Apple usually announces the date of its launch event one week in advance - so the tech giant could confirm later Tuesday.

The April event is expected to showcase new iPads, according to a Bloomberg report on March 17. People with knowledge of the matter told the publication that Apple wanted to add a quicker processor and a better camera onto the new iPad Pros.

The people also told Bloomberg the iPads would look similar to the current 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros, which cost $799 and $999. Apple has not officially announced the cost of the new models.

Reports suggested MacBooks and iPads could be in short supply because of the global chip supply shortage, and Apple has pushed back some component orders to the second half of 2021.
