Apple has confirmed a product event for March 4, with rumors pointing to new Macs and other hardware. The announcement comes as iOS 26.4 launches with a robust set of features despite missing Siri capabilities. Bloomberg reports Apple is accelerating development of new AI wearables including glasses and a clip-on pendant.

iOS 26.4 introduces several notable updates including enhanced video podcast experiences in Apple Podcasts, end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging support, and a new Playlist Playground AI feature for Apple Music. The update also adds support for a new category of CarPlay apps. Apple's official data shows adoption rates for the latest iOS version.

Industry watchers expect the March event to potentially span multiple days of press releases without a traditional keynote presentation. The timing aligns with reports of a low-cost MacBook launching next month in "fun colors." Apple's push into AI hardware represents a significant expansion of its product ecosystem beyond traditional devices.
