We are hours away from Apple’s big ‘Awe Dropping’ event, which promises several big announcements like the iPhone 17, the Apple Watch Series 11, and the AirPods Pro 3. The whole presentation will be streamed live, like most of Apple’s events, and those events tend to be pretty entertaining to watch (for tech nerds like us, at least). It’s also widely accessible, so you won’t have to try too hard.
The event is slated to start at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) and should last around an hour to an hour and a half. On top of the above products, Apple is also expected to launch the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, and potentially the long-awaited second generation of the AirTag. There are some things we’re all but certain Apple won’t announce, but for the most part, these September iPhone launch events are pretty set in stone.
In any case, here are all the livestreaming options to bookmark. Oh, and don’t forget to stop by our live blog where we’ll be recapping it blow by blow.
Apple’s website
Officially, Apple is streaming the event directly from its events website. Simply show up there at the appointed time, and a live stream option will appear. Apple does this with all of its events, and the streams generally have good quality, so it’s a good place to start. Apple even has a handy “Add to calendar” function so you can get a reminder when it starts.
Apple TV
Apple is also streaming the event on its Apple TV app. Simply launch the app at the appointed hour, and there will be an option to stream the Apple Event 2025 live.

YouTube
There will be several publications live-streaming the event on YouTube, including our sister site CNET. These live streams will be mirrors of the actual event and may have some additional commentary from reporters at the event. In addition, these live streams usually have an active comment section so you can chit-chat about the event while you watch it if you prefer, which is the primary benefit of watching it this way.
Apple’s official YouTube channel will also live-stream the event. Follow the link to head straight to the video. This will be the same stream as you’ll find on Apple’s website and Apple TV, but with the convenience of being on YouTube, which has a lot more options for watching, especially for folks without an iPhone.
The CNET and Mashable live show
While we can’t stream the Apple event directly, Mashable’s Tech Editor will be joining tech editors from our sister sites CNET, Lifehacker, and PCMag for a live pre- and post-show event. You can tune into our coverage on YouTube.
What to expect
For the most part, Apple is expected to launch the devices listed above, including its iPhone 17 Air, a competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. However, aside from the new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, there is a small, non-zero chance that Apple may sneak in some other fun stuff as well, such as a revamped Apple TV 4K.
