Appletraditionally refreshes accessories including iPhone cases and watch bands around this time each year, and a new leak points to some of the colors we can expect to see on newiPhone 12MagSafe-ready cases: light blue, light green, a pale orange and purple.

The sneak preview comes courtesy of a reputable source on Chinese social media site Weibo, and the two-tone color swatches were then reposted by well-known tipsterDuanRuion Twitter for an even wider audience.

While we can’t confirm the veracity of the information for now, if you’re thinking about buying an Apple accessory then you might want to hold off for a week or two – especially if you like the shades on offer here.

These case colors are similar to revamped ones pushed out for theiPhone 11last year, although the purple one is new. Based on previous years, it’s possible that we’ll see newApple Watchstraps using the same colors as well.

Bear in mind that these aren’t completely new products: they’re just updates to the accessories that Apple already sells for its smartphone and smartwatch, and they will of course be compatible with the latest models.

The leak is a reminder that we’re expecting Apple tohold a launch eventof some description in the near future. We originally thought it might behappening in March, but March came and went without any Apple showcase.

There are some strong suggestions from a variety of sources that the event will at last take placeat some point in April, although that’s really as precise as we can be for the time being – stay tuned for future updates.
