Apple announces ‘Let Loose’ event for May 7, new iPad models expected
Apple has announced it will host its next a special event on May 7, called “Let Loose.”
Scheduled to be held online, it will commence at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. Anticipated highlights include the unveiling of new iPad hardware and accessories, including the rumored iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard.
Apple’s next-generation iPad Pro is rumored to be powered by the M3 chip, currently found in the iMac, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, with the device slated to feature new OLED displays, offering a better viewing experience over LED on the current-generation models thanks to several advantages in display quality including a larger color range and high contrast levels, better handling of darkness and lighting precision, and fast response times.
Rumors suggest that the 2024 iPad Air will be available in two sizes: 10.9-inches and 12.9-inches.
The device is expected to feature a redesigned rear camera layout, with both the camera and flash housed in a protruding rectangular module, similar to that seen on the iPhone X.
The 2024 iPad Air is expected to feature the M2 chip with Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E.
