Mark your calendars for May 7th as Apple prepares for a virtual “Let Loose” event, sending invites to media outlets on Tuesday.
The event, expected to be pre-recorded and livestreamed on Apple’s website at 3:00 pm WAT (7:00 am PT, 10:00 am Eastern Time), projects great new product reveals, with a heavy focus on iPads.
This event brings the end of a prolonged wait for new iPad models, the longest since Apple’s initial move into the tablet market.
Rumors around the tech world point towards upgrades for the iPad Pro, potentially including its most successful revisions since the 2021 M1 chip integration.
Anticipation is high for several potential upgrades to the iPad Pro. Firstly, an OLED display could replace the current LCD screen, potentially accompanied by a slight bump in size to 13 inches for the larger model.
Secondly, the M1 chip that currently powers the iPad Pro might be dethroned by the all-new M3 chipset, promising a boost in performance.
Finally, the long-awaited repositioning of the front-facing camera to a more natural horizontal orientation could finally become a reality, eliminating awkward video calls and selfies.
While the iPad Pro is the most expected, reports also suggest the unveiling of a new Apple Pencil alongside a redesigned Magic Keyboard.
The Magic Keyboard may come with an aluminum build and a more spacious trackpad for enhanced user experience.
Apple occasionally throws in surprises during these spring events, and new color options for iPhones, Apple Watches, and accessories remain a possibility.
Millions worldwide tune in to witness Apple’s launch events live, and this Apple “Let Loose” Event would be no different.
While the focus of this specific event leans towards iPads, Apple is also expected to make announcements regarding Artificial Intelligence advancements later this year, possibly at its WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) conference scheduled for June.
