The day has finally arrived! Apple's Let Loose event is just a few hours away and we're expecting some major iPad hardware upgrades for the first time in over a year and a half. Like previous launch events, you can watch it live on multiple platforms.

How to watch the iPad launch event

Apple's Let Loose event starts later today at 7am PT / 10am ET. It's expected to only last about 35 minutes, making it one of the shortest events in Apple's history. To watch the live stream, you can go to one of the following platforms:

  • YouTube: The official YouTube live stream is the most accessible way to watch the iPad event, as it is supported on virtually all relevant operating systems and adapts to poor network conditions.
  • Apple.com: The live stream on Apple's Events website tends to be a few seconds ahead of YouTube's, but may not load smoothly on slower networks.
  • Apple TV app: The Apple TV app live stream is similar to Apple.com and is available by default on all Apple devices. As an added bonus, those with a Vision Pro can watch the event through this app and even use the SharePlay feature to enjoy it with their friends.

Once the event has ended, you can watch it again on demand via the same platforms.

What can you expect from Apple's Let Loose event?

We expect Apple's Let Loose event to revolve solely around new iPad models and accessories. These may include:

  • iPad Pro (2024)The 2024 iPad Pro could offer 11.1- and 12.9-inch variants, with OLED panels, thinner bezels, M3 or M4 chip, a $700 price increase, a landscape front camera and MagSafe support.
  • iPad Air6: Meanwhile, the iPad Air 6 could feature 10.9- and 12.9-inch size options, an M2 chip, a landscape front-facing camera, and more.
  • iPad accessories: In addition to the actual iPads, we could also see some new accessories. This includes the Apple Pencil 3/Apple Pencil Pro, with support for haptic feedback, pinch detection and interchangeable tips, along with the updated Magic Keyboard.
