As Renee Richie helpfully points out, the team that creates the graphics for these events usually have no idea what will be announced.
Apple gives them a spec, like ”use these colors and use this font” or whatever, and that’s about it.
The event on March 9, 2015 was called “spring forward.” This one is called “Spring loaded.”
The colors are just the colors of the new iPhone and Apple Watch spring cases and bands that were leaked a couple weeks ago.
Again, keep expectations low.

Yes, I'm sure the whole graphics design team doesn't know what's coming, but there's still a chain of command that reaches executives that do know what's coming and they have the control.

The Spring Forward event in 2015 focused on the Apple Watch, hence the daylight savings time reference. This means Apple possibly did name an event based on a product they were releasing.

I've been following Apple for a while so I know to keep my expectations low, but it's always fun to speculate!
 
I use the Costco system for predictions: Whats on sale from Apple? For a while its been 21.5 IMACS. Now this week its IPOD minis. So, I predict these next week (there could be others). Bigger IPOD Mini and 24 inch IMAC.

iPod Mini has been discontinued for almost 16 years....
 
I’m hoping for an iPad Pro with a camera on the long side, and more robust display support. If it’s not there, I’ll wait for the new MBP in the fall.
 
I'm actually most excited for the AirTags simply because I still have PTSD from the one time I lost my keys, and the locksmith had to completely destroy and replace the lock so that I could get back into my house. Cost me over $1k for service and lock & deadbolt replacement.

Same here. Somehow dropped my wallet during a run (how I have no idea), which had my key in it. I had to pay 8万円, so about $800 for him to let me in. I get you it's an absolutely horrible experience, I was shook up the rest of the evening.

I'll be sticking one of these on my keyring ASAP.

iPhone SE update - last update less than a year ago so won't happen. Anything with more features than the current SE would kill a lot of 11 sales

History tells us won't be any updates to the SE until Apple moves to a new design. We all wanted updates to the OG SE and none came, I fully expect the same with the current SE. The next SE will be an iPhone X inspired phone (or maybe 11, since that was a cheaper design).


All this talk of AirPods makes me want to go and buy a new pair of AirPods. I hated the Pro and really enjoy the current design.
 
Just hope this post is not deleted too!

I want to see an updated iPad Mini/Pro with current design styling, new cameras both front and back and 6GB RAM. That is all I asking for.

Please do not delete this post like you have done 4 of my previous post earlier today! Thanks!
 
I'm not a fan of the "spring loaded" name. It's so Northern hemisphere centric. I know US company and all, but Apple could actually recognise the fact that they have a presence across all of the planet.

Well I guess Apple aren't interested in this, just like Apple are not interest to recognise the fact that all people are equal and every equally deserves the chance at help to become a better developer, not providing one particular segment in society exponentially more help.

I am aware the Spring most likely doesn't relate to the seasons but still Apple should know better . . . but Apple don't care.

Speaking from experience, asking for your posts not to be deleted doesn't increase the chance they will or will not be deleted. I've had a number of mine removed over the years also. Best to just move on from it.
As you know I can't say any more here about it but I'm sure you can read between the lines.

you cant be serious right?

firstly, spring is related to the distance our planet is towards the sun, since the earth moves in a oval orbit around the sun. its got nothing to do with nothern hemisphere, thats just how YOU relate spring with.

secondly, the fact that you turned this into a question of equality is kinda crazy. you need to recheck your argument man.

third, spring is already messed up for anyway, it should be plenty warm, but instead its freezing cold. its complete haywire.

The name cannot be anything else other than a reference to the Java Spring Framework! Yeah, let's get back to a REAL MAN programming language!!!

Well, spring arrives in the first half of the year for the northern hemisphere while it arrives in the 2nd half of the year for the southern hemisphere. I think that's what the poster meant.

ah. good to know im an idiot. :c

i will hide in a corner.

my other argument still stands. its just weird to turn it into an argument of equality
 
It it obvious that Apple would want to release all new hardware products before WWDC which would be as always, focused on software. I expect new iMac, Macbook Pro 16inch, iPads, AirTag, Apple TV with M1 and AirPods. 6 products, 10-15 minutes screen time for each one and 1,5h event in total. It should be loaded indeed.
 
In the invite received by email from Apple states "Novedades de todos los colores" instead of "Spring loaded". That, in spanish, means "Novelties in all colors". Maybe, not only iPads then...
 
The BEST use I can think of in my case, are AirTags for luggage. Think of all the people in an Airport with iPhones that can help you find them in case they go missing.
Can do exact same thing with any tracker that supports Find My.

Exactly. There is a Creative Director who likely would receive a detailed brief to start any work. I’d be surprised if it were as vague as Richie claims. Without specific parameters, you’re basically throwing a dart.
 
In addition to the iPad Pro, there will probably also be an updated keyboard so they can handle Thunderbolt pass thru.
