Every Apple follower already know that the tech giant is planning to launch Apple Watch in April, but it appears that spring has a new meaning for them. Something big is being planned and it may come earlier than expected.
According to a reliable source that spoke with MacRumors, “Apple is planning to begin moving Apple Watches to centralized distribution points in the U.S. during the first few days of the month, with an Apple Watch release possibly coming during the first full week of April, between April 6 and April 10.”
The April release may have prompted the Cupertino giant to send out an invitation on 9 March where they are expected to reveal the Apple Watch’s official release date and hopefully spill some more details on it. The invites identified Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco as the venue for the event.
However, as typical for the company, the invite said very little, offering nothing but a colorful graphic and the tagline "Spring forward," referencing the switch to Daylight Saving Time that occurs the day before.
The reference to time strongly suggests that Apple will discuss the Apple Watch at the event and an unnamed "person familiar with the matter" told Bloomberg News that the smartwatch will be the focus. Apple plans to launch its smartwatch in April, CEO Tim Cook said in the company's earnings report earlier this month; the gadget was introduced last fall at the same time as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, but few people have had the chance to get their hands on one.
The last time Apple held an event in March, it was to show off the third iteration of the iPad, and there have been rumors that Apple has been developing a larger iPad aimed at the enterprise market. That March 2012 iPad unveiling didn't last long, however – Apple introduced a new full-sized iPad just more than six months later, in October.
Apple also introduced an updated Apple TV at the March 2012 event, and that offering has not been updated since.
