Ahead of tomorrow’s “Let Loose” special event, where Apple is expected to launch new iPad hardware and accessories, including the rumored 2024 iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has suggested that the event may only be half an hour long.
Speaking in his weekly Power On newsletter on Sunday, Gurman said Apple’s presentation, which will likely be a pre-recorded showcase as per-previous special events, will “be about 35 minutes” in length, suggesting that the iPhone maker’s first event of the year will be similar to last October’s ‘Spooky Fast’ event, which had a similar 30 minute run-time.
Apple’s next-generation iPad Pro is rumored to be powered by the M4 chip, with the device slated to feature new OLED displays, offering a better viewing experience over LED on the current-generation models thanks to several advantages in display quality including a larger color range and high contrast levels, better handling of darkness and lighting precision, and fast response times.
Initially, rumors pointed to the 2024 iPad Pro lineup potentially reaching a hefty $2,000 price tag, particularly for the largest model. However, a subsequent report refutes these earlier claims, suggesting a more moderate price adjustment. Instead, indications point towards a relatively modest uptick in pricing, hovering around $160 above the current models, which currently commence at $799 and $1099 respectively.
Rumors suggest that the 2024 iPad Air will be available in two sizes: 10.9-inches and 12.9-inches.
The device is expected to feature a redesigned rear camera layout, with both the camera and flash housed in a protruding rectangular module, similar to that seen on the iPhone X.
