Report: Next Apple event expected week of March 21st


9 to 5 Mac:

Well-sourced Re/code is indicating that Apple's media event and keynote announcement for spring will be held in the week of March 21st. In an independent report by Buzzfeed, John Paczkowski reports that the event will take place on March 21st itself and will be a 'smaller scale event', suggesting it will take place in Cupertino on Apple's campus.

9 to 5 Mac expects Apple to roll out a smaller, less feature packed version of the iPhone 6s. It's expected to be a 4-inch device and called iPhone SE. Similar to the iPhone 5c, the iPhone SE most likely is geared as a value option with current specs for customers and also a smaller screen size for those who prefer a smaller smartphone.

Also expected is an apparent convergence of the iPad Air and iPad Pro. The new 9.7-inch iPad Pro will have iPad Pro features with the iPad Air size.
