Yesterday, Apple sent an invitation to select members of the press inviting them to its campus in Cupertino, CA on March 25, 2019 at 10am Pacific. The invitation says that it is for a "special event" but the invitation also features an animation of a film reel counting down to 1 with the tagline "It's show time." Here are two tweets from Matthew Panzarino showing the invitation:

I think it is pretty obvious that this is the event at which Apple will unveil its new streaming video service. I'm sure that the service will work on the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and other Apple devices. It will be interesting to see what other devices will work with the service, what will be available to watch, the cost, and just about everything else about this new service for Apple. For those of us who did not receive an invitation from Apple, the Apple website states that a live stream of the special event will also be available.
There is a rumor that Apple is also planning to unveil a newspaper and magazine subscription service, and possibly even new Apple hardware too. We'll see.
