'Let us loop you in' live: Apple's March 21 event will be streamed online
Apple's March 21 keynote will be streamed live on Apple TV, Mac, iPhone, iPad and more, giving consumers around the world the opportunity to be among the first to see its latest products.
The official Apple Events page has been updated in advance of the newly announced media event. Invitations were sent out earlier Thursday inviting members of the press to "let us loop you in."
The March 21 presentation uses Apple's HTTP Live Streaming technology. It requires an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later.
The event can also be streamed from second-, third- and fourth-generation Apple TV set-top boxes. On a Mac, users must be running Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X 10.8.5 or later, and PC users must use the Microsoft Edge browser in Windows 10.
The keynote will kick off that Monday at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern. It will be held at Apple's corporate headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, Calif.
It's possible the presentation could be the last to be held at Apple's current headquarters, as Cook said at last month's annual shareholders meeting that the 1,000-seat theater at Apple's upcoming Campus 2 may open in time for next year's shareholder meeting. Apple is also expected to hold an event this fall, but it will likely be in San Francisco rather than Cupertino, if history is any indication.
Apple's March 21 presentation is widely expected to be headlined by a new 4-inch iPhone with A9 processor and support for Apple Pay. It's rumored to be called the "iPhone SE."
The company is also expected to unveil a new 9.7-inch iPad with Smart Connector, quad-speaker array and A9X processor. Rumors have suggested it will be named the iPad Pro, just like its larger 12.9-inch variant.
Apple's presentation is also expected to mark the debut new bands debut for the wearable Apple Watch. The company also has new MacBooks in the works that could launch at such a media event, as Apple's notebooks are due for upgrades to Intel's latest processors.

Comments
Add some Apple Watch bands, the loop reference could be because of this, or maybe because it would be the last keynote in Infinite Loop. And don't forget release dates for the new iOS9.3, WatchOS2.2, OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan and tvOS 9.2 versions too.
There will always be a few ignorant people living in the past, clinging to their IDE hard drives, their 3.5" floppy disks and the obsolete way of doing things. These people are terrified of change, and they wouldn't recognize a brilliant, new, innovative idea even if it landed right on top of their head.
Apple's biggest successes, like the iPhone and iPad, have all been met with massive amounts of scorn, criticism and ridicule from many people. Multiple geniuses who confidently declared and loudly boasted that the products would flop. These massive idiots could not have been more wrong of course.
I hope that there's plenty of whining after this Apple event too, because I think that there is a direct corrolation between the amount of whining and the success of a product.
The iPad Pro is freaking amazing. The experience is what makes it amazing, specifically the Apple Pencil. It's nothing like other styluses, and completely changes the iPad experience in a remarkable way. It's an experience that Samsung cannot copy.
I'm hopeful that the new announcement means that those buying the 9.7" "iPad Pro" can use the "must have" Apple Pencil.
It's only 2016 now, so it's not that long ago, and my comment was just making sure that they weren't becoming complacent, since it could definitely happen again, if it's happened once before.
It took another couple of weeks to snag a Pencil. That truly transformed the experience from satisfaction to delight.
But a lot sad just the same.
It is this niche inside of a niche. I'm glad it exists, and its a great product, but I think people need some perspective on the value of it to the iPad market.
