May’s
already
stacking
up
to
be
an
intense
month
for
big
tech
companies,
and
guess
who’s
starting
us
off
with
a
bang?
Apple
is
planning
something
big
at
its
upcoming
Let
Loose
event
on
May
7.
But
what
could
they
possibly
be
showing
off?
It’s
iPads,
duh.
What
do
you
think
that
hand
spinning
the
Apple
Pencil
signifies?
It
will
be
centered
around
new
iPad
Pros,
iPad
Airs,
and
tablet
accessories.
Perhaps
we’ll
also
see
the
first
glimpse
of
Apple’s
first
AI-focused
product,
even
if
the
new
iPad
has
a
far
more
beautiful
screen.
Apple will stream the event from its official YouTube page as well as its event website. The stream is set to start at 10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT, so sorry to all those West Coast folks. You’ll need to wake up bright and early to catch everything live. But see that hand spinning that pen? You’re probably already catching a hint of what the hell is going on during Apple’s big May event. Just in case you haven’t heard the rumors, it’s all going to be about tablets.
Apple Event - May 7
We’ll be here for all the latest from Apple’s event, but if you’re jonesing for a few more details about what’s in store, check out our page for everything we know about the upcoming OLED iPad. Based on past reports and the company’s usual modus operandi, Apple is likely to get the ball rolling straight away with talk of its new iPad Pros with OLED screens and a larger, better-looking iPad Air. These tablets may also be the first devices to support an M4 chip if Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman proves correct, so Apple would likely spend a chunk of time talking about the AI capabilities of these new CPUs, particularly the speeds of the NPU.
After that, Apple will probably a few more details about the accessories for the new iPad, which will likely include a new Apple Pencil with enhanced haptic feedback and a new Magic Keyboard that sports a sturdier, aluminum frame.
