Apple recently sent out invites to the next Apple event for March 4, which should include the iPhone 17e. However, Nothing has taken the chance to steal the limelight from Apple with a cheeky announcement of its own.

Usually, Apple reveals a stylized invitation poster that informs the press of when and where the event will take place, in this case, New York on March 4. Yet shortly after the release, Nothing CEO Carl Pei reposted the invitation, but included pink spray paint that showed a very different message.

Aside from looking very punk, the image informs Nothing fans that they should expect some news on March 5. While there isn’t any information on what devices will be announced, it’s likely going to be the rumored Nothing Phone 4a and Nothing Phone 4a Pro. This is due to the date, which matches the Nothing Phone 3a release date, and Nothing revealed that there will be no Nothing Phone 4 this year in a YouTube video.

There have been plenty of rumors around the next generation of Nothing phones, including the apparent Geekbench score for the Nothing Phone 4a posted by Abhishek Yadav on X. According to the information in the post, the Nothing Phone 4a could launch with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip as well as Android 16. The poster also noted that the phone was spotted with the Adreno 810 GPU.

Other leaks, reported on by GSMArena, indicate that the Nothing Phone 4a Pro could feature a 256GB storage option, with up to 12GB of RAM. However, there could be a 128GB option that only runs with 8GB of RAM. The leaks also revealed that the Nothing Phone 4a could offer the same options, both of which are similar to what was offered with the Nothing Phone 3a.

Carl Pei has also made some hints towards the new device, stating that the Nothing Phone 4a series will “take things close to a flagship experience.” This includes a complete overhaul of the phone, from the screens to the cameras, although the actual specs are still under wraps.

Whatever the plan is, it looks like we don’t have long to wait for the next generation of Nothing phones. So let us know in the comments if you’re looking forward to Nothing in March.
