How to watch Apple’s May 2024 Let Loose iPad event live

We thought Apple had forgotten about this year’s spring event forever, but the company surprised us.

The May event, complete with the slogan ‘Let Loose’, is expected to focus on the next generation of iPads.

Here are all the key details, including how to watch live and everything we expect.

When is the next Apple event?

As confirmed by the tech giant, the next Apple event will take place on May 7, 2024 at 7am PT, which translates to 10am EDT or 3pm BST (UK time).

Like almost every other Apple event, you can watch the action in real time via a special livestream.

How to watch Apple’s Spring 2024 event

While Apple once required the use of Safari or an Apple product to watch its live streams, in recent years it has dropped the barriers, allowing virtually anyone on any device to tune into the events via Apple’s website.

However, it’s easiest to watch Apple’s spring event live via its YouTube channel. The stream is embedded below, so check back here when it starts streaming live.

Alternatively, you can watch the September event via the Apple Event websitebut also via the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac.

What will Apple announce at its Spring 2024 event?

As usual, Apple hasn’t revealed much about what will be announced. However, there have been a number of rumors about how and when the new iPads will be released, with the recent rumors regarding early May.

And indeed, the invite image from the ‘Let Loose’ event shows an artist’s rendering of an Apple Pencil, suggesting that iPads will take center stage at the event.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says we’re getting a new iPad Pro, which could bring a brand new 14-inch model and an M4 chipset, plus possibly two sizes of iPad Air. Also look for a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, although it’s not clear whether either accessory will be compatible with either tablet.

Rumors suggest that the regular iPad and iPad Mini won’t be updated here, but that could happen later this year.

The spring event isn’t the only thing Apple has already confirmed. We also know that the WWDC 2024 keynote will take place on June 10, 2024.
