Here’s everything we expect to see at the “Let Loose” event.
But after six years, the iPad Pro is about to undergo a major upgrade.
The devices should also adopt OLED display technology, like iPhones.

Plus, OLED panels fix theunwanted blooming effectinherent to mini-LED backlighting that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro uses.
As OLED pixels emit their own light, no backlight is necessary.
A matte display coating reduces light reflections and refractions.

The refresh should bring a new 12.9-inch size, joining the current 10.9-inch model.
Expect a FaceTime camera, too, but don’t keep your fingers crossed for mini-LED displays.
How about an OLED iPad Air?

According to research firmOmdia, the first OLED-equipped iPad Airs could drop around 2028.
Unfortunately, it collects dirt and stains quickly (especially the white model).
Durability is of concern, too.
It should make the next Magic Keyboard hold up much better over time.
(don’t confuse this with thedouble-tap Pencil shortcut).
The material has received a lot of flak for its poor durability.
Apple may have stopped making these, with a final batch arriving at the event.
Apple usually refreshes its iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands with updated colors around this time.
Expect FineWoven in a season of new colors before the material is retired for good.
Apple could unveil a new leather alternative to replace FineWoven alongside new iPhones in September.
New Mid-Cycle iPhone Color
Like clockwork, new iPhones are unveiled in the fall.
The approach works, as it keeps the current iPhone in the news before the next model arrives.
We’ve had purple, green, yellow, and red iPhones, among others.
We believe the tradition will continue and expect a new iPhone color at the event.
The update could enable a Battery Health menu toshow an iPad’s remaining battery capacity and cycle countwithout workarounds.
An annual pilgrimage for developers, WWDC is where Apple unveils what’s next for its platforms.
