Apple's 'Gather Round' Event Will Be Live Streamed on Twitter

Tuesday September 11, 2018 9:15 am PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple has confirmed that it will live stream its "Gather Round" event on Twitter, in addition to Apple.com as usual.



Just to be clear, MacRumors has confirmed that Apple's promoted tweet refers to an actual live stream of the entire keynote on Twitter, likely complementing tweets and photos of highlights from the event. Twitter users can "like" the tweet to receive keynote-related updates from Apple on event day.

Wednesday will mark the first time Apple live streams an event on Twitter. Apple has been gradually expanding the ways that people can watch its live streams over the past few years, making them viewable in Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, in addition to its own Safari browser across Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

The keynote can also be live streamed via the Apple Events app on Apple TV. On the fourth-generation Apple TV and newer, the app is available from the tvOS App Store. On the second- and third-generation Apple TV, the app appears on the home screen automatically within close proximity of events.

Apple's keynote begins Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time at Steve Jobs Theater, situated on its Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. MacRumors will be providing live coverage of the event beginning around 8:15 a.m. Pacific Time tomorrow, accompanied by live tweets via @MacRumorsLive.

Does anyone else think that Apple's "One More Thing" will be a round watch model to go with their rectangular models?

Nope, not happening.

anyone else wish they would go two generations between products?

maybe they would have more time to "innovate" rather than tout new colors as upgrades.

i mean hell, people spend their livelihoods getting the newest and greatest product every year, the endless cycle of consumerism is gross.


There’s no rule saying you have to buy every new model. Many Apple customers buy carefully and keep their products for the long haul. I’m still on a 6S and series 0. Both have served me faithfully and it will take pretty compelling products (or hardware failure) to upgrade.

I wish, my Series 3 sits in a dresser draw as I type this. It was my first Apple watch got it at Christmas and I wore is for 6 months straight. That said I think it is fugly and I have moved back to analog watches, all of which are round. I thought I would miss all if stuff the watch did for me. Took maybe 3 days to go back to my old ways and honestly I feel better without that extra layer of non-critical notification constantly on my arm.

If and when they make a round one I will consider it.


Why not sell your AW if you aren’t going to wear it? I like the convenience of the AW. I never have my phone (or watch) on audible alerts, and I like being able to set my phone down when I get home from work and walk away from it. If an urgent matter or phone call comes in, my watch let’s me know. I get how they may not be for everyone though.
