Event Details

Apple has announced an event for March 4, branded a “Special Apple Experience.” The event will kick off at 9 AM ET, and Ars will be on the ground in New York City to cover Apple’s latest unveiling, whatever form it may take. Apple doesn’t release most products on a set schedule, but some recent speculation about likely hardware updates can point us in the right direction.

Potential Announcements

As we reported recently, the iPhone 17e may be making an appearance in Apple’s lineup soon. This updated version of the budget‑oriented iPhone will have an A19 chip inside, similar to the one powering the base model iPhone 17. It may also add MagSafe charging, but don’t expect a multi‑camera array like you’d get on the more expensive Apple phones. Pricing will be the most important thing to watch for should Apple announce this phone. Right now, the non‑Pro iPhone 16 and 17 (including the 16e) are all clustered in the $600–$800 range, so another $599 budget iPhone wouldn’t make waves.
