Apple to hold April 20 event, with new iPad Pro devices possible
Apple Inc. announced Tuesday that it plans to hold an event April 20. The event will kick off at 10 a.m. PT. Apple didn't specify on its website what the event would cover. At its spring event last year, Apple announced a new iPad and upgraded its MacBook Air. This year's event was the subject of speculation for hours ahead of Apple's official announcement after MacRumors reported that Apple's Siri voice assistant was teasing a previously unannounced April 20 event when users asked it when the next Apple event was. The upcoming event could bring new iPad Pro devices and potentially AirTags Bluetooth trackers, according to MacRumors. Apple shares are up 2.3% in Tuesday trading. They've gained 2.5% over the past three months as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen 8.2%.
