What to Expect From Apple's iPad 'Let Loose' Launch
We are all caring about the products and the unveiling’s and we’re going to get some. Yeah, that’s right. Tomorrow, Tuesday, 7:00 AM Pacific Time, 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Is there let loose iPad product launch? There’s going to be a few things coming. One is a revamped version of the iPad Pro. This will be the most significant update to the company’s tablet since the current model was launched in 2018. You’re also going to see a new iPad Air. Why is that important? Well, in addition to a spec bump, you’re getting a bigger iPad Air. Something closer to the size of a MacBook Air for the screen, a 12.9 inch display. This will be the first time that Apple’s offering a 12.9 inch iPad at that mid tier price point, right? And at that mid tier product line. So that’s a big deal as Apple looks to make its iPads more like Macs and expand the product line there. And then you’re going to see them rebuild the ecosystem around its iPads. Two key new accessories. There’s going to be a new Magic Keyboard, a higher end version that makes the iPad Pro look more like a laptop all in use, something that’s a bit more durable and convenient. The second thing is a. Pro version of the Apple Pencil so a new, higher end skew of its Apple Pencil stylus. That’s a really popular accessory that artists and creatives and others like to use for drawing. The new version will have some new gestures so you can squeeze on it to have certain commands. Apple’s homepage was updated this morning where you can use an Apple Pencil, a virtual pencil, to erase the logo on Apple’s homepage, which might imply that the pencil’s finally getting an eraser on the back like a like a classic #2 pencil. And the other thing I’ve written that we’ll have is half the feedback, so when you use the Pencil, it’ll vibrate back on your finger. So you know what you’re doing based on tactile feedback. So that’s going to be a pretty nifty update as well. And I think overall for iPad fans, especially those who’ve been waiting many, many, many months, even years for a revamped version iPad Pro, tomorrow’s going to be quite an exciting product launch for them.
