What to expect and where to watch Apple's "Let us loop you in" event tonight

Apple's expected to make several announcements tonight at an event that got the tagline "Let us loop you in". Let's get started shall we?

What

So what can you expect from tonight's event?

Well, as it's quite usual now, everything seems to have leaked already. To make it quick, a new iPhone dubbed iPhone SE will be announced and will see the return of the iPhone 5's form factor. Using a 4 inch screen, it's Apple's way of recapturing the market that still aches for a modern phone that still fits in someone's pocket.

On top of that, Apple is poised to announce a new iPad Air after a long period without one. It seems to be taking every aspect of the iPad Pro while staying at its 9.7" format, it will even have its name.

It should thus see a massive increase in power, ram and Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil support. In a really weird move, 9to5Mac says that Apple will launch it in only 32 and 128GB models with the 32GB ending up $100 more than it used to cost.

I'm not sure that's the best way to get combat dwindling sales Apple.

iOS 9.3 is expected to launch really soon too with a release date announced tonight.

Finally, the Apple Watch should see some minor upgrades with new bands.

I wouldn't expect any games-related announcement but who knows?
