Apple currently provides the iPhone SE, which it had announced at the spring event of 2020, and sells it for $ 399.
The next tablet at the event is expected to be an updated version of the iPad Air, according to Bloomberg News. The last version of this device came in October 2020, and it is sold for $ 599.
