The Apple May 7 event is almost here. Titled "Let Loose," it is now expected to introduce the next generation of iPads and accessories for the popular tablet lineup. Apple doesn't generally hold an event in May. WWDC, which is held in June, takes the spotlight every summer. However, the company is already late to launch the more powerful iPads, which were scheduled to hit shelves this March.

Apple announced the upcoming event two weeks prior, giving more time than usual for fans to get hyped up about the products. They usually stick to announcing the events just one week before. Nevertheless, several rumors have already hinted at what to expect. Let's go over them.

Apple's "Let Loose" event is scheduled this May 7 at 7 am PT. This is an unusual timing for an Apple event too. Generally, they begin at 9 AM.

However, targeting 7 AM or 5 AM PT allows the event to be streamed within the waking hours in China, a market the company is now desperate to reacquire. Recently, the company has found itself in a pickle in the largest iPhone market. Sales of the smartphone have plummeted over 24% in the past quarter, per a Reuters report.

Here are the respective times when people around the world can watch the Apple May 7 event:

Tuesday, May 7, 10 am on the East Coast

Tuesday, May 7, 3 pm in the United Kingdom

Tuesday, May 7, 4 pm in Central Europe

Tuesday, May 7, 7.30 pm in India

Tuesday, May 7, 10 pm in China (CST)

Wednesday, May 8, 12 am in Australia (ACT)
