Apple is expected to host an event in Spring where it will see fit to announce new product upgrades, such as the OLED iPad Pro and iPad Air. While the company has not shared details on the potential event, we expect the new products to arrive by the end of next month. Besides the new products, Apple is also expected to announce new colors for its accessories, including watch bands for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Apple looking to launch new "Navy Blue" and "Emerald" Apple Watch bands in the Spring
Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple is expected to announce new iPad Pro and MacBook Air models in the Spring. The analyst speculated that the company could host an event by the end of March. While we are expecting a handful of products from Apple, MacRumors forum member "mikedop" shared color details of the upcoming Apple Watch bands. It appears that the company is looking to announce Navy Blue and Emerald color options for the Apple Watch bands.
The Apple Watch band collector states that details related to the Sport Loop bands, shown in the image below, originate from China. The colors mentioned by the tipster are "Navy Blue" and "Emerald." However, it was pointed out that the official name of the colors could be different. Note that these are rumored color choices, as the final word rests with Apple. We could see different color options altogether.
Besides this, Apple could also be working on a new iPhone 15 color option. Last year, the company introduced a new yellow-colored iPhone 14. Before this, the company launched a forest green color option for the iPhone 13. What color option the company will choose this year for the iPhone 15 remains to be seen. Potentially, Apple could choose a solid color option as it did before, moving away from the pastels.
As mentioned earlier, Apple is rumored to launch the new OLED iPad Pro models with a major redesign. The devices would feature a redesigned chassis with a slightly bigger display. The 'Pro' models will also house the new M3 chip with enhanced computational and graphical performance. The company could also debut MagSafe technology on the iPad for the first time.
Besides the iPad Pro, Apple is also reportedly to launch a new 12.9-inch iPad Air, following the footsteps of the 'Pro' model. We also anticipate upgraded MacBook Air models with an M3 chip and an identical design to the current models. The company could host a dedicated event by the end of March to launch the aforementioned devices. However, be sure to take the news with a grain of salt as the company could announce the new upgrades via press release.
