Apple To Host “Peek Performance” Event on March 8

Broadcast live from Apple Park at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.

Apple is set to host its next event, titled “Peek Performance,” on Tuesday, March 8.

The event will be broadcast on Apple.com from the tech giant’s Cupertino headquarters at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. HYPEBEAST will be tuning in live to cover the event virtually.

Sources told Bloomberg last month that the showcase would likely announce a “new low-cost iPhone and an updated iPad.” This could mean a new update to the iPhone SE, which may include the addition of 5G network capabilities, alongside an improved camera and a faster processor. The new iPad could be an enhanced Air model that also includes 5G and a faster processor.

The outlet added that a new Mac with Apple-designed chips may soon be unveiled, alongside an iOS 15.4 update, which was released for public beta testing in January.

The new iOS 15.4 will allow iPhone users to unlock their device using Face ID while wearing a mask, a highly-requested feature during the pandemic. Several new emojis have also been added, including heart hands, biting lip, pregnant person and pregnant man, hamsa and more. In addition, users will have the ability to copy text from objects using the camera while in the Notes or Reminders apps. Other utilities are also in the works.

The last Apple event, titled “Unleashed,” was held in October and debuted a new MacBook Pro lineup, AirPods updates and colorful HomePod minis. You can read more about the biggest announcements here.
