Apple is set to host its first major event of the year, the 'Let Loose' today. The Cupertino behemoth hasn't disclosed anything, but the much-anticipated event is expected to witness new iPads, including iPad Air and Pro models, improvements to the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, and a few new accessories. It is vital to note that the Let Loose event will differ from the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), which is slated for June 10. At Let Loose, the American giant will concentrate completely on the new iPad announcements. On the other hand, WWDC is expected to showcase new software updates for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other devices. Here's all the information you need to know about Apple's Let Loose event in India if you don't want to miss out on any action.
The virtual event is scheduled to begin at 7 am Pacific Time, which is equivalent to 7:30 pm in India. It will be broadcast live on multiple platforms. Interested people can catch all the excitement on Apple.com, YouTube.com, and Apple TV. It's anticipated that the event will last more than 30 minutes, meaning there will be a lot of quick announcements, so be on time to avoid missing any major updates.
OLED screens for the iPad Pro—which, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, will produce sharper images with better brightness, contrast, and color accuracy—are probably going to be unveiled at Apple's Let Loose. Furthermore, it is speculated that the upcoming iPad Pro versions will be slimmer than their predecessors—the 12.9-inch model may shrink 20% in size, while the 11-inch model may shrink 15%. The use of OLED screens may have contributed to this slimmer design.
Rumour has it that the Cupertino giant will introduce its next-generation M4 chip—which ensures to outperform the existing M3 chip in terms of performance and efficiency—alongside the iPad Pro series.
Additionally, Apple is expected to introduce the updated Magic Keyboard designed specifically for the newest iPad Pro devices. This model might have function keys, a larger trackpad, and an aluminum base to give it a laptop-like feel, all of which would increase use and productivity. Further, the third-generation Apple Pencil may make its debut, including capabilities like swappable tips, a connection with Find My Place, and extra control options like a 'squeeze' gesture.
It is anticipated that Apple will also update its iPad Air range, launching a larger 12.9-inch version for the first time in the Air series. This generation will probably continue to use the LCD technology from its predecessors. In addition, the tech company may tease the launch date of iPadOS 17.5 at the Let Loose, hinting to possible security improvements along with new games and apps. For more exact updates, stay tuned.
