How to watch Apple iPhone 6S launch event on Windows, Apple & Android

Apple is going to host the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus event at the Graham Civic Auditorium today, not everybody can join the launch in person, and so the Cupertino giant has arranged live streaming for the biggest event from Apple.

To watch the streaming all you need to do is go to Apple.com and look for the Special Event tile located in the bottom half of the website. Otherwise, this link is also going to do the work for the viewers.

For Windows 10 and Apple devices:

Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an 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. Streaming via Apple TV requires a second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later.

On Windows 8 and Windows 7:

First you need have is VLC media player available for the download with just a Google search. Once downloaded and installed, click on the tab Media > Open Network Stream and then paste the following URL.

You must be aware of the fact that the streaming will only work when the show is live and only the media player mentioned above or other supporting the network streaming.

For Android:

To stream the show on Android smartphones, all you need to do is first download the player and in the Stream option from the Menu, paste the above link to the stream.

This is the first time when Apple is allowing people outside the ecosystem to watch the show. Windows 10 users with Edge browser can view the live streaming, and apparently, the primary fear here is the lag appearing in the streaming. It has happened before, and with an increased number of users from both the Apple and Microsoft world would increase the traffic and stress on the servers. We really hope Apple has made amendments to avoid such scenarios.

People from around the world are going to watch the live unveiling of Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, and probably other products are also going to get revealed during the event. We are expecting an Apple TV, Watch bands, iPad Pro, iPad Mini, iPad Air 3 and much more from the event.

As we talk about the launching, there are few things we may expect from this event this year. Looking at the reports and rumors, we have the Force Touch display, thicker shell made out of the Aluminum 7000 series alloy, 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 13 MP camera, improved Touch ID and much more to arrive this year.

Also, we are looking at a reduced price tag for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Carriers are going to introduce the smartphone at the same $199 starting price for the 16GB variant, but apparently the unlocked variant is going to arrive with a $50 less price tag.
