Apple is finally holding an iPad-focused press event on Tuesday, May 7th. The “Let Loose” event is scheduled for 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET and will be available to stream on various platforms, including Apple’s website, the Apple TV app, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube.
Apple is expected to highlight four new products during the upcoming event. The 2024 versions of 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro models are the most significant products set to be unveiled. For the first time, both models are expected to feature OLED, an all-new M4 chipset, and other new features.
Apple is also rumored to be updating its iPad Air range with two new models. The first model is expected to feature a 10.9-inch display, while the second model is rumored to have a 12.9-inch display, which will be a first for the iPad Air lineup. Both models are expected to be powered by an M3 chipset, although it is unclear what display technology will be used.
A new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are also expected to be released next week. Both devices are likely to be compatible with the new tablets. The Magic Keyboard could be made of aluminum, making it more durable than previous models. It may also have a larger trackpad area. The new Apple Pencil is expected to be a successor to the Apple Pencil 2 and offer more features than the Apple Pencil USB-C released last year.
