According to Andrew Griffin of The Independent, Apple’s forthcoming “Let Loose” event will have a parallel event taking place in London.
The report doesn’t delve into specifics regarding the London event, but it could simply involve a briefing for UK journalists to get hands-on experience with the upcoming iPads and other anticipated Apple products set to be unveiled next month. Apple has a history of arranging hands-on briefings for the media in cities like New York City and Toronto, as seen with the recent MacBook Air models.
Scheduled for Tuesday, May 7th at 7 a.m. PT (3 p.m. local time in London), Apple’s “Let Loose” event is expected to introduce new devices and accessories, including two iPad Pro models, two iPad Air models, an updated Apple Pencil, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPads, with the possibility of surprises. The event will be livestreamed on Apple.com and YouTube.
Renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that Apple might roll out its Vision Pro headset in more countries prior to the WWDC developers conference starting on June 10th. Could the London event offer UK journalists hands-on time with the Vision Pro as well? It could align with Apple’s strategy of introducing the Vision Pro globally before unveiling visionOS 2 at WWDC, especially since the UK is among the nine countries slated for the headset’s release.
However, this speculation is purely anticipatory fun, based on a single sentence in a British newspaper. The actual details of Apple’s plans remain to be revealed.
