Apple is promoting its upcoming "Let loose" event using six artistic logos amid the expectation that a new Apple Pencil is to be announced.

The six different logos cycle through randomly upon refreshing Apple's homepage. In 2018, Apple promoted its "There's more in the making" event that saw the introduction of the radically redesigned iPad Pro and second-generation Apple Pencil using more than 350 one-of-a-kind Apple logos.

The artistic logos likely allude to the illustration and graphic design capabilities of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, both of which are expected to receive a substantial hardware refresh at the event. The main artwork being used to promote the event features the Apple Pencil and Apple CEO Tim Cook today hinted at the importance of the accessory to the event in a new post on X (formerly Twitter):



Two new iPad Air models and a redesigned Magic Keyboard accessory are also expected to be unveiled at the event.

The May 7 Apple event will take place at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time), with a live stream to be available on apple.com and on YouTube. The event invitation did not mention an in-person component, with Apple inviting the media to watch online alongside the general public.

The only reason it doesn't is Apple wants artists to buy a Mac and an iPad.
ipad doesnt have a keyboard, so is far more stable when drawing...Mac, you dont have the accuracy for professional drawing. I lean more towards an ipad with macOS or far better ipadOS with pro apps then mac as an drawing tool

There could be a Mac like a Wacom Cintiq or Microsoft Surface Studio. A standard clamshell MacBook or iMac, I agree - wouldn't work well with pen.

then people will ask let the pencil work with the mac
Pencil for iPad as there is more room and artists have been using on WACOM for quite some time. It would be seen as just a stylus on the phone which goes against all Jobs originally pushes against.
 
I have a maxed out m2 iPad, I think the only thing that could entice me to upgrade is a bigger screen.
I maxed out my M1 and almost feel the same. Guess we will see. Not much I do on the iPad that really pushes the processor, but will most likely be tempted to bring it current.
 
Some of these are nice, but that upper-left one looks more like old AI generated art than anything else, the kind with weird circles and eyes in strange places. 😨
