Apple may skip a spring event and instead announce new iPads, M3 MacBook Air online

Apple is expected to have some big releases coming soon — including new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, and the M3 MacBook Air — but it reportedly won’t be hosting a big spring announcement event. IN newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Apple “plans to announce the new products on its website with a series of online videos and marketing campaigns.” If so, it will be two years in a row that Apple has passed on a spring event, with this year being especially packed with new products.

In whatever format the messages come, they will happen soon. Gurman, however, more conservatively predicts that the hardware drop will come this month or next. Along with the iPad Pro refresh and the new 12.9-inch iPad Air, Gurman reports that Apple plans to announce new Apple Pencils and Magic Keyboards. It is also expected to launch the M3 MacBook Air in 13-inch and 15-inch models.
