Apple has realized what the iPad's best feature is after 14 years — and its Let Loose event will make it clear

I don’t usually try to read the tea leaves from Apple’s keynote announcements. Yet for its upcoming ‘Let Loose’ event on May 7, a clear focus on Apple Pencil has me thinking.

As well as the Apple Pencil 3, we're also expecting to see the M2-powered iPad Air 6 models, including a 12.9-inch iPad Air, and an M3 iPad Pro. The company has previously held spring events to bring out a new color for its headline iPhones, as well as updates for its best Macs and other products. This year though, the focus seems to be more on the Pencil than the iPad itself.
