Apple fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the release of new iPad models, as the tech giant is expected to unveil them in the first week of May. The virtual Apple event is scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT, and the invite for the event features a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil, hinting at the launch of new iPad models.
Rumors suggest that Apple will be introducing new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. Additionally, new iPad Air models, including a larger 12.9-inch version, are also expected to be revealed. These new releases will be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model was launched in late 2022.
While budget iPads like the entry-level iPad and iPad Mini may not see updates until the fall, the Pro models are said to come equipped with M3 processors and front cameras centered on the landscape edge. It remains to be seen if the new iPads and Pencils will become more integrated with the Apple Vision Pro or if iPads will begin to serve as a replacement for Mac computers.
Interestingly, Apple’s WWDC conference, which focuses on software, is scheduled just a month after the new iPad event. This timing hints at a potential strategic move by Apple to release new pro hardware alongside their software updates, creating a buzz among consumers and industry experts alike.
Stay tuned to Guam News Factor for all the latest updates on the upcoming Apple event and the exciting new iPad releases that are expected to hit the market soon.
