What is the Apple Spring Event 2021?

Apple regularly hosts special events in the spring.

It’s usually a chance to showcase products that aren’t the flagship iPhone.

This includes spin-off iPhones, iPads or accessories.

Apple confirmed the April 20 event on April 13, but didn’t say what would be announced.

Apple Spring Event 2021 dates

The Apple Spring Event is set to take place on April 20, as previously rumoured.

Somewhat bizarrely, the event was actually leaked earlier in the day.

Apple’s Siri digital assistant began responding with “April 20” when asked “When is the next Apple Event?”.

Her response would be: “The special event is on Tuesday, April 20th, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all the details on Apple.com.”

The link would redirect users to Apple’s events page, which is updated with major events.

However, Apple has now confirmed the event for 10am Californian time.

That’s 1pm in New York and 6pm in London.

Apple Spring Event 2021 – what to expect

It’s impossible to say for sure what Apple is planning to announce.

Unlike the September event where we always expect a new iPhone, the March showcase is trickier to predict.

Here are the rumoured products-in-chief:

• New iPad Pro – A faster and more visually impressive tablet may be on the way
• iPad mini 6 – Apple hasn’t updated the iPad mini since 2019, so it’s no surprise that a revamp is rumoured
• Apple AirTags – These Tile-style trackers will attach to objects (like keys or luggage) and can then be tracked using your iPhone. Apparently, anyway…

Other less likely products include AirPods 3 with redesigned earths for a better fit, as well as a new version of the iPhone SE.
