At the March 8 event, Apple is expected to unveil third-gen iPhone SE. The smartphone is expected to bring 5G support enabled by Apple A15 Bionic processor. It is expected to look identical to the current model, which was launched in 2020, with 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 no different.

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