Invite for Apple's September 2023 event.
Apple

Apple’s next press event is set to kick off today, Tuesday, September 12, beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. The uniquely named “Wonderlust” event will almost certainly introduce the world to the iPhone 15 series and next-generation Apple Watches — including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. We could also see USB-C finally arriving on the Apple AirPods Pro.

Like last year’s event, the iPhone 15 event will be streamed across various platforms, including Apple’s website, on iPhone/iPad and Apple TV, X (formerly known as Twitter), and YouTube. Here’s a look at how to stream the highly anticipated event as it happens later today.

Apple has officially updated the Watch Now page of the Apple TV app with links to the upcoming Wonderlust event. If you open the Apple TV app on your iPhone or iPad now, you should see an “Apple Event” section right below your Up Next tab. Tap any of the images in the Apple Event section to start watching the event once the time rolls around.

And here’s a fun tip: if you tap the link a bit early, you can listen to the unique soundtrack Apple has prepared for the event.

You can download the Apple TV app on the App Store on your mobile device.

Similarly, you can also find the iPhone 15 event in the Apple TV app on your Apple TV streaming device. You will find various links to the event on the day of the event, again displayed below your Up Next section.

Search for the “Wonderlust” signage in the Apple TV app on your Apple TV streaming box, click on it, and press Play. Then, prepare to be entertained by Tim Cook and his team.

Since we didn’t score tickets to this year’s iPhone event, we’ll be watching it on our Apple TV with a few Hint waters real close to keep us hydrated!

Many people will be stuck at work as the Apple event begins. Those folks can stream the event from the Apple website.

Look for a prominent link right at the top of the Home page. You can also bookmark the Apple Events webpage and go there later today, right before the show is set to begin. The links are available across all web browsers, regardless of platform.

How to watch the iPhone 15 event on YouTube

Apple Event - September 12

A fantastic option to watch the Apple event is by accessing the company’s YouTube account. It’s especially useful for users who wish to purchase the new iPhone 15 but can only access the event through a mobile web browser … on their Android-based device.

You’ll be able to watch the iPhone 15 event on YouTube on any device that can access YouTube. Whether it’s the YouTube mobile site, the YouTube app, the YouTube website on your computer, etc. If you have a device that can open YouTube, you can watch the iPhone 15 event on it. This is also a great choice if you want to Chromecast the event to another device.

Alternatively, you can tap/click the video player above and watch the event on YouTube right here without having to go anywhere else.

Finally, don’t forget about X. The social network we once called Twitter will also host Apple’s Wonderlust event. You can find the link through Apple’s X account right before the event begins.

What happens if you miss the event?

If you can’t watch the Apple event live, don’t worry. You can stream it later on the Apple website or YouTube page. Sometimes, there may be a delay in posting the links, but they will be available at some point after the event ends.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

A few days ago, Google Gemini appeared in the Apple App Store for a user in the Philippines, who was even able to download it. We took it as a sign that the new AI assistant would soon make its way to the App Store in the U.S. Well, we were right, as you can now download Gemini as a standalone app on your iPhone, after previously only being able to access it through a browser.

The Gemini app is free to download and has a surprising number of features available. More powerful functions are available for a $20-per-month subscription, but you can try Gemini Advanced out for one month for free. It grants priority access to new features and gives a "1 million token" context window.
