Apple announces special event on May 7: “Let Loose”

Apple has announced a special event on May 7, teasing the movie “Let Loose.” The event will be online and take place at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. It is expected to focus on new iPad devices and accessories, with rumors of a new iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard.

An Apple event has been confirmed for May 7

It appears that Apple's May 7 event will be entirely virtual, similar to the “Scary fast” event held in October. All of Apple's invitations indicate that people will be able to watch online, and no one received an invitation to an in-person event.

When you refresh the Apple.com home page, you get a different version of the invitation artwork each time:

The main artwork for the “Let Loose” invitation is a clear indication that a new Apple Pencil is on the way, with the Apple Pencil featuring a colorful Apple logo graphic. According to a few different rumors, the new Apple Pencil could feature Find My integration, as well as magnetically interchangeable tips that mimic different writing and drawing tools.

9to5Mac also found several pieces of evidence suggesting that the new Apple Pencil will support a “tap” gesture of some sort.

Meanwhile, we're also expecting a new iPad Pro lineup, where the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models will switch to OLED displays. The new iPad Pro designs will also be much thinner than their predecessors.

The iPad Air lineup will expand to include a new 12.9-inch form factor for the first time, joining the current 10.9-inch size. The 12.9-inch model will also use a mini LED display, according to a surprise last-minute rumour.

Finally, Apple is also updating the Magic Keyboard for the new iPad Pro. According to multiple reports, the new Magic Keyboard “will make the iPad Pro look more like a laptop and include a sturdier aluminum frame.” This will be the first time the Magic Keyboard has been updated since its introduction in 2020.
