The calendar of Manzana It has some relevant landmarks. In the remainder of the current year, the most substantial will be WWDC 2024, in June, where announcements about the software of the company and the focus on new artificial intelligence tools. Later, in September, the presentation of the iPhone 16 will arrive. There is a closer treat, with less visibility than those others, although interesting nonetheless. The Cupertino, California company confirmed a meeting for which we will not have to wait long: it will be next Tuesday, May 7. It is expected to show new iPad modelsalthough we could find some surprises.
News at Apple: what will the manufacturer present at the event on May 7?
The title or slogan of the event does not anticipate too much: let losse, which in Spanish we can translate as “let yourself go” or “give free rein.” The one that came to us, in our language, comes with a different invitation: “Seeing is creating,” an obvious play on words with the classic “seeing is believing.”

So, What will Apple present next week? To begin with, in the preview it has been said that the protagonists will be new iPad tablets. According to Mark Gurman, a reporter for Bloomberg and expert in the behind-the-scenes of the bitten apple company, a renewed High-end iPad Pro It will arrive with the 3 nanometer M4 chip. The presence of that processor leads us to more speculation.

Following Phone Arenathe M4 chip would give the 2024 model iPad Pro the ability to handle more artificial intelligence capabilities on the device itself, rather than through the cloud. This would give Tim Cook, CEO of the firm, the opportunity to anticipate the plans being considered in the now very crowded world of AI.
Returning to the iPad line, the presentations would be the following:
- iPad Pro models with 11.1 and 12.9 incheswith OLED screens and improved batteries.
- A iPad Air with LCD screen, also 12.9 incheswhich will be more affordable compared to the Pro variant.
- Other 10.9-inch iPad Air.
Thus, the new iPads will be the stars of the party, but also the perfect excuses to talk about artificial intelligence. It is not trivial, since Apple has been somewhat relegated in this area compared to competitors such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Meta, among others.
Apple: “It will be a different event”
The American company assured that the meeting on May 7 will be “different.” In statements to Washington Posta representative of the technology company said: “Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to anticipate about new artificial intelligence features next week and reveal them at WWDC in June.”

At this point, it is worth remembering that intense firsts linked to AI are expected at developer conferences. One of them is a rumored exclusive store for applications with artificial intelligence. In this framework, it has been said—and we have reviewed in TN Tecno— that those led by Cook have held conversations with both OpenAI and Google to include the charms of ChatGPT or Gemini on the iPhone.
A stylus to draw in the air?
The animation that we include above, as we have said, could be a clue to the announcements that Apple is preparing for May 7. It is true that optical pencils are part of the proposal for the iPad tablet family, although the appearance of that accessory in the invitation makes us think about the possible presentation of a product for Vision Pro, the manufacturer’s mixed reality glasses.

A few weeks ago, a rumor circulated indicating that Apple is working on a stylus for Vision Pro, which would allow “drawing in the air” and controlling apps in the intangible interface of that device. Is it possible that that graphic showing a hand holding a pencil is a clue that confirms the speculation? Anyway, it will be necessary to wait until next Tuesday.
