As usual, Apple has been vague about what to expect. However, they shared animated graphic a hand holding an Apple Pencil in the center of a stylized, colorful Apple logo on they twitter. That means that the event will most likely be focused on the iPad launch.
Now rumors have circulated that Apple would refresh the iPad Pro and iPad Air in a few sizes with M3 and M2 CPUs, respectively. The iPad Pro is rumored to get OLED panels, and the lineup will also include a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air.
According to reports, a new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and an updated Apple Pencil are both on the way. In any event, it’s been over two years since the latest iPad Air and about 18 months since the M2-powered iPad Pros arrived, so both are overdue for an update.
