“Apple will webcast today’s special event at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT today from the Yerba Buena Vista Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California via Apple TV.
Expected at today’s special event: new iPad, new iPad mini, bother featuring Touch ID, an 64-bit Apple A7X chips, along with info about Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks releases or release dates, an updated iPod touch, and possibly more.
So far, the event’s live broadcast is Apple TV-only, but that may change as Apple has usually also webcasts such events via QuickTime.
[UPDATE 9:15am EDT: Apple will also webcast to Safari users on OS X and iOS here. Live Streaming video requires Safari 4 or later on OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.]
MacDailyNews will be covering today’s event with live notes as usual right here.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews readers too numerous to mention individually for the heads up.]

Has Apple ever streamed to Apple TV but not the web?
No; they streamed to Safari browsers on iOS (including AppleTV) and OS X.
Though last time, with iPhone 5s/5c event, they did not stream at all.
Yes.
I’ll be watching. Love my Apple TV.
It doesn’t matter, because ABC News says this morning the pressure’s on Apple, because of the cheap angry green trashcan tablets.
I almost never watch any corporate media “news” these days but happened to be sitting at the wrong place at the wrong time this morning. What passes for reporting these days is flat out pathetic.
Excellent. I’ll be away from a computer all day today but hopefully when I get home I can watch the video on Apple TV.
Just read on another website this will be able to be viewed in ITunes as well as the web.

It’s been a long time since they streamed one of these live. Must be big.
Is this really it? We’ve been waiting for Apple to re-invent television for so long.
What a great day.
I think Apple’s TV strategy will be two simultaneous approaches – a box that allows HD or Utra HD legacy sets to take advantage of Apple’s technology and then a dedicated Ultra HD set with that technology built in. That all-TV’s box may show up today, the Apple made TV next year when 4K sets can be made more economically. Just my guess.
I think we’ve reached the point where, if Apple doesn’t broadcast product debuts, something’s wrong with Apple.
Apple spent 4-5 million-dollars to roll out iPhone 5S/5C and I’m sure this show was in the budget.
Imagine the lackluster day on Wall Street if Apple didn’t make any special announcements and just shipped the products to retail, leaving everyone to figure out what Apple did today?
You’d have to go into an Apple Store. 🙂
Excited for this one. Crossing my fingers Apple is gonna surprise some people today.
I don’t see any big surprises, other than the usual roll-out of amazing products that will make Bill Gates nauseous.
Collaboration in iWork is the killer app. Working together to solve problems!!!
Imagine a Congress forced to use iPads to work together instead of “face time”?
Good move Apple… no live for Windows/Android hahahahahahah
Man I hope they have a new Apple TV and open it up to sell apps and play them on the big screen.
With wireless controllers. Bye Bye Xbox and Playstation. I am using the 1st. and 3rd. Apple TV, but would have to donate them to friends and get the new one. Man hoping they kick some ass today. Go Apple.
Anyone thinking they may announce less expensive plastic clad steel colorful iMacs today? Broaden their price range to appeal to more consumers.
Thee will be no touch ID on iPad mini. The market and pundits will decimate Apple. If there is touch ID on the mini, they will decimate Apple for not halving the price to ‘ compete’ with other tablet junk ou there.
“Thee will be no touch ID on iPad mini.”
Spoken like a true Apple acolyte.
I’m not planning to watch. Why bother? We read all about it from the analysts over the last few months and what could Apple possibly reveal that “supply chain checks” didn’t already?
/s
Why bother, indeed.
Stay in the channel jim, admiring all those shiny little parts flowing by, with no surprises for you.
Sucks to be jim on a day like today!

Dan Dilger is in the audience! (He was oddly banned in the past). Hurray.
I watched it today on my ATV rev 3. Excellent quality – stream kept up perfectly at 1080p almost the entire event. It dropped a couple of times around 2h time period but didn’t miss any video.
Wonder how many streams they had active? I hope they continue this practice. Seems like the first time they did live streaming of an Apple event on ATV.
