When is the next Apple event?

Updated 01/29/19: Apple has not yet officially announced any events for 2019, but we have updated this article with our current best estimates.

Apple doesn’t often participate in big industry-wide events like CES or E3. The most valuable company in the world holds its own events, thank you very much. Several times a year, Apple invites the press and industry professionals out to a theater to hear all about its latest products and services. Apple calls these “Special Events,” and streams them online to its millions of fans.

There’s also WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day event in the middle of the year focused on sessions for developers, helping them make the most out of the latest Apple tools and products. It kicks off with a big keynote that serves to announce new products (typically the latest versions of iOS and macOS, as well as a few hardware products).

Apple usually announces the exact dates of its special events only a couple weeks in advance, but it tends to hold events at similar times from one year to the next. Here’s a list of the events we expect Apple to hold in 2019, and what we expect it to announce there.

The next Apple Event: March 2019?

Last year, Apple held an education-themed event on March 27 at the Lane Tech College Prep School in Chicago, where it announced the new 9.7-inch iPad. There was no event in March of 2017, but Apple held one in March of 2016 and 2015, with a number of new products and software updates at each.

Rumors suggest that a slew of new products are coming soon. AirPower, second-generation AirPods, a new iPad mini and 9.7-inch iPad, and a new iPod Touch are all due for release “soon,” if the rumor mill is to be believed.

Then there are the old rumors that just won’t die: That Apple is working on a new iPhone SE and high-end over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones.
