Although the company hasn't confirmed what new products will be announced, rumours have been furiously circulating online.
Respected Apple tipster Mark Gurman claims that Apple is announcing new iPads today, as well as a compatible Apple Pencil.
'Apple has a chance to kick off a new era for the iPad at its “Let Loose” launch event planned for Tuesday,' Gurman says in his latest newsletter.
'The presentation, which is expected to be about 35 minutes, should set the product on a new path.
'New iPads are due to arrive on Tuesday, and Apple should go all-in on making them into true laptop replacements.'
Apple will be announcing new iPad Pro and iPad Air models with OLED screens, he says, which provide better image quality than LCD and MiniLED used in previous iPad models.

OLED – which give a richer array of colours and allow faster screen response times – have been fitted on iPhones since 2017 but not on iPads.
Because OLED panels don't require an illumination device called a backlight, they can be incredibly slim and lightweight, so it's likely these will be the thinnest iPads yet.
Both the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models will be available in two screen sizes – 11 inches and 12.9 inches
What's more, the Pro model will gain a new M4 chip – a component that will power yet-to-be announced artificial intelligence (AI) features, Gurman says.
If he is correct, the two new devices will be the first
