Apple iPhone 6 event: Find out where you can catch it live

Apple’s special event where it will launch the iPhone 6 and the iWatch takes place today at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino. The event will start at 10.30 pm Indian standard time and is expected to generate massive interest given that Apple is launching two big-screened iPhones along with the iWatch as well.

So how can users watch the event? Well the link for watching the Apple event live is this.

But you should note that like all-things Apple this one too doesn’t come with easy access. You’ll need Safari browser (5.1.10 or later) to view the Apple event and an Apple device to watch it. You’ll also need Mac OS X 10.6.8 onwards on your MacBook or iMac to watch the event. On mobile, you’ll need iOS 6 and above.

From a Mac to the iPhone to the iPad to even your iPod (provided it has the right browser) you’ll need to have a device made by Apple to tune in. It might seem strange but that’s how it’s always been with Apple events. Your Windows PC or phone or your Android phone won’t be of any use.

And it’s best that you don’t trust other sites that are claiming to stream the event live, since Apple doesn’t usually give out embeds for its webcast. For those of you with Apple TV units, it’s also possible to watch event, except that you’ll need the second or third generation unit running software version 6.2 or later.

Basically if you don’t have an Apple device, we suggest you forget about watching it live, and go back to cursing Apple.

And if you’re keen on watching despite the lack of Apple products in your home, there’s the option of following our Live blog, which will be up and running in the evening. Of course Twitter will always be there to provide interesting updates as well.

For the more enterprising among you, there’s also the option of trying a user-agent-string spoofer for your browser to convince it that it’s Safari, which may or may not work.
