Apple Event Live Blog: New iPad Pro, iPad Air, and More

[MacRumors]

Apple's "Let Loose" event kicks off today at the unusual time of 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and we're expecting to see an iPad-focused event with new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, updated Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories, and perhaps some other announcements.

Apple is providing a live video stream on its website, on YouTube, and in the company's TV app across various platforms. We will also be updating this article with live blog coverage and issuing Twitter updates through our @MacRumorsLive account as the event unfolds. Highlights from the event and separate news stories regarding today's announcements will go out through our @MacRumors account.

Apple's online store was taken down approximately 30 minutes ahead of the event.

Wow! You have recreated an hypothetical iPad Magic Keyboard using a MacBook as a reference! Or maybe you got an early leak, minutes before the event.

Sadly, this time I won’t be able to watch it in real time, but I’ll catch up an hour or two later. Until then, I’ll be holding off from reading the site, to avoid distractions and spoilers.

Happy Let Loose event to everyone!!!

The black Pencil concept caught my eye more.

Apple events are so hype

 

[trefferton]

iPad 9 showing as a bit constrained in Australia - wondering if it’s finally biting the dust?

 

[thadoggfather]

I hope Tim births an iPad mini 7th generation on stage, complete with OLED and no jelly scroll, and competitively priced (ie $100 less than mini6)

I'm so excited to get a new iPad for it to stay in a drawer for months and collect dust.

If they give it macOS though... much different.

Like Macworld wrote, Apple could just send an email about their new products than sending this pre recorded “perfect and politically correct” videos. Damn I miss Steve Jobs era!!

 

[mac38728]

Most excited to see the accessories. We’ve know alot about the iPads and not much about the Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil.

Yeah I really want a surprise new mini, its what I'm holding out for.

 

[vegetassj4]

Now I want some salt water taffy looking at this

 

[lordDavidson]

I wonder if this will kill off all lightening accessories ?

Now that would be something! 😳
Yikes.

 

[tomtad]

This has thrown me. Thought it was going to be 6pm today (UK time) as usual, nice surprise it's starting now!

 

[entropi]

[vertsix]

I don't know why I'm psyched about this event. lol

The marketing must be working on your brain.

 

[shadowboi]

At first thought I won’t be watching but got some free time and so yeah, waiting. Interested if it would be better than usual (hope never dies!😃)

The biggest day for iPad ever...we're gonna love it

 

[arkitect]

Biggest day since the iPad's original introduction?

That's setting the expectation bar quite high…
