Yesterday Apple finally ended all rumours about the iPhone 5 release event and sent out media invites for October 4. However unfortunately as much as most of you would personally want to attend the event in Cupertino California, we know that you can't go. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that you can't watch iPhone 5 release event live stream online for free!
The iPhone 5 release event is going to be conducted at Apple Town Hall Auditorium in Cupertino California. CEO Tim Cook will take the stage to unveil this year's most anxiously awaited smartphone and we're definitely going to miss Steve Jobs who quit Apple earlier this month. We also look forward to seeing how Tim Cook handles his first major product announcement after taking the top spot as CEO of Apple.
Apple only sends out media invites to its event, meaning that the general public can't attend these events. Their best bet is to watch iPhone 5 release event online live for free however the thing is that Apple doesn't provide an official live stream of its events. It didn't happen when Apple released iPad 2 earlier this year and it isn't going to happen at the iPhone 5 release event. When the event finishes, Apple posts the videos on its YouTube channel.
So how do you watch iPhone 5 release event live stream online? Well those who receive media invites live blog the event, this way there are a lot of sites on the internet that are live blogging the event. We here at iPhoneism will be covering the event live so be sure to drop by on October 4 as this is going to be the place for all latest updates from iPhone 5 release event. For instant updates or to get in touch, join us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
Apart from live blogs, there are independent live streams as well. Usually its someone in the attendees that's live streaming the event using either their notebook or smartphone. Since Apple doesn't allow live streaming of events, if the event staff find someone doing this they immediately tell them to stop. So if you find any independent iPhone 5 release event live stream online, do keep in mind that it would only be a matter of time before that person is approached by the staff to stop live streaming the event.
Live blogs on the other hand are precisely what you need and that's just about the only way to watch iPhone 5 release event live stream free. Keep in mind that the iPhone 5 release event is scheduled for October 4 at 10 am pacific time, if you don't know what time it is going to be live in your country, check this list of iPhone 5 event live timings for all cities and countries.
