Apple has surprised everyone with news of a new iPad event scheduled for May 7, featuring the anticipated debut of the iPad Pro and iPad Air. Named “Let Loose,” the event is set for 10 AM Eastern Time, a bit earlier than usual. As with past Apple events, it will be live-streamed on the Apple website, Apple TV app, and YouTube.
An image accompanying the announcement hints at a new Apple Pencil, likely to introduce new gestures, though details are scarce.
After minimal changes in 2023, Apple’s iPad lineup is primed for an overhaul. Speculations suggest updates to the iPad Air line, including 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch models. Additionally, an iPad Pro refresh is anticipated, featuring an OLED display instead of mini-LED backlighting. However, the entry-level iPad and iPad mini refreshes are not expected at this event; they’re projected for a Fall 2024 release.
