Eyes on Apple for AirTags and new iPads at Cupertino event

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is on Tuesday expected to unveil two iPad Pro models at its “Spring Loaded” event that kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET.

The iPhone maker has revealed little about the virtual event held from Cupertino, Calif. but analysts believe a spotlight will shine on the iPad line. Apple is also likely to announce new color versions of the iMac and its long-rumored Bluetooth tracking device called AirTags.

While most surveys indicate the iPad is still the biggest-selling tablet, its market share is being eroded by competitors using Google (NASDAQ: GOOG)’s Android OS.
