JAKARTA - Apple will hold an annual event, as well as launch their latest devices, including the iPhone 9 - the successor to the SE series -.

Reporting from Cnet.com, this launch will take place on March 23 or 31. However, the plan could be postponed due to the impact of the corona virus or COVID-19.

Apart from the iPhone 9, the event will also launch an iPad Pro which is rumored to be adopting a triple camera module similar to the iPhone 11, a new MacBook, bluetooth headphones, AirTags, and an AirPower-like wireless charging mat.

Information about this launch delay is due to Apple closing its factory due to the corona virus. Apple has not confirmed whether the launch of this product will be postponed or not, but the COVID-19 virus is having an impact on the company.

This week Apple issued a press release warning investors that the company will not reach its expected revenue target for the March quarter because of the outbreak.

The company's main suppliers, such as Foxconn in China, have been forced to close their operations amid a health crisis caused by the virus. For some time now, the iPhone manufacturer has continued production, but in small numbers.

Many Apple stores in China have also been temporarily closed, and some have reduced working hours.
