The hype is off the charts in the tech space, as Apple is getting ready for its California Streaming event, which takes place on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 1 pm ET. The company is expected to announce the iPhone 13, as well as some other new hardware.
How to Watch Apple’s iPhone 13 Event
Watching the iPhone 13 reveal event is quite easy—stream it live on YouTube. Unlike the old days, Apple livestreams its events almost everywhere. Having the iPhone 13 unveil available on YouTube means you can watch the event on your computer, through the iPhone, iPad, or Android app, or on nearly every smart TV platform.
Alternatively, you can go to Apple’s events page and it’ll stream live on that page. You can use this web page to watch the event on any modern web browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, or whatever else you prefer). This applies to both Windows and Mac, so you almost certainly own a device that’s capable of watching the big Apple event.
There’s a button to add the event to your calendar, which will make it easy to remember when the event goes live.
If you prefer to watch it on iPhone, iPad, or Android, you can download the Apple TV app and watch it there on September 14, 2021, at 1 pm ET.
What We Expect From the iPhone 13
We’re quite sure that Apple will announce the iPhone 13 at the event. The other hardware remains a little more in question, but the phone is definitely expected to be the main announcement.
As far as what we expect the iPhone 13 to bring to the table, the rumors say the new phone will come with a smaller notch and higher refresh rate displays. Whether all or some models will feature the faster displays remains to be seen, but hopefully, Apple is able to bring a smooth refresh rate to all devices.
One example of a change coming to the phone could be an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display, which Apple uses to provide variable refresh rates to the displays on Apple Watch.
Reports from Bloomberg indicate that the phone won’t receive a major redesign, but rather it’ll feature iterative changes that will be nice, but probably won’t reinvent the wheel.
No shortage of rumors about an always-on display keeps popping up, so there’s a good chance the iPhone 13 could get one. Additionally, Apple may release new colors and fewer storage options, though that remains to be seen.
Apple’s teaser video for the event showed an interesting pan to the night sky, which could be a hint to the phone receiving some sort of astrophotography capabilities. We’d also expect plenty of other camera improvements, but the rumors on the specifics have been fairly quiet.
