Apple March 4 Event: A Special Experience Meeting

Apple is gearing up for its first event of the year on March 4. The company will host what it calls a “special Apple experience” across New York, London, and Shanghai, kicking off at 9:00 AM ET / 2:00 PM GMT / 10:00 PM CST. It’s still unclear whether the presentation will be livestreamed or if Apple will announce the new products through press releases instead.

The spotlight is expected to be on the iPhone 17e, which has dominated recent rumors. Leaks suggest it will feature the A19 chipset, a 6.1-inch display with Dynamic Island, and the same 18MP selfie camera used across the iPhone 17 lineup.

The iPhone 17e is also rumored to include Apple’s new C1X modem, MagSafe support, a single 48MP rear camera, and a starting price of $599.

Beyond the iPhone, Apple may unveil broader hardware updates. Reports point to a refreshed MacBook lineup, including a new entry-level MacBook powered by the A18 Pro, with an aluminum chassis and a sub-$1,000 price tag, potentially offered in multiple colors. There’s also talk of new M5 MacBook Air models and M5 Pro/M5 Max MacBook Pros.

Other rumored announcements include new Mac displays, updated iPad Air models with the M4 chip, and a new base iPad running the A18 chip.
