Apple announcement - March 7
Apple is expected to announce new products at a press event in San Francisco on March 7
-
Apple Inc is betting a 4G-equipped iPad will tempt more U.S. consumers to pay extra to watch high-quality video on the go, and in turn, give Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc a revenue boost.
The newest iPad will be capable of operating on a high-speed 4G "LTE," or Long-Term Evolution network, according to a source familiar with the product. At speeds roughly 10 times faster than current 3G technology, that may go a long way toward banishing the sometimes shaky video quality of older devices.

Last month, Apple responded to criticism over alleged abuses of workers at its suppliers by asking Fair Labor Association (FLA) to conduct special audits of the Chinese factories where Apple’s products are manufactured. The results of the audit are expected this month. This is especially relevant today, as Apple is expected to announce the new iPad.
