How to watch Apple's April 20 'Spring Loaded' event
Apple's "Spring Loaded" event is set to debut on April 20 and will be available to watch across most Apple devices from iPhone to Apple TV, as well as from your favorite browsers.
On Tuesday, April 20, Apple will host its first event of 2021, dubbed "Spring Loaded." It will again be a pre-produced video with no live audience, to prevent the unnecessary spread of the coronavirus.
Like all Apple events, "Spring Loaded" will be available to watch online, and viewers will have a few different options to choose from when tuning in to the event.
Additionally, watching it on YouTube allows you to view it from the YouTube app on your iPhone or iPad, in your favorite browser, be it Safari or something else, or on the YouTube app for Apple TV.
On April 20, you'll need to open the Apple TV app around 1:00 pm Eastern/10:00 am Pacific. Running a search for "Apple events" beforehand yields nothing particularly useful, either. Instead of a landing page for upcoming events, you'll only find previous events listed under the "movies" section.
If you head to Apple's U.S. Apple Events page, you'll see a placeholder image informing you of when to tune in.
Apple directs all users to tune in via the U.S. site
If you view the page from a non-U.S. site, it simply directs you to head to the U.S. site instead and offers a link to head straight to the page linked above.
It's probable that Apple's decision to limit the streaming to its U.S.-facing site results from some lessons learned over the WWDC coverage. In which case, the replay might be made available on all Apple sites afterward.
AppleInsider will be covering the event live, providing full analysis during and after the event, and will include details of all of Apple's product launches and updates.
Stay on top of all Apple news right from your HomePod. Say, "Hey, Siri, play AppleInsider," and you'll get latest AppleInsider Podcast. Or ask your HomePod mini for "AppleInsider Daily" instead and you'll hear a fast update direct from our news team.
