When is the Apple event – and how to watch it live

Apple counts down the seconds until the 2014 keynote.

Are you ready for a new iPhone? Apple will unveil what many expect to be its next generation smart phone Tuesday at a media event in Cupertino, Calif. But when exactly does this 2014 keynote kick off?

The Apple event begins at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern).

The company sent out very invitations, but you can watch the event from home – or the office, if you're discreet about it. Several technology news outlets will run live blogs, offering bullet points, images, and commentary. Apple will also broadcast the keynote live on its website. Apple.com already has a counter ticking down the seconds until company reps take the stage.

If you're wondering what Apple might debut Tuesday, Monitor writer Clinton Nguyen published a piece on what we know and what we think we know. Supply-chain scuttlebutt points to a larger iPhone in perhaps two different sizes. Reports suggest we will see a 4.7-inch phone and its 5.5-inch big brother. The current iPhone has a 4-inch screen. Bloggers have circulated a video of what the iPhone 6 may look like. 

We also might get a glimpse at the fabled iWatch, although the smart watch may not come out until next year. 

Fans have already set up camp outside major Apple stores, without really knowing what the company plans to unveil Tuesday. There is a list of demands, though. In a survey by uSell.com, 37 percent of respondents said improved battery life was their most desired improvement, while 19.2 percent wanted a bigger screen above all else. As for most desired new features, 45.5 percent named the much-rumored sapphire crystal screen.

While regular rumors make it seem inevitable that Apple will debut an iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch sapphire screen, Apple chief Tim Cook and the gang try to sprinkle in a few surprises on the software side.

All will be revealed when Apple executives walk on stage Tuesday at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern).

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
