Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), sent an invitation to select journalists and posted an image on its website, announcing an event titled "Let Loose" that will take place on Tuesday, May 7 at 17:00 Greek time.
Although the details of the announcements remain unclear, everything indicates that the event will mainly focus on iPad.
Rumors of news iPad Pro and iPad Air
According to information leaked at the end of March, Apple is preparing to launch a series of new iPads. At the center of the event is expected to be two new iPad Pro models, which will be powered by the M3 chip, will have OLED screens, will have a slightly increased size and will bring minor design changes.
Apple will also likely introduce a refreshed 10,9-inch iPad Air with an M2 chip, as well as an all-new 12,9-inch Air, offering iPad fans a more affordable large-screen tablet option compared to the iPad Pro.
Possible accessories and other announcements
In addition to the new iPads, there are rumors of refreshed Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories. The introduction of new MacBook Air or Mac Mini is considered unlikely as Apple recently announced new MacBook Air via press release and there are rumors that the company might skip the M2 and go straight to the M4 for the Mac Mini.
An unusual moment in time
The May event comes just before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, where the company usually focuses on software presentations. The last time Apple didn't release an iPad in a year was 2023, marking an unusual gap for the company.
summarizing
Apple's “Let Loose” event on May 7 has all the makings of an exciting one for iPad enthusiasts.
We expect to see two new iPad Pro models with OLED screens and M3 chips, a refreshed 10,9-inch iPad Air, and perhaps an all-new 12,9-inch iPad Air.
While the presentation of products other than the iPad is considered unlikely, Apple may surprise us.
