Apple has canceled the presentation of the new iPhone SE 2 smartphone, also known as the iPhone 9, as well as the iPad Pro tablet.
The event scheduled for the current month had to be canceled for two reasons. Firstly, because of the outbreak of the coronavirus-caused disease COVID-19, the corporation had problems with the supply of components for smartphones. Secondly, the authorities of the California district of Santa Clara, where Apple’s headquarters is located and was due to make a presentation, have banned the organization of public events.
At the presentation of the iPhone SE 2 and iPad Pro, at least a thousand people were expected to attend. As a result of the cancellation, the corporation can arrange an online broadcast of the premiere, or simply publish a press release with information about new devices.
Due to the current ban, the summer presentation and annual Apple WWDC 2020 conference may also be canceled. WWDC is one of the world's largest events for developers, which steadily gathers up to six thousand guests.
