Everything you need to know from tonight's event

Sep 9, 2015 13:47 GMT  ·  By

Apple's “Hey Siri, give us a hint.” event will start very soon, at 10:00 AM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) or 5:00 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for our European readers. The event will take place on the stage of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California, and is expected to house an unprecedentedly large audience for an Apple keynote.

As is customary, Apple will start the event with a keynote speech during which they will announce what has changed in the new releases of OS X, iOS and watchOS, together with new products and services.

If you want to view a quick recap of all the devices rumored to be unveiled during tonight's event, we have a "Hey Siri" roundup article that should put you up to speed with everything you should expect to see on stage.

You can also browse through our list of articles on the dedicated Apple Sep 9 Event page for an overview of everything that transpired about the September 9 special event and about all the possible products Apple might reveal during tonight's keynote.

Apple has sent invitations for this special event to select members of the media on August 27, and if you're not one of the lucky individuals to watch the keynote live at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, you can still follow everything going on on stage because we will cover the entire event in real time on this page.

While reading this live blog, make sure to refresh the page every few minutes to get the new event updates we publish.

The event can also be watched live on Apple's dedicated live stream web page if you have "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10."

This event can also be watched on "a second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later."
