There has been a lot of chatter on the internet regarding a new offering from Apple. I am talking about the upcoming iPad announcements. The word on the street suggests that Apple is planning out one of its biggest hardware upgrades with the iPads. For the past eighteen months, there has been no significant upgrade to the hardware on the iPads. Mark Gurman said in Bloomberg’s “Power On” newsletter that Apple could launch the new iPad Pro and iPad Air during the May 6 week.
Well there is no official confirmation from the company yet, but the word on the street is that Apple could launch the new 11-inch and 13-inch OLED iPad Pro models, a bigger 12.9-inch iPad Air, along with an upgraded Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

Speaking of the iPad Pros first, we might get to see improved displays, with the LED panels being replaced with OLED panels for deeper contrast and brightness. We might even get to see a thinner chassis. Rumours also suggest that Apple can move the selfie shooter to the landscape edge. The prices will see a rise too.
The new 12.9-inch iPad Air is also said to see an upgrade from its current M1 chip. We are not sure if it will get the M2 chipset or the M3 one yet. This will be comparatively cheaper compared to the iPad Pros.

Lastly, the new Apple Pencil can offer a squeeze gesture feature and the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro can have an aluminum base and larger trackpad, giving the illusion of a laptop.
Well, for now, let’s take all this information with a pinch of salt and wait for an official confirmation from Apple.
