\nApple is in the mood for an event, and that event will take place on March the 27th. That event will be education focused, as evidenced by the text included on the event invite. The invite says: \u201cJoin us to hear creative new ideas for teachers and students.\u201d The invite also suggests that the event will take place at a high school in Chicago.
The invite also mentions a Field Trip, but it\u2019s unlikely this wording has anything to do with the company\u2019s launch of \u201cField Trip to the Apple Store\u201d initiative first announced back in 2008. Instead, several new devices \u2013 and probably some updated software \u2013 are tipped to be in the mix. The list includews an iPad, MacBook Air, and some wireless charging action. All of the information bits below are educated guesswork based on tips and rumors released over the past several weeks.
An inexpensive 9.7-inch iPad would be revealed for a relatively low price. That\u2019d be right around $260 USD if the rumors hold tight. That would be the cheapest price for an iPad ever placed on an iPad at launch \u2013 but it might also just be an Education thing. It could be that Apple will position the iPad as a competitor for the Chromebook, putting a $260 tablet up against the massively-successful Chromebook hordes in schools across the USA right this minute.
The invitation features a ribbon-like line segment that forms the Apple logo. That line looks a whole lot like press graphics for the Apple Pencil. It wouldn\u2019t be a big shock to see Apple release an Apple Pencil that was either updated with new features or released in two tiers, one normal price, the other rather cheap \u2013 for classrooms.
A new MacBook Air may be coming back into the limelight with pricing below the last cheapest MacBook Air. This would be an odd move for Apple given the relatively thin, light, compact nature of their standard MacBooks right this minute. The MacBook Pro out on the market right now is right around the same thickest-point thickness of the first MacBook Air. But if the price is right\u2026
While the newest batch of iPhone devices can already be charged wirelessly, Apple may make a big deal out of launching their AirPower charging mat. That\u2019d be something we sorta saw already at a past event, moved back a few months due to supply constraints (likely.)
Probably the strongest near-lock on a possible launch is iOS 11.3 for the general public with ClassKit. ClassKit is an education-focused framework for developers of education apps \u2013 it also looks a lot like it\u2019ll be a slick interface for educators wrangling their students. Almost like Apple plans on releasing an inexpensive iPad for use in classrooms in a way not unlike that of the Chromebook \u2013 oh my goodness.
Stick around as the event unfolds. That\u2019ll take place on March 27th at 10AM Central Time. That\u2019s 11AM Eastern Time, 9AM Mountain Time, and 8AM Pacific Time. Apple usually holds events in California \u2013 so don\u2019t get your timezones mixed!<\/p>\n
