Apple event could take place on March 8: iPhone SE 3 5G, a new iPad Air, and Mac Mini expected

Apple may hold its first event of the year on March 8. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has reported that “Apple Inc. is targeting a date on or near March 8”. And the report also gives us a bit of what to expect. The slate of devices that are most likely to launch at this event includes a new entry-level iPhone (presumably the iPhone SE 5G), and an iPad Air refresh. These are some things we have been already expecting from the Cupertino giant. So, let's have a quick refresher of their rumored specs and details.

Apple Spring Event 2022: What to Expect

The frontrunner of this event could be iPhone SE 3 5G and as the name suggests, the handset could feature 5G connectivity. Besides that, other updates could include a new processor like the A15 Bionic. On the surface, it may continue the 4.7-inch display with a Touch ID reader on the front. And even in terms of price, it could land either on the same or somewhere close to the predecessor. That is around $399 or ~₹30,000.

Next up, the rumors claim the iPad Air will get an update that could consist of a 10.9-inch display and a 12MP ultrawide selfie shooter with Center Stage outside; an A15 Bionic processor with a 5G modem inside.

Lastly, the event could also be when the Mac Mini gets a broader taste of the Apple Silicon like the M1 Pro and the M1 Max or even an M2.

In his post, Gurman also mentions that the iOS 15.4 with Mask-supported Face ID and Universal Control, a new range of emojis, among other things may get the stable release.

Although not for this event, he also predicts the launch of a new iMac, Mac Pro, a revamped MacBook Air, an updated low-trim MacBook Pro, three Apple Watches, four iPhone 14 variants, new AirPods, and a new Apple payment service later this year.

In the article, he also shares some concerns around the prevailing chip situation and how that could lead to some delays in the plans. So, nothing is set in stone as of now. However, what we could foretell is that this forthcoming event would be online-only like the last few ones for obvious reasons.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses based on a patent from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
