Apple March 16 event: Rumoured AirTags, mini LED iPad Pro may launch

It looks like Apple might be holding one of its first launch events of 2021, on March 16. According to a tipster, LeaksApplePro, the company won't just be revealing the long rumoured AirTags accessory in the virtual event, but as reported by the Economic Daily News news website, Apple might also reveal faster iPad Pro models and a redesigned iPad Mini.

The updated iPad Pro model, if only launched on March 16, will be coming exactly a year after the 2020 iPad Pro series was launched on March 18 last year. Similarly, in 2019 the date was March 25, and in 2018 Apple launched the new iPad Pro devices on March 27.

The upgraded tablet, according to several rumours and leaks, might support a mini LED display. The piece of news is backed by analyst Ming Chi Kuo as well. This won’t just improve the screen visuals, but will save more power as well. It's worth mentioning that the series might also include the first 5G supporting iPad. Rumours have indicated that these can come with additional built-in magnets to support some new accessories.

As for the 2021 iPad Mini, the drastic change can come in the form of significantly shrunk bezels, which will allow Apple to fit in more than 9-inch of screen in the same design and body dimensions.

The AirTags accessories, as mentioned in rumours and leaks, will attach to a key chain or a purse. And using an iPhone, you will be able to track down the device if it gets misplaced. Previous leaks have also pointed out that the AirTags will be the size of a bottle cap and circular in shape.
