Apple is gearing up to make some big announcements in an upcoming event on May 7, where new additions to the iPad line are expected to be unveiled. Rumors suggest that a new iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil, and a keyboard case could all be on the agenda.
One of the most anticipated reveals is the new M4 chip, which is surprising considering the M3 chip was only released six months ago. Speculation is rife that Apple may have rushed the M4 launch in response to delayed M3 chip release and potential competition from Microsoft’s upcoming third-party silicon. In fact, rumors are swirling that Microsoft is set to launch its own silicon at the end of May, prompting Apple to make a quick announcement.
The new chip could potentially pave the way for new Macs, despite the short refresh cycle for current models. The iPad Pro is expected to feature an OLED display, while the iPad Air may come in a 12.9-inch size. Additionally, new gestures for the Apple Pencil are likely to be introduced.
AI technology is also expected to feature prominently at the event. For those unable to attend in person, the event can be watched live via a provided link, with updates on the latest news available on TechCrunch.
Excitement is mounting for what Apple has in store for its iPad line, with fans eagerly awaiting the event to see what innovative new features and products will be unveiled. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
