After the iPad Air refresh last fall, people have been waiting for the iPad Pro to get a similar revamp, which new leaks say could happen – along with the release of Apple’s AirTags – sometime in mid-March.

Apple has a lot of experience in organizing some sort of product launch event in recent years in the early spring, and based on recent tweets noted by Korea’s Economic Daily News, Apple’s next gadget showcase is expected on March 16.

Follow-up of previous predictions, @Playing nicely claims Apple’s long-awaited AirTags have been “pretty much ready” since last fall, and will finally be officially announced in March, which is in line with rumors from other speakers such as Jon Prosser

However, the show’s big stars will be multiple new iPads, with @FrontTron claim that Apple will announce a new iPad and iPad Mini, while numerous other sources claim that one refreshed iPad Pro is also coming Macotaka says the new iPad Pro will have improved speakers, faster processors, and possibly even a mini LED display on the larger 12.9-inch model with richer colors and better contrast. Rumors also suggest that Apple could introduce the first 5G-compatible iPad at this event.

Meanwhile, for Apple’s smallest iPad it looks like the iPad Mini might finally get a revamped design with smaller bezels and a larger screen, but without increasing the existing dimensions of the current model.

Unfortunately, Apple usually announces its events two to three weeks in advance, so we may have to wait until the end of the month or early March for an official confirmation.
