Apple’s upcoming ‘Let Loose’ event focused on iPads will happen on May 7, 2024.
Unlike Apple’s traditional live launch events, it’s a pre-recorded video presentation—like the ‘Spooky Fast’ MacBook event last year.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the ‘Let Loose’ video runtime will be about 35 minutes long.
That’s a short event.
But it’s not the shortest.
While many might assume 35 minutes is relatively snappy, it’s not the shortest Apple event ever as the title for that goes to Apple’s October 2023 MacBook event, which clocked in at 32 minutes.
Let Loose: What to Expect
So, what might be witnessed in these 35 minutes?
Indeed, there will be the release of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models during the event.
And that’s not all, we can expect new generations of the Magic Keyboard andApple Pencil accessories.
The rumours go so far as to say that the Apple Pencil will get a new squeeze gesture with haptic feedback.
A prototype of the iPad Pro is expected to flaunt the upgrade on Apple’s M4 chip, which would indeed showcase how powerful the company is in on-device AI capabilities, in addition to performance uplifts.
Apple New Pencls and Keyboards
Apart from the Pro models, an updated iPad Air powered by the M2 chip is likely to be seen.
There are also rumours of a larger 12.9-inch display option for the iPad Air.
A redesigned Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro with an aluminium build, bigger trackpad, and other design changes are also expected.
Gurman’s ‘Power On’ newsletter has been a key source of information about the event, stating that the online ‘Let Loose’ stream will go live at 7:30 PM IST on May 7.
