Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ iPad Event Today: How to Watch Livestream, What to Expect

Apple's first hardware event of the year will be held later today. The digital-only event called “Let Loose” will be streamed live across Apple's official platforms. As always, Apple hasn't given any hints about the categories of hardware that will appear during the event, but we expect the conference to announce new products. The focus of the event could be iPad models and related accessories. The iPad Air is expected to come in two sizes, and the iPad Pro is expected to come with an OLED display and an M4 chip.

The Let Loose Apple event takes place today (May 7) at 7:00 am PT (7:30 pm IST). It will be streamed live via the company's YouTube channel. You can also watch it online through the Apple website and the Apple TV app.

No specific details about the launch event have been released yet, but it is speculated that Apple will focus on the iPad Pro and iPad Air this time around. The former is expected to bring notable updates such as an OLED display, an updated M3 chipset, a revamped rear camera module and a landscape-facing front camera. The new iPad Pro could feature thinner bezels and could come in “glossy and matte screen versions.” It could also offer MagSafe wireless charging support.

The iPad Air is expected to follow a dual-size strategy and have 10.9-inch and larger 12.9-inch screen sizes. It could work with an M2 chip.

Apart from the new tablets, we expect the company to reveal new accessories related to the iPad. The event invite includes illustrations and motion graphics of a hand holding a pencil, suggesting that the presentation may focus on an Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. The Apple Pencil could include a pinch gesture feature while the Magic Keyboard could have an aluminum build and a larger trackpad.

Apple's next scheduled event will be its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024. It starts on June 10, and Apple could introduce new features and updates for its operating systems during the event.
