New Apple Airtags, iPads, and AirPods rumoured for March release

Mar 13 2021

According to a leak by DuanRui, Apple is rumoured to be holding an event on March 23rd in which the tech giant is supposedly unveiling their new AirTags, iPads and third-generation AirPods. Not all are convinced by this event, time and release, as some others are suspecting that March will instead be the OnePlus 9 reveal date.

It seems that the Apple event is on March 23rd.

Another suggestion is that the March event is that it will be held digitally and live-streamed on the 30th, as the company’s track record shows. All we can do now is simply wait for the revelations to surely come.
