On Tuesday, May 7, Apple will hold another one of its new product unveiling events. It’s already branded it a “Let Loose” event, and one of the company logos changed to promote it shows what looks like a dark pencil taking place.
So when and how can we watch Apple’s “Let Loose” event, and what can we expect to be revealed? Here’s what we know, and what’s rumored about what we’ll see later this week.
When can I watch the Apple event?
It will begin streaming on Tuesday, May 7, starting at 10 a.m. ET (7 a.m. Pacific). This is an unusually early period for the American audience to watch such an Apple event. However, the independent It is reported that the streaming event will be accompanied by a live event in London. This is likely the biggest reason for the earlier start time.
How can I watch the event?
The easiest way for most people to watch an Apple event is to watch it on The company’s YouTube channel. It will also be broadcast on Apple.com website and in the Apple TV app.
What can we expect to see during the Apple Let Loose event?
Apple is rumored to be making some big new iPad reveals during the event. The iPad Pro tablet, which hasn’t had a new version since October 2022, may finally get a new model next week, in 11-inch and 14-inch versions. Rumors claim that these will be the first iPad Pro tablets with the more advanced OLED display.
Recent unconfirmed reports claim that the iPad Pro will also be the first to get Apple’s new M4 processor. Since Apple introduced the M3 processor with its latest MacBook Pro computers in October 2023, it will be a very quick launch of a new chip in this series.
Apple is also rumored to launch a new iPad Air tablet on Tuesday, which will reportedly be a minor hardware refresh for this product, which is rumored to be sold in 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch variants. Apple will also reportedly launch new versions of its Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories as part of the event.
What else can you expect during the event?
Some reports say that if the iPad Pro does contain the new M4 chip, Apple will promote it as an artificial intelligence chip. We may get some hints about Apple’s plans to introduce AI features in iOS 18 on Tuesday ahead of its WWDC event on June 10.
