Many Apple products could show, but reporters and leakers arent entirely confident about their timeline.
iPhone SE 5G
Apples least expensive smartphone is poised to receive a much-needed upgrade.
Apple is rumored to start mass production this month with 25 million to 30 million (!)

iPhone SE 3 units estimated to be sold in 2022.
There is no word yet on pricing but dont expect a decrease from the current $399 price.
If anything, Apple may raise the price by $50 or so to account for expensive 5G modems.

Of course, trading in an old phone will help offset that cost.
Confidence Level: Very High.
The iPhone SE will be at the event.

This rig will receive similar updates as the iPhone SE, putting it on par with the iPad mini.
That means faster performance and future-proof connectivity (note: the iPad mini only has sub-6GHz 5G).
Just dont expect any other changesthe iPad Air 5 will be your standard gen-to-gen refresh.

Confidence Level: High.
Mac mini
This is where things get interesting.
There could even be separate M1 (standard) and M1 Pro/Max (high-end) options.
Confidence Level: High.
MacBook Air and Pro with M2
I dont know about this one.
The MacBook Air is certainly due for a refresh after debuting with Apples M1 chip in November 2020.
Apart from those upgrades, the MacBook Pro 13isnt expected to receive any major changes.
Confidence Level: Medium.
This is a tricky one.
Dont have the cash for that screen?
We voiced our grievances over the omission last year after Appledebuted the iMac.
This year, our prayers might be answered.
Its something of a coin toss.
Confidence Level: Medium.
It sounds like Apple is readying more budget-friendly monitors, but we dont know when it/they will arrive.
Another new Mac?
Gurman expects at least one Mac to be revealed at the March 8 event.
The Mac mini is likely but doesnt really answer the events mysterious Peek performance tagline.
As it stands, only the 24-inch iMac runs on Apple chips.
Apple also needs to update the Mac Pro, its high-end desktop.
Predictions for Apple’s new desktop products:1.
2022: More powerful Mac mini and more affordable external display (27-inch without mini-LED).2.
2023: Mac Pro and iMac Pro.
Confidence Level: Low.
I doubt well see another Mac besides the high-end Mac mini (Mac mini Pro?
), but its possible.
Im being vague here because we havent quite pinpointed what gear Apple is referring to.
So then, what is it?
9to5Mac predicts this product could replace the Intel-powered high-end Mac mini.
Peek performance could also just mean 5G support for the iPhone SE and iPad Air.
