Apple to livestream its September 9 event to Windows 10 users

Apple has finally broken out of its ‘Apple-centric’ approach, and will now allow PC users running Windows 10 to live stream its September 9 event. PC users can view the event using Microsoft’s new Edge browser.

Earlier, if anyone wanted to view Apple’s event, they had to have an Apple device that supported Safari Browser. This included devices like iPhones, iPods, iPads, Apple TV, as well as Mac devices. That’s because Apple’s Live stream uses HTTP Live Streaming Technology, which was only supported by Safari browser, until now. Microsoft’s new Edge browser also supports the technology, and this means that anyone using Windows 10 can view the event live. However, Google’s Chrome browser is still not supported.

While Apple may have confirmed the event today, rumors about the event have been swirling around for a long time. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus at the event, and maybe even an iPhone 6c. A couple of days ago, a China Telecom official ‘confirmed’ the specs of the upcoming iPhones. According to him, the phones will have 2GB of RAM, 12MP primary camera with 4K video recording, and an A9 processor. He also said that the phones will come with Apple's Force Touch technology.

However, nothing has been confirmed by Apple as yet, and we will have to wait for the event to find out for sure. But, for now, more people will be able to watch the event live.
