Apple Updates Apple TV Events App Ahead of Next Week's Keynote

by

Ahead of its iPhone-centric event set to take place on Tuesday, September 12, Apple has updated its Apple Events app designed for the fourth-generation Apple TV, adding new artwork and details about the upcoming keynote.

"Watch the first-ever special event held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California," reads the text of the updated app. The date and time for the event, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time are listed, and the app's icon and internal art has been updated with the multi-colored Apple logo featured on media invites.

Those who have already downloaded the app should see the update automatically, but it can be forced by finding the app in the tvOS App Store and selecting "Update."

Apple's event is expected to include the revamped OLED iPhone 8, an iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, an LTE Apple Watch, and a 4K Apple TV.

For those unable to watch Apple's live stream, which is also available on Apple's website, MacRumors will be providing live coverage here on MacRumors.com and on our MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

I would be more concerned about one(s) safety of self, families, friends and pets as a priority than materialistic things that can be replaced.

Very exciting. I just hope Hurricane Irma doesn't spoil the excitement for us living in Florida. :(
Get out now, watch the show from safety. Irma looks mean.

For those planning on watching the event live, I'm hosting a Discord channel (much like WWDC's keynote). It's super fun live chatting during the keynote!

Personally I'm not looking forward to the incessant cheerleading that occurs far too often and on cue from employees (& their spouses) in the front row as shown in every Apple presentation.

It's boring and kinda sad to see, forcing other attendees to cheer and applaud. We should not need to have Studio tv lights to coerce applause and praise for Apple's products and services. Let the praise be genuine please Apple.
