The Next Apple Event 2021: Dates, News, Rumors, and Everything Else To Know

Apple holds events several times each year to announce new products and services. Aside from the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), there are usually Spring and Fall events that zero in on certain products.

A random extra event can pop up, too, as it did in Fall 2020 when the company split announcements for the iPhone 12 and Apple Watch Series 6 between September and October events.

What Is the Next Apple Event?

The next event is expected in March 2021. The rumor mill is expecting March 16; no official confirmation has come yet from Apple.

How To Attend the Event

Apple usually offers a free live stream to everyone. It's unlikely there will be an in-person event offered in 2021, so online will be the best bet to see what the company is up to. As soon as we have specific streaming details, we'll post them here.

What Announcements Will Apple Make?

The rumor mill is busier than a hive with guesses; Apple likes to keep everyone on their toes and doesn't release much information to the public before the event.

We anticipate a couple of new product announcements, though, based on some solid sources that tend to predict Apple's next moves accurately. Here's what we are expecting:

• Look for AirPods 3 to make an appearance in March.
• Watch for Apple TV 6, which is a long-overdue upgrade rumored to be announced any day now.
• A new iMac with Apple's M-series processor should debut.
• Several new iPad versions should appear as well. We're watching for an updated iPad Pro and possibly an iPad Mini to be slotted for a March announcement.

We are not expecting the MacBook Pro 2021 at this event; watch for that later in the year.
