Apple March Event live: iPhone SE 3, iPad Air 5, new M2 MacBooks set to launch

Good morning! It’s a bright and breezy day in the world of tech, and another tentpole moment in 2022 is approaching quickly: it’s Apple’s Peek Performance March event.

There’s something comforting in seeing the big events begin again, and Apple launching new iPads, iPhones and MacBooks in March is becoming a familiar thing – while this year we’ve not got an in-person event, the rumor mill has been in overdrive of late with what we’re expecting to see.

But before we get to what’s coming, let’s get some housekeeping out of the way – the  Apple March event time is 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT / 2am ACT (sorry, Aussie readers. We promise to catch you up in the morning…) and here’s how to watch the Apple March Event in one easy place.

Right, so that’s how you can watch it sorted, but what about the actual content itself?

Well, we’re expecting to see the iPhone SE 3 / iPhone SE 2022 (as it will very likely be called, given 2020’s iteration wasn’t called the iPhone SE 2) – and rumor has it that the cost won’t be too much higher.

There’s been confliciting information from the world of leakers over the iPad(s) we’ll be seeing this year – ‘tradition’ dictates that we’ll be seeing a new iPad Pro 2022, and likely in two sizes… but the iPad Air 5 also looks quite likely, and wouldn’t be the biggest shock.

The rumors are swirling strongly around a new M2 chipset, and that means new entrants into the Mac line – whether that’s a new MacBook (mostly likely a Pro) or a new iMac is unsure – but in the last week, leaks have pointed to a new M1 Pro- or M2-powered Mac Mini too.

There’s also talk of ‘One More Thing’… but that’s sadly unlikely to be the Apple Glasses that some people have been tipping, and more likely to be a mid-range monitor that improves on the Pro Display XDR.

Anyway, join us throughout the day, as we dissect the strongest rumors, speak to our experts on what they expect / want to see and see behind the scenes as TechRadar prepares for the latest in a long, long line of Apple event coverage.
