Apple to live stream March 9th Apple Watch event

Cody Lee ∙ Updated May 17, 2018

Apple updated its website this morning to announce that it will be providing a live video stream of its upcoming March 9th event. On a new Live page at Apple.com, the company has posted the 'Spring Forward' image it's been sending out to media outlets, inviting users to join it at 10 am PDT that day for a "special event."

We are expecting Apple to use the stage time to reveal further details about its Apple Watch, which is slated to start shipping April. Despite a huge unveiling last fall, the company has been relatively mum about upper tier pricing, battery life, and various other aspects of the device, indicating it has a lot more to talk about.

Apple TV owners will notice that the ‘Apple Events’ channel has returned to their main menu this morning with an invitation-matching icon. As with previous events, this channel will allow you to watch a live stream of today’s iPad keynote (here's hoping it goes better than last time).

Apple will also be streaming the event to its website, where users running Safari on OS X or iOS will be able to tune in. For those that are unable to watch live, Apple typically uploads a video of its event to its YouTube channel within 24 hours or so, or you can just follow along with us.

Apple has posted a notice on its website this morning to confirm that it will be providing a live video stream of next week's iPad event. There's no countdown timer this time, but the company published the above image showing the stream will begin at 10am on October 16.

We're expecting Apple to unveil new iPads—at least a new iPad Air—with Touch ID support, thinner profile and possibly higher resolution displays. It's also believed that we'll finally see new iMacs with Retina displays, and of course OS X Yosemite will get some stage time.

Apple TV owners have probably noticed that the 'Apple Events' channel has returned to their main menu this morning.

Christian Zibreg ∙ August 12, 2013

Sports fans know about the excellent Sports iPhone app from the U.S. broadcast network CBS. Unfortunately, for far too long has this nice piece of software remained an iPhone/iPod touch-only affair, with no native support for iPad devices.
