Apple to Livestream WWDC Keynote Address on Monday

This year’s WWDC might be one to remember, and Apple wants to make sure you witness the festivities firsthand. The iPhone maker announced today that it plans to host a live video stream of the event’s keynote address on the company’s home page on June 2, and this time you can even watch it on Windows.

Specifically, you’ll need to view it with Safari 4 on better on either a Mac or iOS device, and you can watch it through Windows if you have QuickTime 7 installed. Have an Apple TV? Apple will be broadcasting the event via a special channel for WWDC.

You may want to watch this one if you can, although (as always) we’ll be updating the Mac|Life site with news articles as Tim Cook and friends reveal new information. It’s possible we’ll get to see long-fabled products such as the “iWatch” at the event along with a rumored home automation system, in addition to comparatively mundane updates such as OS X 10.10 and new iMacs and MacBook Airs. We’re also likely to hear about iOS 8, and we’ll get to see if all those rumors about its focus on health turn out to be true.

The event kicks off at 10 a.m. PST next Monday. If you’re a developer who didn’t get to attend the event in person, you’ll be able to watch videos from the special sessions through the online dev centers for iOS and Mac for several days after WWDC.

As 9to5Mac notes, Apple has already started hanging banners at San Francisco’s Moscone Center in preparation for the event, each with a tagline that reads “Write the code. Change the world.”
