On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/apples-ipad-event-is-finally-happening/id1602394741?i=1000653690839), we discuss the announcement of Apple's upcoming "Let loose" event (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-event-let-loose-may-7/), where the company is widely expected to announce new iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) models and accessories. <div class="center-wrap"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1A8a0CfCEqo?si=d8w7_EMZ_cCvTHuH" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@themacrumorsshow?sub_confirmation=1) for more videos</div> Apple's event invite (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-event-let-loose-may-7/) shows an artistic render of an Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-pencil/), suggesting that iPads will be a focus of the event. Apple CEO Tim Cook (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/tim-cook/) has also alluded to the Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-event-has-six-artistic-logos/) in relation to the event and a series of promotional Apple logos (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/23/apple-event-has-six-artistic-logos/) appear to hint at upcoming illustration capabilities. Apple has not released any new iPads since October 2022, so this event has been a long time coming. Apple is expected to announce new iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) and iPad Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/) models, along with updated ‌Apple Pencil‌ and Magic Keyboard accessories. Here is everything that has been rumored:<ul><li>Two new ‌iPad Pro‌ models with the M3 chip, OLED displays, a thinner enclosure (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/02/20/upcoming-oled-ipad-pro-thinner/), slimmer bezels (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/20/new-ipad-pro-models-thinner-bezels-rumor/), a matte screen option (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/20/new-ipad-pro-to-gain-matte-option/), a landscape-oriented front camera (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/08/ipad-air-ipad-pro-landscape-facetime-camera/), other design changes, and possibly MagSafe wireless charging (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/18/ipad-pro-magsafe-charging/).</li> <li>Two new ‌iPad Air‌ models with the M2 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m2/) chip and a landscape-oriented front camera (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/08/ipad-air-ipad-pro-landscape-facetime-camera/), including a first-ever 12.9-inch display option.</li> <li>A new Magic Keyboard for the ‌iPad Pro‌ with an aluminum top case (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/03/gurman-new-ipad-magic-keyboard-to-feature-aluminum/), larger trackpad, and other "laptop-like" design improvements.</li> <li>A new Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/03/ios-17-5-apple-pencil-4-rumor/), which may have a new "squeeze" gesture for certain actions and eventual support for visionOS (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/25/apple-pencil-visionon-support-in-testing/).</li></ul> Apple's upcoming special event will take place on Tuesday, May 7 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time), with a live stream to be available on Apple.com and on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1J38FlDKxo) as usual. The event invitation does not mention an in-person component, with Apple inviting the media to watch online alongside the general public. It will take place just over a month before Apple's annual developers conference WWDC, which runs from June 10 through June 14 (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/26/apple-announces-wwdc-2024/).
