Apple‘s Worldwide Developers Conference is only a few weeks away, but the corporation can’t wait that long to reveal some new news. It has organized a virtual event on May 7. The stream will begin at 10 a.m. ET and will be available on Apple’s website, the Apple TV app, and most likely YouTube.
Apple hasn’t been quite clear about what to anticipate, as is customary. But the animated graphic that was part of the introduction has a hand holding an Apple Pencil in the middle of a bright, stylized version of the Apple logo. That suggests that the event will most likely center around iPad.
Rumors have been swirling for some time that Apple was likely to update the iPad Pro and iPad Air in a couple of sizes in May with M3 and M2 chips, respectively. The company is expected to bring OLED displays to the iPad Pro, while adding a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air to the lineup. Reports suggest a new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and a fresh Apple Pencil may be in the offing too. In any case, it’s been over two years since the last iPad Air and around 18 months since the M2-powered iPad Pros debuted, so both are due for a refresh.
