We’ve been expecting new iPads for a while. Apple announced its next event in two weeks, so we can stop speculating and enjoy the show. The release date for the 2024 iPad Pro, iPad Air, and alleged Apple Pencil 3 has been a popular topic for discussion. Earlier reports said it could be a March or April launch. However, both months passed without an announcement. Today, Apple has put all the speculations to rest. The event is finally here—Apple officially announced its next “Let Loose” event. It will be a virtual event on May 7, 2024, at 7 am PT / 10 am ET. Apple is ready with its latest tablets and accessories Image: KnowTechie So, what are we expecting at the event? The most obvious answer is the new M3-powered iPad Pro models. Apple launched the M2-powered iPad Pro in 2022. After skipping 2023 entirely, it is time for a refresh. The new iPad Pro models will be available in two sizes: 11-inch and 12.9-inch. However, the Pro iPads are expected to have crisper and brighter OLED panels this time. The 11-inch iPad Pro currently costs $899, and the bigger version is $999. With OLED screens costing around the same to manufacture as Mini-LED, it’s not clear if there will be a change in price with the new models.

Apple is rumored to introduce a new 12.9-inch iPad Air 6 to the lineup,…Apple announces “Let Loose” event for May 7
