The Apple rumor mill has been mostly quiet on the potential for a surprise product making an appearance at the event today, but if prior years are any indication, there’s always a possibility.

At its previous spring events, Apple has introduced a handful of products beyond typical Mac and iPad upgrades.

A few examples: In 2015, it announced the release date for the Apple Watch. And in 2019, it was a media bonanza: The company introduced AppleNews+, AppleCard, and Apple Arcade, along with star-studded cameos to tout new shows for AppleTV+.

Last year’s surprise: In addition to announcing a new iPad Pro, colorful iMacs and a purple iPhone last year, Apple also unveiled AirTags, a Tile-like Bluetooth locator that attaches to and helps you find items such as keys, wallets, laptops or even your car.
