New Delhi: The eyes of the technology world are now fixed on Apple's first big event of the year 2026. The company has officially confirmed its first event to take place on March 4. Apple is calling it “Special Apple Experience”, which is going to be different from the traditional keynote this time. Plans for face-to-face sessions in New York, London and Shanghai indicate that the company may focus on showcasing the products more closely this time.

Why is this Apple event considered different from previous events?

Apple usually shows its big events live online, but this time it did not happen indicating that the company is giving priority to hands-on experience for the media and select people. It is also being speculated that the event may be more interactive.

Will iPhone 17e be the main attraction of the event?

According to reports, iPhone 17e could become the biggest highlight of the March 4 event. This phone could replace the existing iPhone 16e and will further Apple's affordable iPhone strategy. It is believed that the company wants to reach more users through this model who want flagship features but do not want to pay high prices.

What changes can happen in iPhone 17e in design and display?

According to initial information, a 6.1-inch OLED display can be given in iPhone 17e. The biggest change could be that Apple replaces the old notch design with a dynamic island design. If this happens, it will be considered a major design upgrade in Apple's entry-level iPhone lineup.

Why has the discussion increased regarding budget MacBooks?

In this event, not only iPhone but also big announcements related to MacBook are expected. Reports suggest that Apple may introduce a new entry-level MacBook, which may come with iPhone-class A-series processors instead of the common M-series chips. This can help keep the price down.

What features are expected in the new MacBook?

This budget MacBook can be given a slightly smaller display, an aluminum body and many color options. If this model comes to market, it could become an attractive option, especially for students and first-time Mac buyers.

What new things can be seen in the iPad lineup?

Apart from iPhone and MacBook, Apple can also refresh the iPad lineup in this event. According to reports, new versions of the standard iPad and iPad Air may be introduced. There is a possibility of a chip upgrade in these, which will improve performance and may also increase the time of software support.

What message does Apple want to convey through this event?

This entire event is indicating that Apple wants to strengthen its product portfolio as early as 2026. The company can try to connect more and more users to its ecosystem through affordable iPhones, budget MacBooks, and updated iPads.

Overall, this event to be held on March 4 can prove to be not only a platform for a new product launch for Apple but also a big step in giving direction to the market in the beginning of the year.
