Apple announces "Let Loose" event on May 7, new iPad Air & iPad Pro models expected

The event, dubbed "Let Loose," is set to unveil the latest additions to the iPad lineup, with expectations high for updates to the iPad Pro and iPad Air.

Scheduled for 10 AM Eastern time, the event will be streamed live to the public through the Apple website, the Apple TV app, and YouTube, allowing enthusiasts worldwide to witness the unveiling of Apple's newest innovations.

While details are still scarce, the event teaser suggests a new Apple Pencil, hinting at possible improvements such as support for new gestures.

With no major updates to the iPad lineup in 2023, anticipation has been building for a significant refresh, and rumors point to the debut of two new iPad Air models, featuring sizes of 10.9 inches and 12.9 inches, respectively.

Moreover, speculation suggests that the iPad Pro will receive a significant upgrade, with reports indicating a shift to OLED display technology, replacing the current mini-LED backlighting.

While the entry-level iPad and iPad mini are not anticipated to make an appearance at this event, they are rumored to receive updates later in the year, possibly during the fall of 2024.
