Apple has announced it will be holding a live-streaming media event on Tuesday, May 7 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern). The event will be available for viewing on Apple.com and on YouTube. The event invitation has a tagline of “Let Loose” along with a rendering of a hand holding an Apple Pencil, indicating that iPads will be a focus of the event.
During the event, we expected to see Apple announce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, as well as with updated Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories.
We’re expecting to see several new and updated features when the new iPad Pros debut, including an M3 chip, a thinner profile, a landscape front camera, a revamped rear camera, and possibly MagSafe charging. A revamped Magic Keyboard and an updated Apple Pencil are expected to debut alongside the new iPad Pro models.
Apple’s new iPad Air models are expected to be powered by Apple’s M2 chip, a landscape front camera, and a first-ever model with a 12.9-inch display.
The iPad Pro and iPad Air were last updated in October 2022 and March 2022, respectively.
