So usually Apple event is at 10 am when in my country it’s 8 pm so I can watch it live. This time it’s in my country 2 am. When I’m sleeping. Apparently Apple doesn’t want us to watch it live. Oh well. At least I will be able to skip all the boring parts.
10am pacific time is 2am in Tokyo. Any time they pick is going to be bad somewhere (except for the US given they are a US company). It is nice that Asia is getting this during the day for once. I agree with other posters that this time could have been picked specifically to be during the day in Japan. We may be seeing more than just new hardware.
