Apple is organizing a product launch in the early hours of May 7. It will be held over the internet and streamed live via the company’s official YouTube page, Apple TV app, as well as the Apple Events website. The event photo depicted different colours in which the stylus was shown alongside the Apple logo, signifying the artistic nature of their design team’s work. This implies that new iPads might come out soon accompanied by gadgets and accessories by Apple such as an upgraded pencil or stylus and a magic keyboard.
In addition, Apple’s upcoming event is expected to focus on the iPad Pros and the iPad Air. According to reports, for years, leading up until 2018, the iPad Pros have had major improvements made on them. They will come with an OLED screen display, although they are a bit bigger but thinner than the current one. On the other hand, the latest M3 processor will give them a performance boost, making them run faster while the seventh-generation iPad Pro models are said to support the MagSafe charging technology as well.
Furthermore, Apple is set to introduce a 12.9-inch version of the iPad Air. This is due to a CAD-based leaked render that shows the next iPad Air may have a pill-shaped camera island bore on the back resembling that of the iPhone XS. However, it is anticipated that the upcoming models will come with an M2 chip processor.
Moreover, a post by CEO Tim Cook on X hints at the launch of some products on May 7 and it says ‘Pencil us in’. Thus, the company is going to present a new model which would likely be named Apple Pencil 3 although it has not stated anything about these gadgets.
The most recent Apple Pencil iteration can be traced back to 2018 except for the cheaper Pencil with USB-C that was released last October. It is anticipated that the Apple Pencil 3 will have a Find My supporting feature for tracking, in case it is misplaced. The accessory is also said will feature interchangeable magnetic tips and is rumoured to have a ‘squeeze’ gesture while being compatible with the Vision Pro headset.
Aside from the rumoured reveal of a newer iPad and a possible hint of a new Apple Pencil, It is expected that an overdue upgrade will finally arrive for the Apple Magic Keyboard. That is, it is likely to feature a larger trackpad made out of aluminium, however, it will abandon the current floating-like design.
