Apple's "Let Us Loop You In" event this Monday is one that should not be missed. Indeed, amid weak iPhone sales and a 9.7-inch iPad that is quickly getting cannibalized by its siblings, the March 21 launch of the rumored iPhone SE and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro comes at a very important time for Apple.
Of course, for Apple fans and techies in general, the tricky part of the event is being able to watch it live. With that said, we have decided to give Apple fans and techies in general a few tips on how to watch Apple's "Let Us Loop You In" event as it happens.
For iOS, Mac and Apple TV Users
Product launches such as this event are always live streamed by Apple on its official website. However, the live stream would, as usual, be limited to those who are using Apple's native operating systems such as iOS and Mac OS X.
Take note that only devices running iOS 7 or later and Mac OS X 10.8.5 with Safari 6.0.5 or later can view the event live. Those using Apple TV devices would also be able to watch the event as it happens, as long as the device is running Apple TV 6.2 or later.
Those who do not have Apple devices need not fret as there are still a number of ways in which to access the live stream of the event using non-Apple devices and operating systems.
For Windows 10 Users
Users using Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 10, could basically get a free pass by watching the event through the Edge Browser. Just like those using Macs, users would simply need to go to Apple's website to access the live stream.
For Chrome and Firefox Users
For those who do not have Apple devices and are not using Windows 10, there are still a number of workarounds available. If users are up to it, a number of tweaks to Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox could be done in order to bypass Apple's restrictions on the live stream of the event. Among these would be to utilize add-ons and extensions to modify users' browser settings.
For those who would like to skip on the add-ons and the extensions, there are also ways to manually change Chrome or Firefox's browser settings. Check out the walk-through for this here.
For Users Running Android, Linux and Older Windows OS
A final resort lies in one of the most popular third-party video players, VLC Media Player, which is compatible with devices running Windows, Linux and Android systems. Simply download the player here, select "Open Media," open the Network Tab, and enter the URL from Apple's website.
Just keep in mind that the actual live stream would need to start before grabbing the exact URL from Apple's official website.
Apple's "Let Us Loop You In" event is set to start at 1:00 p.m. EST on Monday, March 21, with CEO Tim Cook taking the stage.
