Apple Spring Event 2021 – new gadgets coming in April, leakers claim

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, 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.

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

The spring events typically take place in March.

Here are the event dates in previous years:

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:

Apple normally announces its events at least a week beforehand, so you can realistically scratch April 5 and April 6 off of the list of likely dates.

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.
