Full Story

Well, color me surprised! Apple’s gone and done it again, folks. They’re throwing a shindig called “Let Loose” on May 7th. Yep, you heard that right. They’re planning to show off some shiny new iPad models. And get this, the party kicks off at 10 am EDT. That’s bright and early at 7 am for the folks on the West Coast, where Apple calls home.

Now, here’s the kicker. Almost everyone and their dog thought Apple would skip the fanfare this time. The word on the street was they’d just drop a press release about the new iPads. You know, business as usual. But nope, Apple’s full of surprises.

So, what’s the big deal with these iPads? We’re talking about the first-ever 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros with OLED displays. Fancy, right? And they’re not stopping there. These babies are powered by a 3nm M3 chip. Plus, the front-facing camera? It’s in landscape now. Talk about a game-changer.

Oh, and there’s been some chatter about MagSafe wireless charging. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves—that’s still up in the air.

Now, brace yourselves. With all these upgrades, especially the OLED screen, we might see the price tags go up. A lot.

But wait, there’s more! May 7th isn’t just about the iPad Pros. Apple’s also planning to introduce a new iPad Air line. For the first time, we’re seeing a 12.9-inch model alongside the usual 10.9-inch tablet. These are rocking a 5nm M2 chip and, yep, that landscape-oriented front-facing camera too.

And because Apple loves to accessorize, they’re announcing new iPad goodies on May 7th. Rumor has it, there’s a new Apple Pencil in the mix. This one’s got a “squeeze” gesture for adding all sorts of flair to your iPad content. Plus, whispers of a new Magic Keyboard are floating around.

Don’t worry about FOMO. Apple’s streaming the “Let Loose” event, but you can also hang with us at PhoneArena. We’ve got all the news and analysis you need, before, during, and after the event.

Later in the year, keep your eyes peeled for a new iPad mini and a regular entry-level iPad model. Typically, we’d expect just a press release for these. But today’s Apple? They’re full of surprises. So, who knows?
