As the highly-anticipated “Let Loose” iPad event from Apple approaches, rumors are swirling within the tech community about what surprises the tech giant may have in store. One of the most talked-about speculations is regarding the next-generation iPad Pro, which may feature the new M4 chip instead of the anticipated M3 chip.
Noted tech analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg speculates that this change in chip could be a signal of Apple’s official entry into the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Gurman believes that Apple will position this new iPad Pro as its first AI-powered device, paving the way for further AI integration at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.
In addition to the potential AI capabilities, Apple has reportedly been in discussions with OpenAI and Google for new AI features that could be integrated into iOS 18. This could mean exciting advancements in AI technology for Apple users in the near future.
Aside from the iPad Pro, updates to the iPad Air and accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are also expected to be announced at the event. Gurman even speculates that the upcoming Apple Pencil could introduce haptic feedback, adding a new dimension to the user experience.
With just over a week left until the “Let Loose” event, excitement is building as Apple fans eagerly await more details about what the tech giant has in store for its lineup of iPads and accessories. Stay tuned to The Puck Drop for the latest updates on Apple’s upcoming announcements.
