Create an all-day event in Calendar on an iPad and set a reminder alert.
The choices given are "None" or "On day of event (09:00)", "1 day before
(09:00)", "2 days before (09:00)" etc with no option to change the time.

Do the same in Calendar on the Mac and you get the option to override
the time and change it to something earlier.

Clearly Apple feels that an iMac user's day starts at 9am and woe betide
early birds. ;-)

If you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it.
