Apple announces March 4 event, new MacBooks expected

Apple has sent out invitations for its first event of 2026. Taking place on March 4 in select New York City, London, and Shanghai locations. Given that Apple has historically announced Macbook Airs (2024) and Mac and iPad refreshes (2025) in time for Spring, speculation is running high that we might see those long rumoured 12.9-inch MacBooks (powered by A18 processors).

The return of the MacBook

The invitation, which was sent to chosen Apple bloggers, shows the Apple logo rendered in various colours in liquid glass. High chance those colors, including blue, yellow, and green could be what the sub US$800 notebooks could be coming in.

If this is the successor to the much beloved, but underpowered 2015 MacBook, it could cover much needed gaps in Apple's educational market, as well as entice PC users seeking a powerful and portable alternative to now unsupported Windows 10 notebooks.

While we aren't sure if it's an intentional or unintentional move, Apple's Siri voice assistant has information on the upcoming Apple event. When asked, "When is the next Apple event?" Siri responds with, "the special event is on Tuesday, April 20, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA. You can get all the details on Apple.com." According to MacRumors, the virtual assistant is sharing the information in certain instances on different Apple devices. 

It's long been speculated that Apple has an upcoming launch. Perhaps the company wanted to introduce that uniquely. And as Engadget pointed out, Apple press event invites are usually sent a week before they happen, so we're expecting to get confirmation today.

What will the company launch? We might see two new iPad Pro models and the launch of the AirTags Bluetooth tracker. We'll make sure to send out updates when we get them.
