Apple’s much-anticipated ‘Let Loose’ event is scheduled for tomorrow, May 7, 2024. Unlike the Cupertino giant’s traditional launch affairs, this year’s iPad-special unveiling event will take the form of a pre-recorded video, reminiscent of last year’s ‘Spooky Fast’ event which saw the launch of MacBook devices. A recent report circulating the Web sheds light on the forthcoming event, revealing that the video presentation will run for approximately 35 minutes.
This isn’t the first time Apple has conducted a mini event, as this duration mirrors that of the October event where it debuted its latest MacBook lineup.
Mark Gurman’s ‘Power On’ newsletter has been a key source of insight into the event, indicating that the online stream of the ‘Let Loose’ event will commence at 7:30pm IST on May 7. The report underscores expectations for the introduction of the new generation of iPad Air and iPad Pro, both anticipated to feature significant upgrades.
Among the speculated enhancements for the iPad Pro is the integration of OLED displays, promising users a visually immersive experience. Additionally, analysts anticipate the deployment of the cutting-edge M4 chip to bolster the device’s performance, particularly in facilitating on-device artificial intelligence capabilities. While hardware upgrades in CPU and GPU are also forecasted, details regarding AI features across Apple’s product line will remain under wraps until the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) slated for June 10, 2024.
In addition to the iPad Pro lineup, the event is expected to showcase the latest iteration of the iPad Air, potentially powered by the M2 chip. Enthusiasts might also anticipate a larger 12.9-inch display option for the iPad Air, alongside the debut of the new Apple Pencil boasting a haptic feedback feature and the Magic Keyboard.
However, it’s crucial to note that these insights are gleaned from leaks and rumours, necessitating confirmation during the event itself.
For those eager to catch the action live, the ‘Let Loose’ event will be streamed in India on Tuesday, May 7, starting at 7:30 pm. Viewers can tune in via the Apple website, YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app to witness the unveiling of the latest innovations from the tech giant.
