Apple Event 8 March Live
The event will start on March 9, 2022, at 10 AM PST. The live broadcast will happen from the Apple headquarters at Cupertino, California, Apple Park. Viewers from India can see the live stream on Apple’s official website and YouTube from 11:30 PM IST on March 8, 2022.
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.

Apple might even introduce new Mac models based on its Apple M2, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and a super-powered version of M1 Max SoC. The new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air might get the new M2 chipset. 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 Possible Accouncements
YouTuber Luke Miani suggests that a green colour variant for the existing iPhone 13 series and a purple colour iPad Air variant might be revealed. 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.

We feel that today’s Apple Event will also reveal the iOS 15.4 updates for devices running iOS. It would let users use Face ID even while wearing their masks. Chances of the macOS Monterey and iPadOS 15.4 being released are also there.
