These new Apple Watch updates come as the US technology firm readies itself for another big launch.

on March 27 and this could be a perfect time to announce the latest lineup which could include new iPads.

The invite which reads “Let’s take a field trip”, includes an image of the famous Apple logo which appears to have been hand drawn using the Apple Pencil stylus.

The invitation contains no other details except that it will take place at a tech college in the city.

Apple has been pushing the concept of getting more schools to use iPads and some are speculating that the event will be used to reveal a budget version of the popular device aimed at students.

This low cost tablet could hit stores with a price of around £250 and, if true, this would make it one of the cheapest iPads to date.
