Unexpectedly, Apple suddenly officially announced the first new product launch conference of the year last night.
Apple said it will hold a new product launch event with the theme of "Let's Fly" at 10 p.m. Beijing time on May 7.
The logo was presented in a colorful style, with Apple Pencil design elements evident in it.

When you open Apple's official website multiple times, the logo will also change randomly, with a total of 6 styles.
The green line-style logo may refer to environmental protection, while the light blue bubble at the bottom looks very similar to the default wallpaper on the 5th generation iPad Air.

Since no one has received an on-site invitation, it is likely that the conference will be held online.
The good news is that those who want to watch the live broadcast of the press conference finally don't have to stay up late this time.
You can go to Apple's official website on your iPhone and add the event schedule to your calendar so you don't miss out.
Of course, those who don't have time to watch the live broadcast can also wait for the summary of the content that Xiaoguo will bring later.
So far, the revelations about Apple's new products in May have been basically very detailed, and they will basically focus on new iPads and other accessory products.
Next, Xiaoguo will take you to review and sort it out.
The new iPad
According to multiple sources, the new iPad Pro and iPad Air will be the highlight of this year's Apple conference.
Among them, the new iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the M3 chip and feature a more powerful OLED display.
Thanks to the new process, the new iPad Pro is also expected to see a significant reduction in body thickness.
And for the new iPad Air, in addition to the M2 chip, Apple may also launch a large 12.9-inch version for the first time, which is expected to be equipped with a mini-LED screen.
According to Mark Gurman, some Apple stores have gradually reduced the inventory of iPad Air in preparation for the release of the new iPad.

新款 Apple Pencil & Beats Solo4
In addition to the new iPad, accessories including Apple Pencil are also expected to be updated.
The existence of the new Apple Pencil has been confirmed several times during previous digging into the internal code of iOS 17.
The new Apple Pencil is expected to introduce a new "squeeze" gesture and feature a number of interchangeable magnetic pen tips.
Even Apple CEO Tim Cook added a pencil emoji to his latest tweet on the X platform, which is basically explicit.

Finally, the long-rumored Beats Solo4 headphones are also expected to be launched around the event.
Judging from the leaks, the Beats Solo4 is not much different from the previous generation in terms of exterior design, mainly for the improvement of connection efficiency and battery life.
In addition to the preview of new hardware products, Apple has also brought new moves in software updates recently.
Early this morning, Apple released the third beta update for iOS 17.5, a week after the last beta.
iOS 17.5 Beta 3 has version number 21F5063f.
Those who have already updated the beta version of iOS 17 can now upgrade to the latest beta system.
If you want to try iOS 17, you can enter the official account of the Fruit Fan Club, click "Send Message" at the bottom of the right side, and reply to the keyword "iOS 17" to get the early trial tutorial.
According to Apple's official change log, as well as Xiaoguo's actual experience, iOS 17.5 Beta 3 does not bring obvious feature updates, mainly to fix bugs.
Combined with the current update cycle, Apple is likely to release the official version of iOS / iPadOS 17.5 after the new product launch event.
This year's first Apple new product launch conference is coming, let's look forward to it.
