Apple Special Event — September 10, 2019

The annual Apple September event is always one of the biggest in the year and the reason? New iPhones. But there’s usually more than just iPhones, and this year alongside a potentially new Apple Watch, there may be a reveal of a new MacBook Pro, a new iPad, as well as the official release of iOS 13, iPadOS, and more.

Check out our guide on what we expect to see at Apple’s September event, and read on to find out how you can watch it live from the comfort of your home, work, or just about anywhere. Here’s how to watch Apple’s September event.

When is the event?

Apple’s big event is set for September 10, starting at 10 a.m. PT ( 1 p.m. ET), and the venue is the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in Cupertino, California.

Watch the Apple event on YouTube

In a surprise move, Apple is finally streaming the event on YouTube, making it even easier than ever before to watch the momentous occasion. Click the video above to watch it on your phone, desktop, or laptop in the YouTube app or YouTube desktop site. It streams from Apple’s YouTube channel.

How to watch the Apple event on a PC or Mac

Apple stopped limiting the live streams of its events to the Safari browser last year, so Windows users have some options. Simply head over to Apple’s events webpage shortly before the event starts.

There will be a few requirements devices will need to fill before they’re able to watch the official live stream though:

Safari on Mac running MacOS 10.12 Sierra or later
Microsoft Edge on a PC running Windows 10

It should also work on newer versions of Google Chrome and Firefox that support MSE, H.264, and AAC.

On an iPad or iPhone? Just use the Safari browser to navigate to the Apple events webpage, and you should have no trouble watching it.

How to watch the Apple event on an Apple TV

If you’d rather watch the Apple event stretched out on your couch like you’re binging on the best Netflix shows, then Apple has an option for you. To watch the September event on Apple TV, download the “Apple Events” app from the TV App Store, and tune in just before it’s due to start and select the live stream.

The iPad is finally getting the Affinity app creatives have been asking for

Affinity brings photo editing, vector design, page layout, and sketching together in one free iPad app.

Affinity UI on iPad

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac

Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Tablets

Apple will only give you the fastest iPad mini chip if you pay $999, or more

The full A20 Pro experience on Apple’s new iPad mini is reserved for buyers spending at least $999.

Apple iPad mini with 6-core CPU

Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.

The $999 model gets more than extra storage
