Apple Let Loose iPad launch: What to expect
Expectations for the event are significant, with the spotlight on the introduction of OLED displays for the iPad Pro lineup. This upgrade, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, promises improved visuals, including enhanced brightness, contrast, and color accuracy, catering to the needs of creative professionals and media enthusiasts.
In addition to screen enhancements, speculation suggests the new iPad Pro models will feature a slimmer design, potentially reducing the size by 20% for the 12.9-inch model and 15% for the 11-inch model. The adoption of OLED displays may contribute to this sleeker profile, although concerns about battery life persist.
Reports indicate that Apple will introduce its next-generation M4 chip with the iPad Pro lineup, offering substantial performance and efficiency improvements over the current M3 chip. This advancement could further solidify the iPad Pro’s position as a versatile tool for productivity and creativity.
Other anticipated changes include relocating the front-facing camera to the landscape bezel, akin to the base iPad, to enhance the video conferencing experience. Additionally, Apple may unveil a redesigned Magic Keyboard tailored for the new iPad Pro models, featuring an aluminum base for a laptop-like feel, a larger trackpad, and possibly function keys, enhancing productivity.
The event might also mark the debut of the long-awaited third-generation Apple Pencil, rumored to include swappable tips, Find My integration, and additional control options like a “squeeze” gesture, catering to diverse creative needs.
However, consumers should brace for a possible price increase due to significant upgrades, with base prices potentially rising by at least $100. Alongside the iPad Pro, Apple is expected to refresh the iPad Air lineup, possibly introducing a larger 12.9-inch model while maintaining LCD display technology.
Apple may also announce the release date for iPadOS 17.5, teasing potential security enhancements and new games and apps. A more comprehensive OS update, likely iPadOS 18, could be unveiled at Apple’s WWDC event scheduled for the following month.
