Apple Spring event is coming — but when will we see new iPad Pro, iPad mini 6 and AirTags?

An Apple Spring event is happening, where we could see a new iPad Pro 2021, the AirTags and more. But the date seems to be up in the air.

Taiwan’s Economic Daily News reports that Apple’s next big event will take place on Tuesday March 16. Suffice it to say that translation engines aren’t much help on the nature of its sources, but the article does cite two Twitter accounts — @LeaksApplePro and @FrontTron — as independently coming up with the same date.

Not so fast, though. One of the most reliable Apple reporters around, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, says in no uncertain terms that said date is off the table.

It gets more interesting. @LeaksApplePro responded, saying he would “investigate a bit more” before tweeting later that there would definitely be an event in March, albeit with no confirmation of the 16th.

Seeing you guys a bit lost.There *is* a March event.Now we all thought it was the 16th but Mark seems to have heard a different date, but that’s it.Don’t worry, you will have an event.February 20, 2021

So while you should certainly take the March 16 date with a whole shaker of salt, something is coming. Spring events have long been a feature in the Apple calendar, with the 2020 iPad Pro debuting on March 18. In 2019, it was March 25 and in 2018 it fell on March 27, so later is certainly possible.

There’s a long list of things we might see at the Apple Spring 2021 event, but the report keeps the list of likely candidates to three: a new iPad Pro, a refreshed iPad mini and the long awaited AirTags.

The star of the show will undoubtedly be the 2021 iPad Pro. While it’s not expected to be a dramatic redesign, the tablet is tipped to receive an upgraded mini-LED display, new built-in magnets to up its accessory game and 5G for those prepared to pay extra for a cellular model.

Next up is the iPad mini 6, which hasn’t seen a refresh since 2019. That may seem a long time in Apple terms, but it’s worth remembering that before that the company hadn’t released a new mini tablet since 2015. In any case, this could be more of a dramatic redesign, given the 2019 version looked a lot like its 2015 predecessor. The rumors point to smaller bezels,…

Apple iPad Air 4 deals reach lowest price ever in Amazon’s Presidents’ Day Sales

February 13, 2021/in Apple News, iPad News /by AppleCrisp

We’ve spotted one of the best iPad deals this year so far over at the Amazon Presidents’ Day sale – the new Apple iPad 4 for just $539.99 (was $599).

At a full $59 less than retail price, this latest iPad deal from Amazon is a whole $10 to $20 better than the usual sale we see on the Air 4. What’s more, unlike in previous sales, all colors are available at a discount and for immediate delivery – that’s honestly quite rare for iPad deals, especially at Amazon. Subsequently, whether you want to go for a more subdued traditional hue like the Space Gray, or one of the more eye-catching new colors like Green or Sky Blue – the choice is yours.

The iPad Air 4 is the latest tablet from Apple and one that sits rather comfortably between the more basic standard 10.2 iPad (also on sale), and the more premium iPad Pro range. While it forgoes some of the bells and whistles of the Pro series (like a LiDAR scanner) it’s still packing the latest Apple A14 chip, giving it plenty of grunt under the hood for all those intensive applications. With a new squared-off aesthetic and near-all screen display, we can’t lie – it also simply looks fantastic.

If you’d like to see what else is discounted this weekend, head on over to our main Presidents’ Day sale page. If you’re visiting us from outside the US, you can also see the best prices on iPad deals near you just down below.

Satechi 2-in-1 USB-C wireless charger supports AirPods and Apple Watch

February 9, 2021/in Apple News, iPad News /by AppleCrisp

Satechi is back with a new version of the USB wireless charger it launched for AirPods early last year. The new version, which Satechi calls the USB-C Watch AirPods Charger, features a 2-in-1 design that is used to charge both the Apple Watch and the AirPods, depending on which direction you plug it into your MacBook or iPad.

As with the model released last year, the new USB-C Watch AirPods Charger is a small puck-like accessory that directly connects to the USB-C port on your laptop or iPad. The big difference this time around is that each side of the accessory is a charging pad.

When plugged in with the AirPods charging surface facing up, users can place their AirPods case directly on the dongle to wirelessly charge it. When the dongle is reversed to the opposite side is facing up, the Apple Watch can be directly placed on it to charge.

The new wireless charger is made from aluminum and has a design that pairs well with Apple devices. The device’s small size makes it highly portable, meaning it is one of the more convenient ways to recharge your accessories when away from the office without having to carry multiple cables and chargers.

Satechi says this is an Apple-exclusive accessory, so you’ll need to order it from Apple’s website if you want one. The device is available now for $49.95 USD.

Best iPad Air cases 2021: Protect Apple’s newest tablet

Best iPad Air 2020 case

Apple changed the game up pretty substantially when it launched the latest iPad Air – it’s a significant upgrade on the last Air, and very much makes the tablet a middle-ground between the standard iPad and iPad Pro range.

The new tablet is the very first device to feature Apple’s A14 chip, making it really powerful, and it’s also got the newer, rounded design of the Pro range, although it’s got its own size and therefore accessories and cases. This is a really pretty tablet, and a potent one, too, so there’s no doubt that you’ll want to pick up a case for it, to make sure that it’s not too vulnerable to wear and tear. We’ve gathered some of the very best available, right here.

Apple Smart Folio

Apple’s folding case for its iPads has become entirely iconic, and immediately synonymous with the iPad since so many people rock them when they pick up a new iPad.

That’s with good reason, too – they’re superb cases that give you a good degree of protection while remaining sleek and classy, while that folding cover both protects your screen and lets you prop the tablet up for better viewing angles.

Apple Smart Keyboard Folio

If you want a similar folio-style case for your iPad Air, but want to take advantage of its power by getting some work done on it, you might want one that packs in…
