Apple Sets March 4 ‘Special Apple Experience’ With Simultaneous Press Gatherings in Three Cities

Apple is opting for tightly controlled, in-person briefings for select media in New York, London and Shanghai.

Overview

  • Apple’s invitations describe the gatherings as a “Special Apple Experience,” signaling an experiential format rather than a traditional keynote, and outlets note no livestream has been announced.
  • Reporting led by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman ties the date to a wide slate that could include an iPhone 17e, a lower-cost MacBook with an A18‑class chip, refreshed MacBook Air and Pro models, and new iPads.
  • Gurman cautions that the full rumored lineup may not be shown on March 4, with some products potentially reserved for later announcements.
  • The invitation’s light green, blue and yellow motif is highlighted in coverage as potentially aligning with tested color options for the rumored budget MacBook.
  • Some reports speculate on software news such as a refreshed Siri and possible Google AI involvement, though Apple has not confirmed any such plans.
