Apple Announces 'Peek Performance' Special Event on March 8

Apple has officially announced a special event that will take place virtually on March 8 at 10am PDT. This will be the company's first major event since debuting the M1 Pro/Max MacBooks in October 2021.

We're expecting the company will finally unveil a third generation iPhone SE, as well as an updated iPad Air.

The iPhone SE 3 is widely rumored to feature a 4.7-inch display, an A15 processor, an improved sensor for the rear 12MP camera, an X60M 5G baseband chip, and an additional 1GB of RAM for a total of 4GB.


The new iPad Air's specs will likely be similar to the iPad mini (6th generation) with an A15 Bionic chip, 12MP ultra-wide front camera, quad-LED True Tone flash, and 5G support.

Notably, there have been numerous reports Apple could release a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 processor this month. The notebook is said to retain the same design as the current version, including the Touch Bar, and will not have a notch or a ProMotion display. There's also been rumors that the Mac mini could get an M1 Pro chip.

Apple's announcement touts 'Peek performance' so we can assume we'll get a look at something more powerful than the iPhone SE 3 and iPad Air 5 will be unveiled.
