Came the day. As already announced, today is ‘Let Loose’, which is how Apple has titled its new event. This is a new special event that will be focused on presenting new iPads after an entire 2023 in which the company did not announce a single new tablet, something unusual as it has never happened since they presented the first model in 2010.
How could it be otherwise, in Applesfera we will have special coverage for this event. In this post we tell you absolutely everything about it: what time it is depending on your territory, how long it will last, how you can follow it live and what we hope Apple will present.
What time is the Apple event
The day is now clear: today, May 7, 2024. The duration will be about 30-35 minutes, something that already happened in the last event, the ‘Scary Fast’.

As we told you, it is interesting to see it live, but if you can’t or prefer to find out everything via text, in Applesfera you can instantly read all the news that is announced in real time in a dedicated post that we will have on the cover, as well as we will have individual articles dedicated to the products, accessories and other news that Apple announces.
Which iPad will Apple present at its new event
There is no surprise in knowing that it will be an event dedicated to iPads and in line with this, as we already announced this week, there will be four iPads divided into two ranges. Two that are also the highest that Apple has:
- iPad Air (6th gen.): for the first time there will be two sizes of iPad Air with 10.9 and 12.9-inch screens with IPS technology and M2 chip as the main new features.
- iPad Pro (2024): the big news is that we will see OLED panels in the two usual sizes, 11 and 12.9 inches. A refinement in its design is also expected, as well as the incorporation of an M3 chip or even a hitherto unreleased M4, which has been widely rumored in recent days.
What accessories will Apple announce at the event
What would an iPad be without its accessories? A great device, but less versatile, it is clear. And that is why today we will also attend the renewal of the Apple Pencil with an Apple Pencil 3 that, if the predictions are true, will bring interesting innovations such as new magnetic and interchangeable tips to obtain new tracings, haptic vibrations and new gestures.
On the other hand, we will see a new Magic Keyboard with trackpad. It is still a bit mysterious at this point and, despite rumors of a new design, everything really indicates that it will be reinforced with better materials. Likewise, we may see previously complex developments at a technological level, such as its USB-C connector serving not only to recharge the iPad, but also to transfer data.
What surprises does Apple have in store for the event?
Surprises can never be ruled out at an Apple event. Not perhaps to the point of imagining that they announce the iPhone 16 and not even the iPhone SE 4. For not presenting themselves, not even the iPad mini 2024 and iPad 11 will be presented. However, there could be a important announcement with Vision Pro and its arrival in new countries beyond the United States.
Likewise, Apple could serve a appetizer of its new artificial intelligence. We know that the highlight will be on June 10 at WWDC 2024, but it is not ruled out that they will announce something about the new iPads and their capabilities in this area.
