Apple will introduce new iPhone, iPad on March 8
Once again, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has published a predictive report. This time, Bloomberg's sources have shared details on Apple's upcoming Spring event.
The report claims that Apple will host this year's event on March 8, which is a little earlier than usual. And the report names four major announcements expected at the event. In contrast to some of Gurman's recent newsletters, he cites sources familiar with Apple's plans, lending the report some credibility.
The Apple event will feature a new iPhone SE model with 5G capabilities, as has long been rumored. The sources also say the mid-range smartphone will have a faster processor and an improved camera, but it won't feature a radical new design. Among other things, that suggests that the classic iPhone Home button still isn't going anywhere. The current iPhone SE uses a Home button-based design similar to that seen in 2017's iPhone 8. The report doesn't address how Apple might deal with the increased battery drain associated with 5G in that design, which has a notably small battery by today's standards.
