The time has come for Apple to announce a new range of products – with a new iPhone and iPad among the expected reveals.

The tech giant is holding their latest Keynote event on Monday in Cupertino, California, and plenty of rumours are swirling about what could be unveiled.

Here are a few suggestions of what we might see.

1) A new, smaller iPhone

If the rumours are to be believed, Apple are about to release the iPhone SE, which stands for Special Edition.

While the iPhone 6 and 6S models were considerably larger than previous versions, it seems that a new update more similar to the iPhone 4 and 5 is on the way. It will be a cheaper option than the 6S and 6 Plus, but will still include the up-to-date A9 chip.

2) A new iPad Pro

There’s a lot of speculation about the arrival of a new iPad – which is likely to be another iPad Pro, but will be more in the style of the iPad Air 2.

It’s expected to feature a 9.7-inch screen, which is smaller than the most recent Pro model, which was firmly pitched for high-end businesses and creatives as a laptop alternative.

3) A new Apple Watch – or maybe just accessories

It’s a year since the Apple Watch launched, and the consensus seems to have been that while the wearable device was impressive, like the iPhone it would considerably improve with updates.

The arrival of a new Apple Watch model shouldn’t be ruled out – after all, the time between the release of the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G was only a year – but even if a new version doesn’t surface, there should be an announcement of new accessories and apps.

We won’t know for sure until the event takes place on Monday, March 21 at 5pm UK time. The Keynote can be streamed on Apple devices and on Apple’s Safari web browser.
