There’s an Apple event on Monday, so it’s time to run down our list of rumors and hunches so you know what to expect from the company.
Apple’s tagline for the event is “spring forward,” a less-than-subtle reference to the Apple Watch and a reminder that holding a product event the day after Daylight Saving Time begins is cruel. Since this event is likely to be the springboard for an all-new product line, it’s probably going to crowd out most other announcements, which makes this list shorter than it normally is. That said, the timing is right for a handful of other announcements—here’s what we think will share the stage on Monday.
Apple Watch
This is a gimme. The Apple Watch has already been announced, so we know what it looks like and some basic things about how it works. We know it’s scheduled to launch in April, and we have some basic information about what it does. We know it requires an iPhone 5 or better and that it will support Apple Pay even when tethered to older phones. We know the price starts at $349, probably for the aluminum Apple Watch Sport model with a basic band.
