Apple Watch event announced for March 9th

Apple Watch event announced for March 9th

With Apple sending out invites for its time-themed 'Spring Forward' event on March 9 in San Francisco, it's a certainty that the company will fill in the missing details on its new Watch line, which it unveiled back in September.

We know the Watch will start shipping in April  and will start at $349 in the US for the aluminum-and-glass Apple Watch Sport, with prices elsewhere yet to be announced (a rough conversion would be £220 or AU$380). However, we don't know what higher-end tiers of the watch will cost, or what accessories will be priced at.

What Else We Really Can Expect?

A slick new MacBook Air?
A new version of Apple’s MacBook Air notebook has long been rumored, and Apple may use this event to unveil it. The new laptop is expected to have a higher-resolution “retina” screen and could be Apple’s first to use a new, smaller type of USB connector.

A bigger “iPad Pro?”
Rumor had it that Apple had a larder iPad in the works, but with demand so high for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple's suppliers just didn't have the brandwidth to produce that product. Maybe we'll see that product now.


A new Apple TV?
Apple’s media streaming device is overdue for an update. One idea is that the Apple Watch could be a useful remote control for “smart home” technologies, ranging from internet-connected lighting to security systems. Meanwhile, Apple has been working on a platform called HomeKitstart shipping in April that is designed to manage some of these devices. One theory is that a new Apple TV could be the hub for this sort of system. We’ll see.



New Networking Device ?
It's been well over a year since Apple's Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme updated (June 2013), and AirPort Express was last updated in June 2012. So, yes, it's time for some new hardware updates. It's just a question whether the that time is March 9 or not.
