At WWDC in June 2019, Apple is expected to discuss iOS 13, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13, as well as the new Mac Pro and much more. Here’s how to watch the live video stream on Monday 3 June, and when it will start in your area of residence.
WWDC 2019 lasts for a week, but all the big announcements are condensed into a two-hour keynote speech at the start. On Monday 3 June 2019 (starting at 10am California time, 6pm UK time, 19:00 Sunday, in Johannesburg, South Africa or 18:00 Sunday, in Lagos, Nigeria), Apple will unveil its plans for the next versions of iOS and macOS, and we also expect to find out more about the new Mac Pro and a new Apple Display.
Apple will livestream the keynote presentation so anyone can watch. For those who couldn’t get tickets to the event, this article explains how to watch the company talk about its new products and services – whether you want to watch on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Windows PC, or even in an Apple Store with a bunch of other fans.

How to watch on Apple TV
Apple TV users will be able to watch the keynote as long as they’ve got a 2nd-gen or later model running the latest Apple TV software or tvOS.
You can watch via the Apple Events app, which the company has updated to match the colours and other design elements seen on the WWDC 2019 invitations.
How to watch at an Apple Store
It was possible to watch Apple’s CEO Tim Cook deliver the keynote for the 25 March event in an Apple Store, so it is feasible that Apple will offer the same option with WWDC, although that’s not yet been confirmed. In the past a livestream of the video from other Apple events has been available to certain Apple Stores around the world.
To find out if your local store will be participating, and to sign up to attend the event, go to Apple’s website where you can search for your local store.
How to watch on anything else…
Apple says other platforms may be able to access the stream using recent versions of Chrome or Firefox (MSE, H.264, and AAC required).
