What to Expect from Apple Event Today?
Let us look into what we can expect from today’s Apple Event.
Third Generation iPhone SE
Everyone expects Tim Cook to launch the third generation of iPhone SE, also known as iPhone SE 3, at the event today. The 2020 iPhone SE offered great specs to the users at a good value but did not offer good battery life. It was a significant concern since sometimes as the phone barely run a whole day, if FaceTime calls were there.
Since everyone expects a 5G phone, if there is no improvement in the battery life issue, it might look like a redefined iPhone 8. However, chances are there that the iPhone SE 3 might be similar to that of the iPhone 13 Mini. It might come with an improved rear camera and be priced as low as USD 300 only.

However, the iMac Pro will likely get the M1 Pro and M1 Max variants. In addition, the upcoming Mac mini might be powered by the M2 and M1 Pro SoC options.

Other sources indicate that there might be announcements regarding more shows and movies on Apple TV. In addition, the “Peek” in the Apple Event tagline gives the impression that the company might reveal a new AR/VR product.
Earlier announcements had said that the work-in-progress AR/VR headset would need one more year to be completed. However, the tech giant might surprise us at any time with an unexpected product announcement.
