Apple announces ‘Spring Loaded’ special event for April 20th

Apple will officially hold its next special event to reveal new products this month. The date was initially leaked by none other than the company’s own virtual assistant, Siri, this week, but Apple confirmed the date and sent out invitations to the digital event hours later. As Siri so rudely spoiled, the long-awaited special event will stream live from Apple Park on Apple.com starting at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET on April 20th, 2021.

Going on the invite alone, Apple seems to be hinting at something related to drawing, which might be a sign that the Apple Pencil will be getting an update next week. We expect the new iPad Pro to be the headliner of the event, so it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for an iPad accessory to be in the spotlight. Apple’s SVP of Marketing, Greg Joswiak, also shared the following video on Twitter moments after the announcement was made:
