There be lustrous new iPads on the horizon. Possibly. Maybe. Probably.

Look, it's a likely reveal at Apple's May event, with a haul of gleaming new iProducts set to be announced during the company's online launch. It's a livestream Mashable's editorial team will be glued to, pinging each other in Slack with various exclamatory remarks (Pro! Air!), party parrots, and "I told you sos". We can't help it.

As has become tradition for big tech launches, Apple's event is streaming live, so you can join the tech-fiend chorus with a monocled stare at the company's fresh offerings. (What? I'm allowed a little drama. The theme of the event is "Let Loose" which makes me implode in secondhand cringe but also take direction.)

Enough of me, here's how to tune in.

When is the Apple May event and how can I watch it?

Apple's next product announcement event is happening at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET on May 7.

You can watch the launch on at apple.com or through the Apple TV app. The company even has a handy link for adding it to your calendar.

Meanwhile, be sure to follow Mashable's socials — X, TikTok, Insta, FB, you know the drill — as our team will be posting sweet, sweet updates on the day.

What will Apple announce at its May event?

Mashable tech editor Kimberly Gedeon has a strong idea of what Apple will reveal at the May 7 event, and that's iPads. We're talking new iPad Pro and iPad Air, both of which Gideon's been keeping a sharp eye on — through every plot twist — and the possibilities of a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil (take a look at that event graphic again).

But that's not everything and I've merely skimmed the surface of these likely Apple announcements. Dig into Mashable's guide to everything you can expect at Apple's May 7 event.
