If Apple’s strategy so far is anything to go by, the AirPower charging mat will probably be announced on Thursday. This will presumably be followed in Friday by the debut of the AirPods wireless charging case. But if Apple wishes to cut the week short, it could announce both products simultaneously.
Apple's AirPods 2 might still be months away
As you may have noticed, there has been no mention of AirPods 2. Unfortunately, this is because the sources believe Apple’s next-gen wearable won’t launch until September alongside the iPhone 11 series.

The new AirPods should introduce always-on Siri – which will give users the option of activating Siri with the words ‘Hey, Siri’ – and some kind of water resistance. The updated accessory may also feature some health-related features such as a built-in heart rate monitor.
What does Apple have left for its March 25 event?
The main star next week is expected to be Apple’s highly-anticipated news-aggregating subscription service. For a rumored price of $10 per month, consumers will gain access to a range of premium new content provided by a wide range of suppliers
Reportedly, this new service will be available to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users through the existing Apple News app.
Joining Apple’s news subscription should be a new video streaming service. Apple is in the process of developing a slew of original TV shows & movies but will also offer third-party content – the company is said to have reached agreements with Starz, Showtime, and Viacom. Netflix content, however, won’t be supported because the company isn’t interested in cooperating with rivals.
Lastly, Apple might also be developing a ‘Netflix for games.’ Details about this service remain scarce but it should offer access to a wide range of premium iOS apps for a fixed monthly fee. In order to ensure a long list of titles, Apple may begin publishing its own games too.
