Given the incredible hype surrounding Tuesday's
iPhone event, which begins at 1 p.m. EST (10 a.m. in Cupertino), and most people are understandably looking for an online live stream to watch the
Apple event unfold in real-time. Luckily for those interested, we have a few ways to live stream Apple's iPhone event. If Apple decides to host an embeddable live stream option, we will host the live stream directly on this page; however, should an embeddable live stream option never become available, users still have three main ways to live stream the
Apple iPhone 5S and 5C event.
For computer users, Apple is planning to broadcast the iPhone 5S and 5C event on its Safari Web browser, which requires a
Mac running OS X 10.6 or later. For mobile users, Apple will also live stream the iPhone event via Safari on iOS devices, including iPhone,
iPad, iPad mini and iPod Touch, on any device running iOS 4.2 or later. Apple has also decided to restore its “Apple Events” app on Apple
TV, and any owners of a second- or third-generation Apple TV will be able to watch the iPhone event there starting at 10 a.m. PST.
Apple will also post Tuesday's presentation in full directly on its website later in the day, which is tradition for the company; in fact, Apple never used to live stream any of its major events, which made the unveilings feel more mysterious and exclusive. It was believed that Apple founder Steve Jobs wanted total control over his product launches, and choosing to live stream any Apple events would effectively remove control provided by the editing room. With millions of live viewers tuning in to watch the single real-time stream, Jobs may have wanted a chance to correct any on-stage blunders, which aren't uncommon for technology-related unveilings (right,
Microsoft?) But the live stream option changed with Tim Cook at the helm at Apple, likely because the former operations specialist realizes how these product announcements are great opportunities to directly and indirectly promote company products (since you need to own an Apple device to live stream the event in the first place).
