Apple is reportedly planning to release its rumored 4-inch iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 on Friday, March 18th, reports 9to5Mac. The company is expected to unveil the devices at a media event on Tuesday, March 15th. It's not expected to offer pre-orders of the new iPhone and iPad, rather they should be available purchase online and in-store on the 18th.
Launching the new iPhone and iPad models so soon after introduction and not offering pre-orders would be a new strategy for Apple. Apple typically releases new iPhone models one or two weeks following the introduction events and an online pre-order period. A similar strategy has been followed for many new iPad releases, but the iPad Pro hardware actually went on sale over two months following the device’s initial introduction. Manufacturing of the new 4-inch iPhone began ramping up in January, sources say.
As previously reported, the iPhone 5se is expected to feature a 4-inch display with a faster A9 processor, an M9 chip with support always-on Siri, curved glass, an 8MP camera, 1GB to 1.2GB of RAM, a 1624mAh battery, 16GB and 64GB storage options, NFC, Live Photos, and more.
Leaked schematics of the iPad Air 3 have revealed a rear facing LED flash and the presence of four integrated speakers at the top and bottom of the device. The device is also believed to feature a Smart Connector and a slightly thicker design.
