Apple was rumored to have something great in-store for the public today and the hashtag ‘appleevent’ began trending on Twitter early Tuesday morning with thousands anticipating the big reveal.
Well-known leaker Jon Prosser said Apple was set to announce a new Apple Watch Series 6 and iPad Air Tuesday.
Other clues also revealed the same rumor – some countries had removed the Apple Watch Series 5 from the website or no stock was available for purchase.
However, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg had previously said not to get too excited and the announcement may just be the date of the firm’s traditional iPhone unveiling event.

Gurman suggests all of the products will be showcased at one event, which has been the way of Apple for many years – and it seems the analyst was right.
However, it is not yet confirmed if the iPhone 12 will take center stage on September 15.
September has been the set month for when Apple releases its next-gen iPhone, but the ongoing health crisis of the coronavirus and travel restrictions has created a number of delays for the tech giant.
Other rumors circulating have suggested the firm is set to release four new iPhone 12 models, including a ‘Mini’ iPhone with a 5.4-inch screen.
All four new iPhone 12 models – Pro, Pro Max, standard model and ‘Mini’ – will support 5G, according to LetsGoDigital.
