Apple's 27 March event will focus on low-cost iPads and education software

Apple is planning to introduce new low-cost iPads and education software at its event on 27 March. 

According to Bloomberg, sources claim that Apple will unveil a new version of its most affordable iPad to appeal to the education market. There will also be new software for the classroom, which will include a new version of the iBooks app that is more in line with the design of the App Store. 

Bloomberg also confirmed reports of a new, cheaper MacBook which will replace the MacBook Air with a price tag of less than US$1,000. However, it is unlikely to be ready for an announcement at the event. DigiTimes reported earlier this month that the new MacBook could be unveiled in June at WWDC 2018.
