Apple has just announced a new event that will take place on May 7. Although nothing has been officially announced yet about the content of that event, we already know that it will mainly serve to announce new iPads.

Apple announced its new Apple Event on social media on Wednesday. That will take place on Tuesday, May 7. "Pencil us in for May 7," CEO Tim Cook wrote with the announcement. That announcement also shows an Apple Pencil.

New iPads

There had previously been very specific rumors that Apple would come out with new iPad in May. This announcement seems to confirm those rumors.

  • Meanwhile, it has been 2022 since a new iPad was released. Since then, its sales have been in decline. Since global sales of iPhones are also slabbing, Apple is hoping for a big boost with these new iPads. Currently, iPads account for about 6 percent of Apple's total sales.

iPad Pro

  • The new iPad Pro will already be the seventh generation, after the most recent model was announced in October 2022.
  • It will be the first model ever to feature an OLED display. The largest model would also be available in 13 inches.
  • In addition, this new iPad will also get a faster chipset thanks to the updated M3 chipset. As Apple's announcement suggests, we should also expect accessories such as Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil here.

iPad Air

  • Meanwhile, the most recent model of the iPad Air, the fifth generation, dates back more than two years.
  • With this sixth generation, an iPad Air would come to market for the first time with a 12.9-inch display. Currently, in fact, it is only 10.9 inches.
