APPLE may be preparing to unleash a flurry of new gadgets in a matter of days.

A top-secret Apple launch event has been rumoured (by Siri, no less!), and we’ve got all the details.

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 hasn’t confirmed an event for 2021, but rumours suggest one will take place nonetheless.

Apple Spring Event 2021 dates

We don’t have any official dates because Apple hasn’t formally announced an event.

But a surprising “leak” took place on April 13 that may give us some clues.

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.

Of course, Apple hasn’t confirmed any such event.

The spring events typically take place in March, but that clearly wasn’t the case in 2021.

Here are the event dates in previous years:

  • 2012 – March 7
  • 2015 – March 9
  • 2016 – March 21
  • 2018 – March 27
  • 2019 – March 25

Obviously, that hasn’t happened. Trusted Apple leaker Jon Prosser has predicted that we’re getting an April event this year instead.

Apple events typically land on a Monday or Tuesday.

That means we could be getting a look at new Apple gadgets on:

  • April 19
  • April 20
  • April 26
  • April 27

Apple normally announces its events at least a week beforehand, so we may hear about an event very soon.

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.

In other news, Samsung has launched a “try before you buy” scheme for its most expensive mobiles to date.

Apple is rumoured to be working on a foldable phone to rival Samsung.
