In short
On May 7, Apple will hold an event where it will present the new iPads, a new Apple Pencil model and an aluminum Magic Keyboard 👀
Let's go deeper
Apple announced that a special streaming event will be held on Tuesday, May 7 at 16:00 p.m.
The invitation to the event has the slogan 'Let Loose, 'in Italian, 'Free your imagination', and shows an artistic illustration of an Apple Pencil, suggesting that iPads will be at the center of the event.
FINALLY.
Apple will definitely announce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, along with updated accessories such as Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard.
My 2 cents:
Considering the arrival of games in the App Store like Death Stranding, I hope they will also announce a Nintendo Switch Joycon mo-pluggable controller on the sides of the iPads.
How to watch the event?
The event will be available to everyone, as usual, in live streaming on Apple site or on the Youtube channel at this link.
Rumors about the new iPads
Here is a roundup of rumors and leaks about the new iPads:
- Two new iPad Pro models with the M3 chip, OLED display, thinner body and bezels, a matte screen option (for artists?) , a horizontally oriented front camera like the basic 2022 iPads, other design changes, and possibly MagSafe wireless charging.
- Two new iPad Air models with the M2 chip and a horizontally oriented front camera, including a 12.9-inch iPad Air with mini-LED display, an absolute novelty.
- Una new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro with an aluminum enclosure, a larger trackpad, and other design changes.
- Una New Apple Pencil, which could have a new 'squeeze' gesture for certain actions and support VisionOS in the future.
Let's expect a big event.
Apple has been releasing new iPad models since early 2022, this event is highly anticipated and I hope it doesn't disappoint expectations.
Like every year we iPad lovers hope for some update that will bring them a bit closer to the Mac, for a perfect hybrid but as we all know the real Achilles' heel is iPadOS.
