For a while now people had been waiting for Apple to refresh the iPad lineup, and the wait was justified as well because it had been a while since Apple announced something for our beloved iPads. Apple did announce the ‘Let Loose’ event but remained tight-lipped about everything else. The anticipation was building up so much on the internet and the excitement knew no bounds. The Let Loose event took place last night and ever since then, people have had a lot to say about the Apple event and the announcements made during the said event. Let’s take a look at how the public reacted to the new announcements made by Apple.

The first observation that was made was that the event was pretty short. It lasted for around 35 minutes and netizens did not let that slide. X (formerly Twitter) user @kakziekr said, “Apple has BROKEN TWO RECORDS at the #AppleEvent today. They have shot an ENTIRE Event on an iPhone 15 Pro. They have done the SHORTEST Event EVER. Coming in only 33 minutes.
Even though the event was pretty short, Apple did make some major announcements. Netizens were mind-blown by the thinness of the iPad Pro, one X user said, “The new iPad Pros are Apple’s thinnest devices ever. Bruh.”
The introduction of the M4 chip on the iPad Pro was the key highlight of the event. This makes the iPad Pro quite powerful. However, this wasn’t enough to impress the fans either. One X user said, “My thoughts on the new iPad Pro? Ridiculously impressive hardware with a frustratingly limited OS.” People were also quick to point out that Apple missed out on the Calculator App this time too.
A lot of people were very disappointed that the iPad Mini did not make it to the event. One user said, “iPad mini forgotten again like usual… #AppleEvent.”
And lastly, users did not understand how to process the big Apple Pencil lineup either. A funny tweet by @Creative_Rants read, “Someone please travel back in time and show this lineup to Steve Jobs.”
