Apple debuted the M1 chip with MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Since, the company has upgraded the MacBook Pro with more powerful chips and new design language. Now, it is time for MacBook Air redesign.

What to expect: A15 Bionic powered iPad Air 5G
Like the iPhone SE, the iPad Air is expected to get a new chip (A15 Bionic) for improved performance and 5G. It may, however, look similar to the on-going model -- flat edges, thin bezels, USB-C, and TouchID.

What to expect: iPhone SE 5G
At the March 8 event, Apple is expected to unveil third-gen iPhone SE. The smartphone is expected to bring 5G, enabled by Apple's A15 Bionic processor. The phone would likely be identical to the current model, which was launched in 2020. It would feature a 4.7-inch screen, TouchID, thin-and-lightweight design, and compact form factor. The iPhone SE is the entry-level series in the Apple’s smartphone line, and the third-gen is expected to be no different.
