&lt;p&gt;Benjamin and Chance react to all the announcements out of the spring ‘Let Loose’ event, including the radically thin new iPad Pro, the new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air lineup, what to expect from the M4 chip, and how the event compared to their expectations going in overall.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/join" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;And in Happy Hour Plus&lt;/a&gt;, Benjamin and Chance reflect on how they feel the video event format is performing for Apple, and whether it makes sense for the company to return to the live keynote style, sometimes.

<description>
&lt;p&gt;Benjamin and Chance get hyped for the just-announced Apple event, entitled ‘Let Loose’ set for May 7, in which we expect Apple to finally update the iPad hardware lineup. There’s also rumors that Apple is preparing to end FineWoven case production, and a weird curio that the iPhone 17 Plus screen may get slightly smaller. Elsewhere, AirPlay for hotels finally arrives and Apple is nearing a deal to exclusively stream the 2025 FIFA Club Word Cup.&lt;/p&gt;

Benjamin and Chance get hyped for the just-announced Apple event,...

Benjamin and Chance get hyped for the just-announced Apple event, entitled ‘Let Loose’ set for May 7, in which we expect Apple to finally update the iPad hardware lineup. There’s also rumors that Apple is preparing to end FineWoven case production, and a weird curio that the iPhone 17 Plus screen may get slightly smaller. Elsewhere, AirPlay for hotels finally arrives and Apple is nearing a deal to exclusively stream the 2025 FIFA Club Word Cup.



And in Happy Hour Plus, Chance’s Mac broke. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.

&lt;p&gt;Benjamin and Chance delve into the latest rounds of iOS 18 rumors, including a curious discovery of a new ‘Safari browser assistant’ in development. Apple has also changed the rules surrounding game emulators in the App Store, with somewhat unclear implications. Apple News+ adds a new Quartile word puzzle, and the wait for the new iPad Pro continues.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/join" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;And in Happy Hour Plus&lt;/a&gt;, Chance considers his smart home strategy ahead of the move to his new house.

Apple News+ adds a new Quartile word puzzle, and the wait for the new iPad Pro continues.
