Apple announces a digital-only event dubbed “Peek performance” will be held on March 8 at 10am PT; a 5G iPhone SE, revamped iPad Air, and new Macs are expected
Apple Event Next Tuesday Alex Atkin / MSPoweruser : Apple announces March 8th event promising “peek performance” Tom Pritchard / Tom's Guide : Apple event teaser hints that the VR/AR headset could be coming Lance Ulanoff / TechRadar : Stop everything, Apple exec's tweet might've been an Apple VR Glasses demo Philip Elmer-DeWitt / Philip Elmer‑DeWitt : Gene Munster: Apple product lead times halved Steve Vegvari / iPhone in Canada Blog : New Twitter Hashflag Goes Live Ahead of Apple's March 8 Event Juli Clover / WRAL TechWire : What's Apple unveiling at media event March 8? MacRumors has the scoop Maria Deutscher / SiliconANGLE : Apple announces March 8 event where new iPhone SE could debut Chris Smith / Trusted Reviews : Apple Event: March 8 confirmed for launch - iPhone SE 5G, new Mac and iPad expected Rosie Perper / HYPEBEAST : Apple To Host “Peek Performance” Event on March 8 Tweets: Greg Joswiak / @gregjoz : Peek performance. March 8th. See you there. #AppleEvent https://t.co/cEKMq7BuBh Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : Apple is using a different “.reality” file format for the event teaser this time https://twitter.com/... Mark Gurman / @markgurman : For those looking for tea leaves in the invitation, though, the invites typically do give a pretty clear hint at what's to come. Peek performance clearly = 5G for the iPhone SE, new Macs with Apple Silicon and iPad Air with an A15. Federico Viticci / @viticci : Apple event confirmed. March 8th, 10 AM PST. Peak performance! https://twitter.com/... Joanna Stern / @joannastern : March 8 for the M2? Apple event invites are out. https://twitter.com/... Sascha C-Band / @saschasegan : @greengart @Apple I love that they aren't in person any more. Those events were always a middle-school-birthday-party nightmare of who's invited and who isn't, and the playing field is now level. Luke Miani / @lukemiani : I feel like iPhone SE with A15 and 5G, iPad Air with A15 and 5G, and either a new M1 Pro Mac mini or even M2 chip reveal wouldn't really be ‘Peek Performance’ idk... I feel like there's something significant there Dwight Silverman / @dsilverman : Yes, there will be lots of new shiny-shiny, but how will @tim_cook address the invasion of Ukraine, and Apple's decision to quit selling products in Russia? Apple Event Announced for March 8: ‘Peek Performance’ https://t.co/u1BLxlHWsl Chance Miller / @chancehmiller : Now seems clear that Apple did not want to announce an event on the same day it announced its actions in Russia. https://twitter.com/... Joe Rossignol / @rsgnl : I love how the Apple community spent the last 24 hours speculating about the March 8 event, myself included. In the end, Apple simply announced the event six days beforehand, just like its last event. Mark stayed quiet and was right all along 😁 https://twitter.com/... Noah Evans / @thisisnoahevans : Take a peek through Apple Glass 👀🕶 #AppleEvent https://twitter.com/... Sami Fathi / @samifathi_ : As we all analyze the “Peek performance” #AppleEvent invitation, it's worth pointing out that @Apple likes to trick and play with us. Don't read so deeply into things. https://twitter.com/... Ishan Agarwal / @ishanagarwal24 : Apple releases invite for an Apple Event “Peek Performance” on March 8 🗓 Expected products: - iPhone SE 5G (3rd Generation) - iPad Air (5th Generation) maybe - new M2 Mac mini/MacBook Air (since performance?) 🤷🏻♂ ️ 🕙 11:30PM IST/6PM GMT #AppleEvent https://twitter.com/... Joe Rossignol / @rsgnl : I still don't think we're going to get the M2 at this event. Simply doesn't make sense to me until Apple has finished rolling out all Macs with M1 Pro/M1 Max. But anything is possible... Vadim Yuryev / @vadimyuryev : Pretty cool hashflag this time around! #AppleEvent SERIOUSLY can't wait for next week! Avi Greengart / @greengart : I don't think we're going to see @Apple launch AR wearables yet, but @gregjoz is sure having fun teasing us https://twitter.com/... Tyler Stalman / @stalman : I want this apple design on the back of my next MacBook https://twitter.com/... Mark Gurman / @markgurman : Don't want to be that guy — but Apple has included an AR logo in the announcement for every virtual Apple event since Sept 2020. It means nothing in relation to an Apple AR/VR headset (not coming until end of the year at the earliest) or AR glasses (not coming for 2-4 years). Marc Blank-Settle / @marcsettle : Much as Apple does some great things, this will only encourage some people to think that “peek” is correctly spelled here. 🙄 https://twitter.com/... Hartley Charlton / @hartleycharlton : It's official, the #AppleEvent that doesn't seem like it should be a whole #AppleEvent. Time will tell if Apple does have something really showstopping up its sleeve for “Peek performance” after all... https://twitter.com/... @filipeesposito : Anything is possible, but don't expect to see M2 Macs at next week's event. There are still three Intel-based Macs in the lineup waiting for Apple Silicon. https://twitter.com/... Joe Rossignol / @rsgnl : Peek performance... aka, take a peek at the peak performance of the A15 chip in the new iPhone SE and iPad Air models, along with the M1 Pro/M1 Max chips in at least one new Mac probably. https://twitter.com/... Mark Gurman / @markgurman : Apple confirms March 8 event: Peek performance. https://twitter.com/... @jonporty : Peek (verb): look quickly or furtively not Peak (verb): reach a highest point, either of a specified value or at a specified time https://twitter.com/... David Pierce / @pierce : Apple event next week! My predictions: - A new iPad with a 1.5-inch screen, called the iPad Shuffle - The fastest webcam you've ever seen in your LIFE - A 51-inch iMac - Apple bought Netflix and Tesla and AMC, Apple-branded drive-in movies coming soon https://twitter.com/... Chance Miller / @chancehmiller : The peak vs peek spelling here really threw me off and I apologize for the initial typo https://twitter.com/... Marcin Krzyzanowski / @krzyzanowskim : M1ProMax2S confirmed https://twitter.com/... Marques Brownlee / @mkbhd : Apple event. Match 8th. Apple Silicon. https://twitter.com/... Jon Prosser / @jon_prosser : THE MAD LAD DID IT https://twitter.com/... Ian Sherr / @iansherr : It's happening — Apple event confirmed for March 8, 10am PT https://twitter.com/... Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : really hope that rainbow logo design is hinting at the colorful M2 MacBook Air... https://twitter.com/... Luke Miani / @lukemiani : THEY TRICKED US THEY PLAYED US FOR FOOLS https://twitter.com/...
