We all know for sure that every year, Apple will host an event in the middle of the year in the form of WWDC. However, the company does hold multiple events a year, one of which sometimes takes place in the early part of the year which can sometimes feature refreshes for the iPad or MacBook lineup.
However, according to a report from German website iPhone-Ticker, they claim that Apple will be hosting an event on the 31st of March in which the rumored iPhone SE 2 (also known as the iPhone 9) could be announced. They go on to add that the handset itself will be released shortly after the announcement, possibly on the 3rd of April.
As to how they arrived on the 31st of March announcement date, firstly they were tipped off by their source. Secondly, as 9to5Mac notes, Apple’s previous March events have typically taken place on Tuesdays, like last year and the year before, so it stands to reason that this year’s event could also take place on a Tuesday.
Like we said, the event will most likely see the announcement of the iPhone SE 2/iPhone 9, and it is also possible that maybe some iPad or MacBook refreshes could be announced, but until Apple has officially confirmed it, take it with a grain of salt for now.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in China, many factories have since been forced to shut down. Also, due to people getting sick or being suspected of having the virus, many are being quarantined which ultimately affects the workforce. This is why it doesn’t come as a surprise to learn that Apple has since issued a warning about potential iPhone supply shortages.
According to Apple, “While our iPhone manufacturing partner sites are located outside the Hubei province — and while all of these facilities have reopened — they are ramping up more slowly than we had anticipated. The health and well-being of every person who helps make these products possible is our paramount priority, and we are working in close consultation with our suppliers and public health experts as this ramp continues.”
In addition to warning about potential iPhone shortages, Apple has also issued a warning to investors about possibly missing their revenue guidance for March. This is due to how Apple had previously shuttered some of its stores in China due to the virus, which has also affected third-party retailers.
The company notes that while they are slowly reopening their stores in the region, they note that these stores will have reduced operating hours, which has affected customer traffic, which in turn could ultimately affect how products the company can sell, at least through its stores.

If you recall, last week there was a rumor that Apple could be working on a new pair of AirPods in the form of the AirPods Pro Lite. The original report claimed that the earbuds were on track for a launch in Q2 2020, but now according to a new report from DigiTimes, they are claiming that the earbuds have since been “delayed”.
The report reads, “Production of the AirPods Pro Lite, an entry-level version of Apple’s AirPods Pro series, is unlikely to kick off in the second quarter as originally planned, according to industry sources.” It is unclear why the earbuds might be delayed, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it were due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in China, where many of Apple’s suppliers’ factories are located.
In fact, Apple recently warned that there could be iPhone supply shortages due to the virus, so we wouldn’t be surprised if it were to also affected the rumored AirPods Pro Lite. That being said, we are still skeptical about the existence of such a device.
This is because a “Lite” model would suggest that this could be a version of the AirPods Pro except with some features missing or taken out. However, it would also put it in an awkward position as the regular AirPods with the wireless charging case is only a $50 price difference with the AirPods Pro, meaning that it is unclear how this “Lite” model would fit in the lineup.
Either way, take it with a grain of salt for now, and we’ll just have to wait and see how this pans out.
