How to watch Apple’s ‘Spring Forward’ event today, and what to expect

Usually, springing forward isn’t fun at all. You lose an hour of daylight and everybody’s grumpy on Monday, but this year, we have Apple’s Spring Forward event to cheer us all up. Apple is expected to show off its Apple Watch — and who knows what else — at 10 a.m. PST and 1 p.m. EST.

We saw a short glimpse of the Watch back in September, and since then we’ve been treated to Jony Ive waxing poetic about design and that tiny little click watch straps make, as well as Vogue models wearing the Watch with fashionable outfits, but we still don’t know too much about how the Apple Watch will actually work. After today, we hope to know every single minute detail about it. We’ll most certainly hear about all the specs, the apps, the straps, and most importantly, the price and release date.

Although it’s possible that Apple will use this entire event to talk up its first-ever smartwatch, it’s also likely that Apple has something else up its sleeve. It could be the 12-inch Macbook Air we’ve heard so much about, the massive iPad Pro, the new music streaming service, some cool Beats headphones, or even HomeKit. Who knows? But it is standard to hear about “one more thing” at these kinds of events. Also, the Apple Store is shut down while the company adds new products, so we may see something go up for sale or pre-order today.

Now that we’ve got speculation out of the way, here’s how to watch the Apple event online:

  • Starting time: March 9 in San Francisco: 10 a.m. / New York: 1 p.m. / London: 5 p.m. / Berlin: 6 p.m. / Moscow: 8 p.m. March 10 in Beijing: 1 a.m. / Tokyo: 2 a.m. / Sydney: 4 a.m.
  • Stream it live online: You can watch Apple’s live stream on any Apple TV (6.2 or later) via the dedicated event channel, or on the Safari browser on OS X (10.6.8 and up) and iOS devices (iOS 6 and up). It’ll be streaming on the following website: Apple.com/live

The Apple Watch Series 10 is a bigger upgrade than you think
Someone holding the Apple Watch Series 10.

We didn't know much about the Apple Watch Series 10 going into Apple's latest hardware event. Other than a handful of small leaks here and there, this year's Apple Watch was a surprisingly well-kept secret. Now that it's official and I've had a chance to use it, was it worth that tight-lipped secrecy? It may not seem so on the surface, but I think it was.

At first glance, the Apple Watch Series 10 doesn't look very different from the Apple Watch Series 9. You still have a squircle display, the Digital Crown, the same watch band system, etc. Some rumors suggested we'd get a complete makeover of the Apple Watch in honor of the wearable's 10th anniversary, but that didn't exactly happen. However, don't let that fool you into thinking the Apple Watch Series 10 is a simple rehash of the Series 9. There are some pretty significant hardware changes here, even if they aren't immediately apparent.

It's astonishing to believe, but the Apple Watch has now been around for a decade. The all-new Apple Watch Series 10 boasts a larger display and a sleeker design. The OLED display is 40% brighter than its predecessor and 10% thinner and lighter. To mark the 10th anniversary, a jet-black model has been introduced. Rose gold and silver aluminum options are also available.
