- Artificial intelligence features. While Apple may be teasing new AI capabilities in the next-generation iPad Pro, Apple won't “officially unveil” the features until WWDC in June, where it will preview iPadOS 18.
- Entry-level budget iPad
- The seventh-generation iPad mini. An updated iPad mini is reportedly in development with improved performance thanks to a faster processor, but it won't be announced next week.
- New Macs Although the new iPad Pro&zwnj. ; models may contain the M4 chip, a processor that will later appear in the Mac, Apple has no plans to unveil any new Mac models at the Let's Lose event.
