Apple ( AAPL ) sent out media invitations on Thursday for a March 21 event where it is widely expected to unveil a new 4-inch iPhone, a third-generation iPad Air and new bands for the Apple Watch. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said he expects the March event to be “largely incremental,” with the bigger announcements, namely the redesigned iPhone 7, slated for an event in September. The spring product launch event will be held at Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. The invite reads “Let us loop you in,” which could be a reference to new Apple Watch bands or to Apple’s street address at 1 Infinite Loop. Much of what’s expected to be announced has been reported. Apple’s new 4-inch iPhone SE will replace the iPhone 5S, which was released in September 2013. The new model will have upgraded internal components similar to the iPhone 6S, released last September. The iPhone SE will sport an A9 chip, NFC technology to enable Apple Pay and a 12-megapixel, rear-facing camera. However, it won’t have a pressure-sensitive screen, which is reserved for its premium models. Apple also is expected to unveil a 9.7-inch iPad Pro tablet at the March event. The current iPad Pro has a 12.9-inch display. The smaller iPad Pro, also referred to as the iPad Air 3, will have the same internal components as its big brother. It will support accessories like the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. Plus, Apple is seen offering new Apple Watch wristbands and perhaps a software update, but no second-generation hardware.
