Apple iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3 expected to go directly on sale from March 18 without pre-order option

If a latest report is to be believed, Apple is presently planning to sell its upcoming iPhone and iPad variants in the same week after their launch. The company, as we already reported, is most likely to unveil a 4-inch iPhone, rumored as iPhone 5se, along with a new iPad Air at an event on March 15. Soon after the launch, these products are rumored to hit the sales shelf by March 18. This would be the first time that Apple might directly put the devices for direct sale instead of pre-order.iPhone 5e

The rumors are not very convincing as it is pretty unlikely of Apple to not offer its latest devices for a pre-order. However, it could also be a new strategy planned out by the company to boost sales and attract more buyers. Until now, Apple used to put the latest launched devices on sale after one or two weeks of introduction and pre-ordering. The reports also suggest that the manufacturing process of the iPhone 5se reached the middle point in January itself.

Moreover, Apple is also expected to unveil a variety of new Watchband options such as new colors and rubber Sports band, Hermes bands and a Black Loop band. Talking about the 4-inch iPhone 5se, the smartphone is tipped to come powered by the Apple A8 processor clubbed with 1GB of RAM. In terms of storage, the device might feature 16GB and 64GB options; a 128GB option will not be offered, as it is said to be a mid-range smartphone. There will be other features too, such as support for Apple Pay, which means that Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be a part of the package as well. Moreover, Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) will also be supported, although this feature might not prove to be as useful in India. The iPhone 5se is expected to bear the same outlook as the iPhone 5s from 2013
