Apple schedules iPad launch event for May 7
It’s been over a year and a half since Apple launched its last iPads and that will finally change come May 7 when we’re getting a new generation of iPads. Apple is holding an online launch event scheduled to start at 7AM PT / 10AM ET where we’ll likely see the new iPad Pro and Air models alongside a new Apple Pencil.
Apple is finally expected to make to switch to OLED displays on the iPad Pro lineup. Rumors point to 13-inch and 11-inch display sizes with repositioned front-facing cameras that will now lie on the horizontal side of the display. We’re also expecting two iPad Airs with 12.9-inch and 10.9-inch Mini LED displays. The new tablets will be powered by the Apple M3 chipsets.
Apple is also expected to launch a new Apple Pencil with squeeze gesture and a redesigned Magic Keyboard with a sturdier aluminum chassis and larger trackpad.
