s bottom line in quarters to come.
