Apple is kicking off a new week of announcements. Tim Cook has officially confirmed that Apple will unveil new products "on Monday morning." This sounds like a clear starting signal for several days packed with hardware news, not a single event.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hint doesn't come from the rumor mill, but directly from Apple. Additionally, there's a teaser announcing<\/a> "a big week" starting Monday morning. In the video, you see hands uncovering an incomplete Apple logo and then completing it with pressure and a single movement. The gray color scheme suggests a hint at silver aluminum, a typical Apple hardware look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the video is cryptic, the message is quite clear: New Apple products will be released starting Monday, March 2nd, and it probably won't be just a one-day event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple is opting for a multi-day event instead of a keynote<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, March 4, Apple will host media representatives in New York City, London, and Shanghai. A single major keynote address is not expected. Instead, it appears likely that the event will follow a format Apple has used repeatedly in recent years: several press releases, presumably accompanied by product-specific videos, and finally, a more "entertaining" hands-on opportunity to round things off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is expected to be announced<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

iPhone 17e: A cheaper iPhone every year?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone 17e is rumored to be coming soon. A year ago, Apple replaced the long-standing iPhone SE as its entry-level device, introducing the iPhone 16e as a more modern entry-level model. Now, a year later, Apple is expected to switch to an annual update cycle for this more affordable iPhone. This would be a clear departure from the previously rather irregular SE cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPad (11th generation): Base model with Apple Intelligence option<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Something could also happen with the base iPad. The 11th generation iPad was also released a year ago. A new version could support Apple Intelligence. Predicting the exact timing is more difficult because previous models weren't released annually: the two most recent models came out in 2022 and 2021. Nevertheless, an update this week would fit if Apple intends to refresh the entry-level iPad and iPhone simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPad Air: from M3 to M4<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The iPad Air is expected to receive an upgrade from the M3 chip to the M4 chip. Apple has already updated the iPad Air with M-series chips in 2022, 2024, and 2025, following up with updates at relatively short intervals. A move to the M4 would continue this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mac: A-series on the way and M4 generation change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First A-series chip in the Mac<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A major innovation is brewing in the Mac market: Apple is expected to introduce an A-series chip (i.e., iPhone-class) in a Mac product for the first time. This would represent an exciting shift in Apple's silicon strategy and would expand the lineup with a new chip category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro\/Max MacBook Pro: Updates are coming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, updates for the M5 generation are considered overdue or "due":<\/p>\n\n\n\n
