Apple Confirms April 20 'Spring Loaded' Event Amid Major Product Rumors
Apple officially announces a digital-only "Spring Loaded" event for April 20, where it is expected to unveil new iPad Pro models, updated iMacs, and AirTags. The event takes place virtually due to the ongoing public health crisis.
Apple officially announces its "Spring Loaded" event for Tuesday, April 20 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Following an overnight Siri leak, the company confirms this digital-only presentation takes place at the Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park campus without any in-person media attendance due to the ongoing public health crisis.
Rumors suggest Apple reveals a wide array of new hardware, with a strong focus on iPad refreshes. The lineup potentially includes a high-end 12.9-inch iPad Pro with a mini-LED display and 5G connectivity, an updated 11-inch model, a redesigned iPad mini, and a thinner entry-level iPad. These tablets reportedly feature Thunderbolt ports, enhanced cameras, and a powerful new A14X chip.
Beyond tablets, Apple shows off its long-awaited AirTags tracking accessory and potentially unveils a redesigned iMac with thinner Pro Display XDR-style bezels and an Apple silicon chip. While earlier whispers hinted at AirPods 3 making an appearance, recent reports indicate those earbuds do not arrive until the fall.
