Apple has surprised just about everyone by announcing that it will hold an event titled “Let Loose” on May 7th to unveil new iPad models. The festivities will begin at 10 am EDT which is 7 am on the West Coast where Apple is headquartered. Just about everyone had expected Apple to forgo hosting an event for the new iPads and figured that the company would simply issue a press release as it has before when announcing new iPad models.

Also expected on May 7th is the introduction of the new iPad Air line which will include a 12.9-inch variant for the first time alongside the traditional 10.9-inch tablet. The iPad Air models will be powered by the 5nm M2 chip and will also include a landscape-oriented front-facing camera.
While Apple will be live streaming the “Let Loose” event via its usual channels, you can simply check in with us at PhoneArena for all of the news and analysis pertaining to the new iPad tablets before, during, and after the event.
Later this year we should see Apple introduce a new iPad mini and a regular entry-level iPad model. We’d expect a press release to introduce those tablets, but as you can see with today’s announcement from Apple, you can never be sure.
