Don't you think that it is long overdue for Apple to roll out a successor to the MacBook Pro 2016 and the MacBook Air 2016? Obviously thinner and lighter will be part of the agenda, with rumors of Touch ID and an OLED touchscreen, not to mention a Q4 release date for the MacBook Pro 2016. As for the MacBook Air 2016, that might be a non-starter for all concerned with whispers that Apple is going to discontinue the model.

On other hand, the iPhone SE will feature Touch ID button, which is compatible with Apple Pay and VoLTE.  The 4-inch iPhone will be available with 16GB and 64 GB storage variant.

Aside from iPhone SE and iPad Air 3, the March keynote event will present new line of Apple Watch straps. This could include new Sports Band options, new colors for the Hermes bands, a black version of the Milanese Lopp and brand-new line up of bands made from different materials.
