Apple has surprised everyone with the announcement of an upcoming event titled “Let Loose” on May 7th to unveil new iPad models. The event will kick off at 10 am EDT, 7 am on the West Coast where Apple is headquartered. Many had anticipated Apple to simply issue a press release for the new iPads, making this event a pleasant surprise for tech enthusiasts.

What can we expect from the event?

– Apple is likely to introduce the first two iPads with an OLED display: the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models.
– These new models are expected to be powered by a cutting-edge 3nm M3 chip, promising improved performance and efficiency.
– Rumors suggest that the front-facing camera will be in landscape orientation, enhancing user experience.
– There has been speculation about these tablets supporting MagSafe wireless charging, although this feature remains unconfirmed.
– One significant change expected for the new iPad Pro models is a potential price increase due to the use of OLED technology.

On top of that, Apple is also rumored to unveil:

– A new iPad Air lineup featuring a larger 12.9-inch variant alongside the traditional 10.9-inch model.
– These iPad Air models are said to run on a powerful 5nm M2 chip and include a landscape-oriented front-facing camera for better video calls and selfies.

What about accessories?

Apple is set to announce new iPad accessories during the event. Speculations suggest that these may include:

– A redesigned Apple Pencil with a rumored “squeeze” gesture feature for adding stickers, shapes, signatures, or text to compatible iPads’ display.
– A new Magic Keyboard could also be on the horizon based on recent rumors.

Looking ahead, we can anticipate Apple introducing a new iPad mini and an updated regular iPad later this year. While press releases typically accompany such announcements, today’s event showcases Apple’s unpredictable nature when it comes to product launches.
