Apple has sent out invites for its upcoming special event on May 7. Called “Let Loose”, the event is set to be a virtual one. The event will kick off at 7:00 pm (IST) and will be livestreamed on Apple’s website. At the event, Apple is expected to launch the iPad Air and iPad Pro. Alongside the iPads, Apple is expected to launch a new model in its Pencil line-up, which is quite clear from the graphics on the event invite.
The iPad Pro 2024 model would likely be powered by the M3 chip and support MagSafe wireless charging. However, the biggest change is expected to be in the display department with the 2024 high-end iPad model reported to be the first iPad to sport an OLED display panel. The OLED display would allow the Pro models to feature variable refresh rates, which is likely to reach as low as 10Hz – compared to 24Hz on the current generation models. The iPad Pro would be offered in two different screen sizes – 11-inch and 13-inch – and feature significantly thinner bezels on all sides compared to its predecessor. The 2024 iPad Pro would likely get a redesigned rear camera bump with a rectangular module housing the cameras and the flash. It may even get the front camera in landscape orientation.
