Apple is set to host its upcoming virtual event, “Let Loose,” on May 7, beginning at 7 a.m. PT. This event will mark a significant focus on the advancement of iPad technology, featuring anticipated updates to iPad Pro and iPad Air models along with accessory enhancements. Rumors suggest that the new iPad Pro might adopt OLED screen technology and both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models could see a design that is substantially thinner than their predecessors. Additionally, a new 12.9-inch iPad Air could potentially incorporate mini-LED display technology.
The spotlight is also expected to shine on the latest iteration of the Apple Pencil, which could introduce features such as “Find My” integration and magnetically interchangeable tips to simulate various writing and drawing instruments. The expected “Squeeze” gesture could add a new dimension to its functionality. Accompanying the hardware upgrades, a refreshed Magic Keyboard is anticipated, designed to enhance the iPad Pro’s utility, possibly mimicking a more traditional laptop experience with a sturdier frame and aluminum construction.
As Apple continues to evolve its product offerings, the forthcoming updates represent incremental advancements primarily focused on iPad enhancements. These upgrades reflect Apple’s ongoing efforts to refine its ecosystem, targeting professional and creative users. The May 7 event is set to highlight these improvements
