Originally, rumors said that Apple had planned an event at the end of March. However, the event was not officially confirmed. Now an insider has spoken out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apple blog Cult of Mac has a new report<\/a> published, which sheds light on Apple's plans for a March event and upcoming products. The information is said to come from a source familiar with the matter. According to this, Apple was "concerned" about bringing people together in Apple Park. In February there was a rumor that Apple would hold an event on March 31st, but Apple never announced the event. The move is basically no surprise. Due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, many companies have adapted their own policies to the current situation. Employees are being encouraged to work from home and events are being canceled. Apple is also trying to reduce the risk of infection and is following this policy. Apart from that, the Santa Clara district, which also includes Cupertino, has banned mass events<\/a> This ban is initially valid from March 11th to April 1st inclusive. Accordingly, no Apple event can take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDelays in the production of two of the main products\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The source later explained to Cult of Mac that the decision to cancel the event was also related to production problems. According to the insider, there were "delays in the production of two of the main products." There have already been several reports that the cheaper iPhone (iPhone 9 or iPhone SE2) could not go into mass production as planned. According to the source, Apple is now waiting to better evaluate the "production schedule of the components" and the "final assembly of the product", so it is currently difficult to set a firm plan for the product announcement. In addition to the iPhone 9, the upcoming iPad Pro could also be meant - but the insider did not reveal any specific product names. Of course, Apple could present the new devices at the end of March via press release, but given the latest information, that also seems rather unlikely. This means that the launch of the iPhone 9 and iPad Pro 2020 could be further delayed. (Photo by mingman \/ Bigstockphoto)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
