New iPhone launch in March ‘DELAYED’ – and Siri will give you a big clue why

IPHONE fans fear Apple’s next rumoured launch this month may be delayed after spotting some clues.

Many expected the secretive tech giant to start sending out invites to one of its usual unveiling events on Tuesday but it hasn’t materialised.

Now some are wondering whether a special launch will happen at all.

Siri, Apple’s voice-powered assistant, isn’t providing much help either – though the limited response is a bit of a hint in itself.

In previous years, Siri would give different answers if you asked about an upcoming Apple event.

But this time round, it is sticking to one vague response, fuelling speculation a March date is not on the cards.

Ask Siri something like: “What is going to be announced at the Apple event?”

The response will be: “You can’t hurry news. No. You’ll just have to wait.”

Maybe the firm is going for a quieter launch this time round without a glitzy physical live launch.

The March event isn’t usually the biggest in Apple’s calendar anyway, the main kickoff of new tech goodies always happens in the autumn time.

Among the products tipped to appear soon is a new iPhone SE and iPad Air, as well as refreshed Macs.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is speculated as one reason why the iPhone maker might be holding off.

Apple has already stopped all product sales in Russia over the escalating crisis.

The company is known for being top secret about upcoming launches, so we’ll just have to wait until we hear something official.
