As we have a lot of news about Apple iPhone SE 2 a recent report from Tekz24 which had also reported back in January that the new iPhone SE 2 would feature a glass back for wireless charging.

At the keynote event on March 27, Apple is also expected to launch a new gold blush-colored variant of its iPhone X device. If you remember, Apple had launched a Red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus variant at the end of last year and this year Apple might repeat this trend by launching a new gold blush-colored variant of iPhone X.

3- AirPower & AirPods Case

4- iBooks Update
Apple’s iBooks Author app which hasn’t received any major update since 2012 is also expected to receive an update on the event. As we already know that Apple recently made a major change to its iBook app by giving it a new name as “Apple Books” in an iOS 11.3 beta. There are some reports as well which have suggested that Apple is working on bringing a completely revamped version of the.

5- Entry-Level MacBook
At the March event, Apple is expected to announce a cheaper version of its 13-inch MacBook aiming especially the education sector. The new MacBook could be a MacBook Air or a whole new MacBook. The starting price is rumored to be anywhere from $799 to $999, which I think would be quite reasonable especially for the students. Let’s see what comes out finally.

6- ClassKit SDK
With its second beta of iOS 11.3 release last month Apple added several new features and improvements to its mobile platform including a new public development framework called ‘ClassKit SDK’.

The new ClassKit SDK framework will allow developers of educational apps to create student evaluation features.

The students will be able to answer questionnaires that will be automatically transmitted to teachers remotely via iCloud. The system suggests that this framework will enable a sort of “kiosk mode” to prevent the student from exiting the app during an exam.

7- 9.7-inch iPad
Apple had released an entry-level iPad last year in  March and this year too Apple seems to be launching a new iPad but a bit cheaper than the last year’s iPad which was priced at $329 but this year’s Apple iPad is said to be priced at around $259 which I think is quite affordable. But we will have to wait for the final announcement of the upcoming Apple event.

8- iOS 11.3
Apple released its second beta iOS 11.3 last month and we now have a huge list of new expected features and improvements from the iOS 11.3 launch which is said to be a major announcement from the Apple March Education Event.
