How to watch iPhone 6s launch event on non-Apple devices

Apple is set to take the stage today, September 9, 2015 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco for an event kicking off at 10 a.m. PDT. It is expected that the Cupertino giant will unveil the latest iPhones (at least two are slated to make an appearance), new iPads and a new Apple TV.

For those unable to attend the annual launch event in person, Apple provides a live stream. But until now, only Apple device users were able to view the broadcast in real time. For Windows 10 and Android users, there is hope. Here’s how to watch Apple’s event today on non-Apple devices (see here for options to watch the live stream on Apple devices).

Non-Apple devices

For the first time, non-Apple users can now watch the live stream if they are using a Windows 10 device. The release of Windows 10 this year included the Edge browser, which supports Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. So if you’re using a Windows 10 device, just open your Edge browser and go to Apple’s live stream event page.

How about non-Apple and non-Windows 10 users?

PhoneArena has some tips on how you can watch Apple’s live stream even if you do not have the supported devices. If you have a VLC Media Player installed on your computer, you can use the player’s Network Streaming feature to watch the event. Just go the Media menu, look for “Open Network Stream” and click on it. A window will pop up asking you to enter a URL. Paste this URL: http://p.events-delivery.apple.com.edgesuite.net/15pijbnaefvpoijbaefvpihb06/m3u8/atv_mvp.m3u8. According to PhoneArena, that is the internal URL Apple TV uses to stream keynote events.

And for Android users, you can also download the VLC app for Android which also has the same network streaming feature which you can use to open the link above.
