How to see the first Apple conference of 2024?

You'll have to set aside your afternoon to discover what's new from Apple. At least we won't miss the crucial match between PSG and Borussia Dortmund, in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League.

  • When ? From 4 p.m., Tuesday May 7, 2024;
  • Or ? Here on the Apple website Or on the company's YouTube account ;
  • What ? A presentation of the new iPads, among others (M4 chips, launch of the Vision Pro elsewhere than in the United States).

The new iPads will be announced on May 7

The logo of this new keynote, which shows an Apple Pencil, leaves no room for doubt: the iPad range will be extensively refreshed in the coming days. We are talking about two major new features: the arrival of OLED display technology for iPad Pros, and the integration of a larger size for iPad Air. Rumors also mention a new Apple Pencil, among other accessories.

The other big announcement would be to look at the processor that the iPad OLED could carry. It would be an Apple M4 chip, which would therefore succeed the M3 chip introduced last October. This extremely rapid transition to a new generation would be justified by the desire to really launch into the AI ​​segment, in which Apple is still lagging behind.

Finally, we could have news of the Vision Pro. For the moment, Apple's headset, defined as a space computer, has only been launched in the United States. The Cupertino company has yet to communicate its plans for marketing it in other markets.
