The event is planned to take place online, where new iPad hardware and accessories are expected to be unveiled, including the rumored OLED version of the iPad Pro, iPad Air, Apple Pencil, and Magic Keyboard.
Rumors suggest that this launch event will be held a few hours earlier than previous events (which typically took place at 2 a.m. Beijing time) and will have a corresponding event in London.
The Independent reports that Apple will host the event globally through a live stream, while also holding an event in London, which may explain why this event is happening so early.
Pulsestacks noticed that Apple has added a countdown to this event on its official website, which is quite intriguing.
In fact, Apple held an unusual Mac event as early as last October, which lasted only 30 minutes. It was also Apple's first keynote video entirely shot on an iPhone. It's possible that the event on May 7th could also be shot, edited, or live-streamed using an iPad.
