Apple might hold a spring event in March where we could see new iPads, among other things.
Some Apple events happen like clockwork – we’re talking WWDC and new iPhone launches, but others are more variable, and the Apple spring event falls into that latter category. Apple often but not always holds a spring event of some kind in March, and the exact timing of the event, along with the types of announcements made, vary from year to year. As such we’re not even certain that there will be an Apple spring event 2021, let alone what we’ll see there, but there are some rumors, including a possible date. You’ll find all of that below, along with an overview of the sorts of things that might be announced. If Apple holds a spring event — that’s spring in the northern hemisphere where Apple’s HQ is based — this year it will almost certainly happen in March, as that’s the typical month for it. The exact time within the month can vary, but rumors suggest the Apple spring event 2021 might be held on March 23. That date has been put forward both by Jon Prosser and DuanRui on Twitter (two prominent leakers). That said, Prosser previously suggested that the event would be held on March 16. So he’s changed his mind, but if he was wrong once he could be wrong again. March 16 is also a date that has been put forward by two Twitter leakers who don’t have much of a track record, as spotted by Taiwan’s Economic Daily News. Given their lack of a track record though we would take that with a serious helping of salt, especially as Joe Rossignol (the editor of MacRumors) has claimed this is just guesswork, and Mark Gurman (a source who does have a good track record) has said there won’t be an event on March 16. So March 23 is currently looking a lot more likely than March 16 — or any other date, but we’re far from certain that it’s right.
