Apple To Announce New Products On March 21

The rumored iPhone 5se could be revealed soon

Apple will hold an event on March 21 to showcase new products. Invites were sent out to media for the company's March event with the tagline "Let Us Loop You In." Many rumors have pointed to the company's plans to introduce a new, small screened iPhone 5se device. While Apple tends to save its phone announcements for September, many sites like 9to5Mac and Bloomberg have pointed to similar rumors surrounding an updated version of the 4-inch screen device.
Taking after Android phone makers like Samsung, HTC, LG and more, Apple used its last major hardware revision to increase the size of its devices' screens. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus--bearing a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen, respectively--have seen regular updates.
The NFC payment system Apple Pay and optical image stabilization have been among the updates the larger phones have seen. And even more improvements made their way to the "tock update" iPhone 6s. But the 4-inch option has remained at the level of an iPhone 5S--the same phone the company released back in 2013. If rumors are to be believed, that could change with this March 21 event.

The iPhone 5se is expected to have the same 4-inch screen size, but much beefier internal specs than the original 5S. Presumed to stand for "special edition," the 5se could likely boast an A8 or A9 processor, increased storage space from offering only 16GB and an improved 8MP camera to match up to the iPhone 6 or 6S series of devices. Similar to the 6S, the ability to reveal Siri with only one's voice could come to the iPhone 5se as well.
But it may not be all about the iPhone — Apple could bring updates to the iPad and maybe even its Mac line of computers at the California event. With the company keeping a tight lid on things as usual, we won't know for sure until March 21 arrives.
The week will be an eventful one for the iPhone-maker. Those following Apple's battle with the FBI over decreasing the security of a phone used by one of the San Bernardino shooting suspects know that the company will head to court one day after the March 21 event, at 1pm pacific.

You can tune into Apple's March 21 event on the company's devices at 10am pacific, 1pm eastern.

Apple to launch MacBook Air 2016

Apple to launch MacBook Air 2016

After the Apple laptops went missing in action at the recent Black Friday sale, MacBook Air and Pro 2016 release now points next year.

Latest rumors claimed that MacBook Air and Pro 2016 release is scheduled in June 2016 at Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference event. It seems that the Cupertino-based company will wait for more than a year before it will release the successor of its notebooks.

MacBook Air

The rumor was sparked by a report from a Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News. The report added that the MacBook Air will be available in 13 inch and 15 inch version released. The 11 inch variant will be finally put to rest as Apple will now focus on larger screens.

Aside from physical changes, the MacBook Air will revamp what is under the hood. New additions will include improved battery life, better cooling modules, and a metal chassis.

Because of these changes, there are rumors that the new generation will be more expensive than the current models of MacBook. This is similar to what happened to iPad Pro, which is at a higher price point than the iPad Air.

It is expected that the MacBook Air 2016 will pack an Intel Skylake U-chipset under the hood and will run El Capitan, the latest version of Apple's desktop OS.

Currently, MacBook products come in 11, 12, 13 and 15-inch screen sizes.. The MacBook Air will be even thinner than last time.

MacBook Pro 2016, on the other hand, is rumored to pack almost the same specs but with more powerful RAM and longer battery life.

However, there is no official confirmation from Apple regarding the release date and features of the said device.
