Apple ‘Peek Performance’ Event: What To Expect On March 8
Apple has sent out invites for a product launch event slated for March 8, where the company is rumored to introduce a new low-cost iPhone, among other gadgets. This is Apple's first hardware launch event of the year, but it won't be the last one. And going by the rumored jampacked device portfolio planned for 2022, the company will reportedly hold three events in the ongoing year, in addition to the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) for revealing software innovations.
Aside from new phones and iPads, the company is expected to launch two new MacBooks and updates to members across every Mac form factor in 2022. More importantly, the next-gen in-house M2 silicon will also be making its debut this year, alongside souped-up versions of the existing M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. And finally, there's the rumored rugged version of the Apple Watch Series 8.

As usual, Apple hasn't shared any hardware reveal plans ahead of its 'Peek Performance' event on March 8 that kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific time, but the rumor mill has been anything but silent. Reliable sources like Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman and TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have predicted an iPhone SE refresh for the event next week, alongside the fifth-generation iPad Air and possibly new Mac hardware as well. All eyes will be on the third-generation iPhone SE, which is said to embrace 5G without any significant price bump compared to its predecessor. The design will reportedly be the same as the last-gen iPhone SE, which in turn borrows its looks from the iPhone 8. However, the more meaningful upgrade is under the hood.
