iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 Release Date Details

According to the latest reports, in a little over a month you will be able to buy the new iPad Air 3 and a new 4-inch iPhone 5se. We expect to see the iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 release date in the same week, just days after a March Apple Event.

After more than a year of 4-inch iPhone rumors, it looks like we’ll finally see the iPhone 5se release date in mid-March. We should also see the iPad Air 3 release date. All this will come a few days after Apple announces the new products.

All of this will likely come with the iOS 9.3 release date, which is likely to arrive near this event and on new Apple products. The iOS 9.3 update adds a number of new features, including Night Shift, which changes the screen color for a better overview after sunset.

Here’s what you need to know about the current iPhone 5se release date and iPad Air 3 release date rumors.

March 2016 Apple Event Date

Mark Gurman’s latest report 9to5Mac Apple plans to host a special event on March 15. It’s a Tuesday event and will likely include a 4-inch iPhone 5se, iPad Air 3 with smart connector, and new Apple Watch options.

There’s no exact time or place for this event, but release dates may come so quickly that there’s no time or need to pre-order the iPhone 5se or pre-order the iPad Air 3.

It’s very good that Apple plans to offer Apple users a live stream of an Apple event in March.

4 inch iPhone 5se Release Date

We normally see a gap of a week or two between Apple’s announcement of a new iPhone and its release date, but this time that’s not the case.

It’s very likely that Apple is planning an iPhone 5se release date event on March 18, although sources warn that Apple could change plans at any time.

Gurman’s sources claim that production of the new iPhone began in early January, allowing for fast release timing.

Although there is no confirmation from Apple, the rumor says that the iPhone 5se release date will arrive in Apple Stores and online on the same day. This will likely also coincide with sales at carrier locations.

iPad Air 3 Release Date

At this March event, Apple will announce the new iPad Air 3 with a new Smart Connector to work with the keyboard, and the iPad Air 3 may also support Apple Pencil.

This latest report also points to the iPad Air 3 release date of March 18, along with in-store and online options. Sometimes we see the 4G LTE versions of the iPad arrive later than the WiFi-only option.

Users can expect a version of the Apple A9 processor, a better camera and possibly a rear flash.
