Expectations are high for next month, because there is a good chance that Apple will organize an event in March. This is what you can expect!
Apple will have an event in March
March promises to be an important month for Apple, as several new devices are expected to be presented. It is therefore quite possible that Apple will decide to organize an event in March. This previously happened in 2015, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. We will tell you which new products you can probably expect next month.
1. New iPad Pro and iPad Air
Apple has not announced any new iPads in 2023. This is the first time since the introduction of the tablet, which means it is high time that Apple presents new iPads again. There is a good chance that we will see the first new tablets at the Apple event in March, because the iPad Air and the iPad Pro will then receive an update. We even see a completely new iPad Air, with a 12.9-inch screen. The 10.9-inch model will also receive an update.

According to rumors, the iPad Air will be equipped with the M2 chip. There will also be a new camera island and support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Both the 11- and 13-inch versions of the iPad Pro have an OLED screen. That’s a big improvement, especially for the 11-inch version. The iPad mini 7 is also expected next month or later this year, but of course we won’t know for sure until the Apple event in March.
2. MacBook Air 2024
According to rumors, Apple plans to announce multiple versions of the MacBook Air at the Apple event in March. This means that both the 13- and 15-inch versions will probably receive an update this year. The laptops are equipped with the M3 chip, which was actually expected in the MacBook Air 2023. That generation still runs on the M2 chip, but the MacBook Air 2024 will have an M3 chip.
No further changes to the design are expected. With the M3 chip, the MacBook Air 2024 does have support for ray tracing, among other things. This gives the laptop better reflections and nicer shadow and light effects in games, for example. In addition, the MacBook Air will also support WiFi 6E. We can therefore expect two new MacBooks at the Apple event in March.
3. Mac mini
The fact that Apple is updating the MacBook Air to the M3 chip at the event in March means that we will probably also see a new Mac mini. The device is still not equipped with the M3 chip, which will probably change next month. The Mac mini is usually one of the first devices to be upgraded, so the M3 chip will probably not be long in coming.
No major changes have been made to the Mac mini when it comes to the design. It remains to be seen whether Apple will indeed present the Mac mini 2024 at the event in March. Previous rumors predicted another release at the end of the year. Yet it seems more logical that Apple will present the Mac mini with M3 chip next month, at the same time as the MacBook Air that has the same processor.
Apple event in March: this is when
So we can expect quite a few products from Apple next month. There is a good chance that the Magic Mouse and the Magic Keyboard will also receive an update at the Apple event in March. These accessories are finally equipped with a USB-C connection. It therefore seems a logical step for Apple to hold an event in March, so that all announcements can be made at once.
