Often but not always a software only affair, for the last few years it's been where we've met new versions of all of Apple's operating systems. It's been held the first or second week of the month for more than a decade, so never say never, but if all else fails it's close to a sure thing that's when Apple execs have to put sneaker to stage. June means WWDC, Apple's yearly World Wide Developers Conference, held for the last couple of years in San Jose, California.
There's already a Product Red iPhone XR, but if Apple could nail the PVD coating for the stainless steel, a Product Red iPhone XS would be pure spring fire as well. In 2017 we also got the Product Red iPhone 7 in March, though it took until April of last year to get the Product Red iPhone 8. If not, we may have to wait until the fall or later.įor the last few years, Spring has also meant a new Spring collection for Apple Watch, with new band colors, and other Apple accessories, like iPhone cases, to match. If they're ready in March, Apple could fold all the audio together, maybe even with some new HomePod kit. There have also been rumors of over-the-ear AirPods this year. I did a whole video on those last week, so check out the link in the description below. Maybe not for March, but maybe sometime sooner rather than later?ĪirPower, which didn't make Apple's self-imposed 2018 launch window, if not abandoned, could be back on track for the spring, along with the capacitive charging case for AirPods… and maybe even updated AirPods. A new, small, less-expensive iPhone SE, first rumored to be on the way and then rumored to have been shelved, could be dusted off again. Speaking of which, even if Apple's margins are down from the heights of the Steve Jobs era, the perception is such that they're still getting hammered on pricing, especially outside the U.S. If it follows the 9.7-inch trend with a non-laminated screen and Pencil support, it could be the new lowest entry level ever.
This year, we could see another everything-old-is-new-again iPad, with the first iPad mini update since September of 2015. Dates for those events have been all over the place, from as early as March 2 to as late as March 27, but in those years we've seen new iPads, new Apple TVs, the launch of Apple Watch, the debut of the 12-inch MacBook, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the iPhone SE, and last year, the least expensive 9.7-inch iPad ever.
Plus, hopefully, more wireless CarPlay, because the auto industry is sllllloooooow.Īlso, you know, more cases, cables, Qi chargers, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, power packs, and other accessories than you can shake an iPhone at.Įverything HomeKit at CES 2019 March: Spring Event 2019Īpple has hosted March events in 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2018.
Also, scales, monitors, fitness trackers, and everything else that quantifies your life.
That means more better app and Siri controlled lighting, locks, security systems, plugs, switches, sensors, and everything else you want and need in your home. But, Apple's partners do go to CES and do show off all the new HomeKit and HealthKit accessories, and CarPlay implementations we can expect to see both now and all the way into the next holiday shopping seasons.
