Apple has scheduled its first major event of 2026 for March 4 at 9AM ET in New York City. The tech giant invited press to an "Apple Experience" that will simultaneously take place in London and Shanghai. Apple hasn't confirmed whether the event will stream publicly, leaving speculation about what new products might debut.

Reports indicate Apple will likely unveil new MacBooks during the event. Expect a refreshed MacBook Air alongside updated 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Rumors also suggest a colorful entry-level MacBook could make its debut in light yellow, green, blue, and pink colorways.

iPad fans may see new hardware as well, with an entry-level model featuring the A18 chip and support for Apple Intelligence potentially being announced. The iPad Air could receive an upgrade with the M4 chip. Apple is also expected to update its Mac Studio, Studio Display, and Mac mini later in 2026.
