iPhone SE 2, AirPower and New Wireless AirPods Charging Case
There have been quite a few rumours tipping at the launch of the next generation iPhone SE 2. The smartphone has been reported to feature an edge-to-edge display with a notch on top for accommodating the Face ID equipment, same as the iPhone X. There are also rumours that neither the Face ID feature, not a notch will be present on the device as it’s aimed to be Apple’s affordable offering. So, nothing is certain as of now and we will have to wait for the company’s announcements at the event.
Back in September, Apple announced its AirPower wireless charging solution that can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Airpods and the Apple Watch. It is expected to finally be made available for purchase at the event. There are also reports that in addition to the Apple Airpower, there could also be new Wireless AirPods Charging Case, that will allow users to charge their AirPods using the AirPower.
