ORIGINAL STORY

Apple will stream the event on its website, but comes a few caveats. You can only watch it on Apple TV, or on an Apple computer or mobile device running the Safari web browser.

The WWDC keynote is where Apple offers the first details on its latest version of iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone and iPad. It's likely Apple will also reveal refinements to the Apple Watch, which launched earlier this year.

But the biggest announcement might be the unveiling of its streaming music service, leveraging its acquisition of Beats Electronics last year for $3 billion. Recent reports suggest the service will cost $10 a month, but include a free option with a smaller selection of songs along with stations curated by human DJs.

As for iOS 9, the next version of its operating system, it's expected to run more efficiently that previous releases as well as take up less space. Analysts also expect improved notifications and changes to the keyboard.

As for Apple TV, the company's set-top box for streaming video? Don't hold your breath for any announcements. Several reports have suggested the company is planning to revamp the device and launch its own streaming TV service.
