According to reports on Tuesday, tech giant Apple has announced that it will have an event on May 7. The news heightens the excitement among many people for the redesigned iPad Pro and iPad Air models that will be unveiled next month. The graphic of the event invitation with the Apple Pencil suggests that iPads will be the main attraction at this online meeting.
The Cupertino, California-based business did not disclose any information regarding the event’s details, which were set to begin at 7 a.m. PT (7:30 p.m. IST).
According to a number of media sources, Apple’s overseas suppliers have reportedly dramatically expanded manufacturing of the new iPads, which are expected to be released in early May. With the January 2010 launch of the iPad, Apple last significantly redesigned its lineup in 2018, which is represented by these next models.
The prospective release occurs against the backdrop of diminishing iPad sales, which fell 25% to $7.02 billion during the first quarter. Comparably, sales of Apple’s primary product, the iPhone, have started to decline.
The market for tablets is facing difficulties as consumers reduce their discretionary spending due to economic worries. On the other hand, Apple wants to buck this tendency by releasing cutting-edge goods.
Apple currently provides five different iPad models: the Pro, Air, Mini, and the ninth and tenth editions of the company’s flagship iPad.
These goods made up a meager 5.9% of Apple’s total net sales of $119.58 billion in the first quarter that concluded on December 30, despite the drop in iPad sales.
Apart from the May gathering, fans of Apple may also look forward to the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference, which is slated for June 10–14.
