"We're sad to inform our shareholders that Apple is being forced by the European Union to improve iPadOS.. and we hope you're going to hate it!"
If Gurman says 35 minutes , I am thinking two and a half hours.
Apple will be holding its first event of the year this Tuesday, May 7 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, with a live stream to be available on Apple.com and on YouTube.
How long will the event be? In his newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the video will have a runtime of "around 35 minutes."
Apple is expected to announce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, along with updated Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories.
Here are the latest rumors:
The event is taking place just over a month before Apple's annual developers conference WWDC, which runs from June 10 through June 14.
- Two new iPad Pro models with the M4 chip, OLED displays, a thinner enclosure, thinner bezels, a matte screen option, a landscape-oriented front camera, other design changes, and possibly MagSafe wireless charging.
- Two new iPad Air models with the M2 chip and a landscape-oriented front camera, including a first-ever 12.9-inch iPad Air.
- A new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro with an aluminum enclosure, larger trackpad, and other design tweaks.
- A new Apple Pencil with haptic feedback and a "squeeze" gesture for certain actions. Vision Pro support is also possible, but might come with visionOS 2.

if you go back to the October event.
- The M3 chip discussions started at 3:50 and ended at 11:56. that's 8 minutes focused on M3 family.
- The Macbooks started at 11:56 and ended at 25:00. Thats 12 minutes dedicated to hardware. Granted at the 25 minute mark, Apple did spend the next 5 minutes on the iMac.
Could be very interesting to see how Apple structures this event. If we are in fact getting only two iPad announcements, the Air will get 5 minutes of screentime with the vast majority of the event focused on the iPad Pro and the accessories that come with it.

I agree that Tim is about as dry as dust when it comes to excitement but some of the VPs were pretty good. Even Steve often had his VPs do presentations.
Tim Cook: "No new iPads for the EU." or the EU price will go up by 30-50%.
Just to keep track of the price, the current iPad Air = € 789,45 and the current iPad Pro = € 1.069,45 here in the Netherlands. (including tax) We'll see tomorrow what prices the new devices will have.

What we need is that whoever is CEO recognizes his own skills, and relies on people that are masters at whichever skills he doesn't have. Steve Jobs needed a logistics and procurement genious, so he had Tim Cook. If Jobs was running logistics and procurement, it is unlikely that Tim would ever have had the chance to become CEO, because the company would be bankrupt by then.
So, the question is whether there is a product guy that Tim can lean on. That product guy doesn't have to become CEO, but if he doesn't exist in the first place, that discussion is moot. So: Exactly which product guy is it, that people want to replace Tim with? Until a new genious steps up, it will have to be more than one person.
No idea why the m4 is going in iPad first. The software can't take advantage of it anyway
Old Mac Timmy had a farm; AI AI O!
That we know of. While the Main OS may get an overhaul at WWDC that fans have been BEGGING for [50/50 chance], tomorrow could come down to apps and appetizer features.
Ahhh ... maybe you have Phil in your mind.... What a combo Steve and Phil

Apple's classic comedy duo: Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller
Looking back on Apple's keynotes ahead of next week's WWDC conference, I've noticed that several of the most enjoyable moments at the company's keynote presentations have been provided by the light-hearted banter between co-founder Steve Jobs and "his only friend" Phil Schiller. The compilation...

Keynotes were so cleverly thought out a long while back ..... so entertaining Steve in his element.... Phil ...love or hate him ... he had character.... thank god Eddie Cue wasn't involved in this golden era of presentation.
They can put an M3000 in those iPads but they're not going anywhere with that limited OS
For those who are interested in watching it. Those that aren't are not forced to watch, they can just go to the website after its over.... which will conveniently be updated.
The pricing gonna melt your souls. The live thread will be something else. You're gonna read "In THIS economy?!" 10000x.
We are so excited to find out what you do with the new iPad and Magic Keyboard.
We are using it much the same as the first gen… web browsing, youtube…

Ive been a happy user of both… but its amazing that iPad Pro is morphing into surface pro… and I expect it to be closer than ever after tomorrow.
If they make it more Mac like..its inevitable that a Mac OS like front end is going to appear on iPad OS.
Samsung have DeX, Microsoft have the Surface Pro…
Its like Apple are moving glacially to their own version of these.

You forgot, "And we think you're going to love them!"
Can't wait to hear...

- Our customers love us!
- The greatest iPad yet
- It can run the same boring iPadOS apps faster!
- It's made with 100% recycled wet garbage and we passed the cost to you!
