New iPad Pro iPad Air details leak Apple event

Apple's Let Loose event on May 7 will unveil four new iPad models, including iPad Pro 2024 with OLED displays and M4 chip.

Apple's highly anticipated Let Loose event on May 7 is just around the corner, and the excitement is palpable as we await the unveiling of Apple's new iPad lineup. According to a recent report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is set to release four new models, and we have all the juicy details you need to know.

The star of the show is expected to be the iPad Pro 2024, available in 11-inch and 12.9-inch sizes with upgraded OLED displays that promise to deliver more vibrant visuals. What's more, these new iPads are rumored to be powered by Apple's latest M4 chip, bringing enhanced AI capabilities and blurring the boundaries between the best MacBooks and iPads. Additionally, Gurman suggests that the new Magic Keyboard will feature a more robust aluminum design with a sleek 'laptop-like aesthetic.'

Although iPadOS 18 won't make its debut until WWDC 2024 in June, there will be new software features optimized for the new hardware. This could include improved multitasking and enhanced functionality for the rumored Apple Pencil 3, which may support haptic feedback and new squeeze gestures.

In addition to the iPad Pro lineup, Apple is also set to launch the largest iPad Air ever, offering both an 11-inch and a 12.9-inch model. While these new iPad Airs are rumored to be powered by the older M2 chip, they are still expected to deliver impressive performance, especially for everyday tasks. It remains to be seen whether the Apple Pencil 3 will be compatible with the new iPad Air models or exclusive to the Pro lineup. Although OLED displays may not be featured on the new iPad Airs, high-quality mini-LED panels could be a possibility.

With Apple's iPad revenue declining in recent quarters, the success of these new iPad models is crucial for the tech giant. The pressure is on for Apple to deliver innovative features and top-notch performance to win back consumers.
