Apple announced on Thursday that it will broadcast this year’s iPhone event live for Safari and Apple TV users, and today Apple TV has revived the dedicated Apple Events channel for viewing the announcement live during the event. The channel usually remains for a short time after the event for on-demand viewing. As always, we’ll be sharing major announcements from Apple’s event for those who cannot view the live stream throughout the event.
As for what to expect from this year’s September event, it’s bound to be a big one with new iPhone models including 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays expected, a new mobile payment system through NFC and Touch ID, and a preview at Apple’s highly anticipated wearable device (the iWatch/iBand or whatever Apple has decided to call it). Some even believe we may see gold iPad Airs with Touch ID introduced… We’ll of course keep you posted with the very latest as it unfolds.
(Apple’s Live Events channel should automatically appear on Apple TV 2nd and 3rd generation devices, but you can navigate to Settings > General > Restart to prompt your device to reboot just in case your box is missing it.)

Total disaster here in the UK. Japanese voice over, two different sound tracks and both the Apple TV and Safari feeds keep crashing. I watched the intro 5 times before I gave up, disappointing.
What if i want to start watching 30minutes later?. Can i start from the beginning?
No. You can either join in live or wait a little while after it is over. That’s the way it has been in the past. The benefit of watching after the fact is that you can pause and even go back to make sure you got what they said.
They usually also make them available later under Apple Events podcast on iTunes, if that is of any consolation.
The reception we had was pretty spotty for the first half or so. We’ll be watching it again later today or tomorrow. There must have been a ton of people trying to watch worldwide.
One More Thing
my jailbroken ATV 2 with software 5.2 doesn’t show that icon after a restart… but its great to have AirPlay so everyone with an jailbroken ATV can just stream it over wifi
Too bad on apple tv stream there’s Chinese translation louder than the presenters..
On Apple TV There is some ridiculous secondary audio stream playing alongside the main audio, and it keeps crashing out. Nice job apple!
Secondary audio stream is annoying and it keeps crashing …. Seriously?
My Gods what a piece of crap… Seriously can’t even have a decent feed, it’s full of errors and a Chinese woman is speaking over it… Tim Cook you are an idiot!
Streaming is not clear for such an excellent event
