This Tuesday, Apple will launch new tablets at the “Let Loose” online event. Considering that the brand chose to hold an event dedicated to this product segment a few weeks before the WWDC developer conference, it is believed that it is preparing something big.
We can expect new models of iPad Pro and iPad Air. According to analyst Mark Gurman, from Bloomberg, these will finally take the steps that many are waiting for to become a real alternative to the MacBook.
M4 processor, new Magic Keyboard and OLED panels
The analyst says that a presentation of around 35 minutes is expected, where the focus will be on how iPad Pros can be an alternative to laptops. These models were previously expected with the M3 processor, but the analyst believes they could debut the M4.
It is also believed that a new Magic Keyboard could be announced for the iPad Pro. This could have a more robust and durable aluminum finish and give users more room to work, with a larger trackpad.
Models with 11 and 12.9 inches are expected in terms of screen size. The new versions of the iPad Pro should also abandon the mini LED panels of previous generations and rely on OLED panels.
This will obviously have a higher cost for the user. In order to try to bring affordable options, iPad Air is also expected in two sizes, with an 11-inch model and a 12.9-inch model being launched. As for the iPad Air, the processor is expected to be the M2.
It is expected that Apple will keep the ninth and tenth generation iPad on sale, as well as the sixth generation iPad mini without any changes. The news should be in the new iPad Air and iPad Pro with 11 and 12.9 inches.
In addition, a new Apple Pencil with haptic feedback is also expected, which should improve the user experience. We will find out all the news on the afternoon of this Tuesday, May 7th.
