Apple sends out invitations for its March 9 'spring forward' event

Apple on Thursday sent out invitations to members of the media, inviting them to a keynote presentation on Monday, March 9, where it is expected the company will give more details on the upcoming launch of the Apple Watch, and potentially unveil new products.

Apple has said that the Apple Watch will hit store shelves and go onto the wrists of early adopters in April. Apple Watch launch details are expected at the March 9 event, but Apple could also use the event to unveil new Macs and other devices.

The event will be held at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a common venue for major Apple media briefings that are too large for the company's Town Hall theater on its Infinite Loop campus.

Another potential product unveiling could be an "iPad Pro," rumored to feature a 12.2-inch display. However, it's been reported that the device may not launch until the second quarter of 2015.
