Leaker suggests holding the Apple event on March 23

Apple will hold its first event of the year on March 23, according to information provided by a famous Chinese (via DuanRui). Apple is expected to launch new AirTags, iPads and possibly updated AirPods at a spring event, and leaker “Kang” believes the date will be March 23.

Initial speculation indicated an event taking place on March 16; in any case, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman rejected the possibility, leaving the door open for an event later in the month. Kang says the Apple event will take place on the same date as the unveiling of the OnePlus 9, which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 23rd.

Due to the global health crisis, the Apple event is expected to take place digitally and be broadcast live via its website and official YouTube channel. March 23 and March 30 are both reasonable assumptions for when Apple is ready to host an event. Apple tends to host events on Tuesday and is expected to host an event in “early spring” to coincide with the launch of transparency for app tracking in iOS 14.5.

Official details about the Apple event remain unknown. However, growing evidence of the imminent launch of irAirTags‌ suggests that Apple’s tracker like Tile could debut on the March 23 rumor. DigiTimes, and others have also suggested that Apple will launch updated iPad models with mini-LED displays and faster processors in the first half of the year.

Shortly after Kang suggested the March 23 meeting, YouTube personality and Jon Prosser, Apple’s successful leaker posted on Twitter “23”, in an apparent manifestation of support for Kang and the prediction of the date of his event.

Last year, Kang was the first to reveal exactly that Apple planned to revive the MagSafe brand for the iPhone 12 and also leaked exact details and release dates for the full range ‌iPhone 12‌ and HomePod mini rumors before it was announced. official.
