Today, May 7th, Apple will hold the first event of the year whose focus, as you surely know, is on new ones iPad. In fact, an update is planned for the models iPad Air And iPad Pro currently on sale, as well as for some tablet accessories.
Let’s try to shed some light and examine in detail what awaits us tomorrow, during the event called Let Loose
iPad Pro
The protagonist of the event will naturally be the flagship model, that is iPad Pro which we already know will mount a screen for the first time OLED; with this technology we will finally have screens with greater definition of colours, blacks, better contrast and greater energy efficiency.
As usual, Apple stated that he will only use “the best OLED panels on the market”equipped with technology ProMotion at 120 Hz, capable of offering long life in terms of battery and system life.
This is certainly a step forward since, as you surely already know, via screens OLED it is possible to control individual pixels individually, for a more realistic and close to reality visual rendering.
The iPad Pro of the new generation will be available in the 11.1″ and 12.9″ version, with both models being thinner and with even smaller bezels; L’iPad 11″ should go from 5.9mm thick to 5.1 while the 12.9″ version will go from the current 6.4mm to 5mm.
At the moment we still don’t know which processors they will mount, however we know that the M series and that they could be the first iPad to assemble the new generation of M4 developed with a focus on AI. Alternatively, the Cupertino company could decide to fit the “old” ones M3 currently used on iMac And MacBook Air. In any case, an important change.
In addition to the further reduced bezels, we expect the front camera of the iPad Pro is placed on the side of the device, so as to assume a vertical position with the tablet in landscape mode. This is a more sensible solution for professional use, especially when paired with a keyboard.
Some rumors also talk about the introduction of support for the technology MagSafe and of a memory that could reach up to 4TB, with an obvious surge in prices; prices that should already be higher due to the new screens. However, it is not yet possible to quantify these increases, which according to some sources will fluctuate between $160 and $700.
iPad Air
Also iPad Air will be renewed and for the first time Apple will divide the proposal into two models; a 10.9″ version will be available, in close continuity with the current model, and a 12.9″ version more similar to its older brother iPad Pro. However, these iPads will have screens LCD instead of the best performing ones OLEDwith a consequent reduction in costs.
No major changes are to be expected from a design point of view, with both models being completely similar to the iPad Air 4with an edge to edge display and very thin frames inserted into an aluminum body.
The chamber block should have a pill shape, similar to the one it has recently been compared to iPhone 16with the front camera which should in turn be repositioned as for the iPad Pro.
A further novelty could be given by the expansion of the color palette proposed for both iPad Air.
Apple Pencil
As expected, the new ones iPad Pro And iPad Air will be accompanied by a new version of Apple Pencil, now in its third version. However, we don’t know if there will be any changes in the design, but the new version of the pen should support the haptic feedback.
The functionality of this haptic feedback is also to be seen, albeit from insights into the source code of iOS 17.5 it would seem that it will be a gesture linked to the force exerted on the pen at the level of the grip of the fingers, which should activate different functions depending on the app.
Some rumors also speak of interchangeable magnetic tips, but it is not clear whether they are true or not. We certainly expect better integration with VisionPro and the introduction of a drawing app that supports visionOS..
Magic Keyboard
Apple she should redo her makeup too Magic Keyboard, replacing the current polyurethane chassis with an aluminum version; the outer shell however should be made of silicone.
At this point the Magic Keyboard it would become very similar to the keyboard present on MacBookwith the addition of a trackpad to top it all off.
Let Loose will take place at 4:00 pm, Italian time, today May 7. Apple will broadcast the event live on your siteon YouTube and it will also be possible to assist via Apple TV.
