This is not about whether or not they're going to launch those devices, it's about how they are going to launch them. And possibly a big live event is not it with the current war going on.

somehow I think Apple does not want the spotlight of an event during the current situation, so 2 options:
. press releases
. postpone til ???
. press releases

This all hinged on M2 being released this spring, which no credible sources have predicted so far. If the new Mac devices are powered by M1 Pro and the iPhone SE and iPad by A15, there shouldn’t be an event.
When did that start?
In other words, “What happened to that thing that was never there”? It continued, stubbornly, to not-exist.
Who expected a big, live event in the first place? This was always going to be a pre-recorded video at best. Press release most likely.
or, what’s more likely, Apple change the event within the last several days due to recent world events, and Mark wasn’t informed.
It could literally be just that simple
We’re talking about an online event, they can send out invites whenever they want and have the event whenever they want, they don’t have to worry about people actually showing up to the campus.
It’s most likely that it’s been delayed a week or two just to let things hopefully calm down
In light of the awful situation in the Ukraine, maybe Apple's opting for either a silent launch or even pressing Pause altogether. 💪🇺🇦❤️
Having or not having an online Apple event is surely helping the people in the russia-ukrainian war.
They will not cancel an event because of events, the issue is mark just guesses now days so this event could be April or late march no one knows
no idea what's gonna happen
event is coming later or no event at all
just press releases next week maybe?

It would be tone deaf of Apple to host an upbeat event while there's a war raging in Ukraine escalating every day. I kind of doubt there will be an event while there is still war going on.
My guess now: April 5, 2022, with virtual invitations going out March 29, 2022. I think Apple now wants to make sure there are enough supplies of the new models before introduction.
Maybe Apple is trolling the leakers? There’s no law that says they have to follow the same predictable pattern they have in the past.
This war could go on for a month or a year. War in the middle east in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria has gone on for years. I'm pretty sure Apple does not plan product announcements around wars.
No one is saying that this event is more important than what's going on in Ukraine. People can care about more than one thing simultaneously.
well here's an incredibly wild thought!....How about in the SPRING? the spring begins on 21st March, and ends on 20th June so all these people complaining invites have not gone out yet for the '' spring '' event... ITS NOT SPRING ! use your heads not your sheep-like eyes to listen to all the YouTubers who fill your heads with nothing but lies.
True. On the other hand, an online “event” is really nothing more than a video press release. Apple can do whatever it chooses to do.
If rumors are true, Apple is basically adding the A15 chip and 5G to a 2017 iPhone (based on the 2014 design) and a 2018 iPad, and the new M2 chip to a 2016 MacBook Pro. A press release is enough.
