Curtain raised and turned on the lights: Apple will be sure to attend a starring press gathering in a few hours.

Here is what you will probably hear once Tim Cook is on stage and how to tune in if you are not a member of the media or if you are one of the guests sitting in the audience Steve Jobs Theater at the company's Apple Park. Campus.

Where to look

Apple will retransmit the event to its website.
It is also appropriate, given the news expected of the day, that you can also watch on your big screen TV to which you have connected an Apple TV decoder. Download the Apple Events app on the App Store on the Apple TV device.

When does the event begin?

The festivities must begin at 1 pm AND. Broadway shows generally begin five minutes after the announced curtain time; movies only start when you've been treated with a lot of movie trailers. Apple press events usually start on time.

What are we going to hear?

Unless all the pre-event discussions went way off the ground – and there was no reason to assume that – Apple will almost certainly present its response to the Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime video, along with a streaming video service based on entertainment his own. Probable cost base for consumers, $ 9.99 per month, with additional charges for premium content from HBO and Showtime.

At the same time, Apple should also advertise some kind of news service and magazines containing such publications – again, if pre-launch rumors have proven accurate – like the Wall Street Journal and the People Magazine. Unknown are the status of other large properties, including the New York Times, the Washington Post and, yes, USA TODAY.

The question remains: how will Apple condition the new services and, by the way, will it bring together the existing Apple Music service?

And when do all the new services really start?

What kind of original content could we see?

Aside from Apple's early efforts on TV content – James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" and Planet of the Apps reality show – it's too early to weigh the quality of programming that may be featured on TV. Apple's service.

We know the quality of the Hollywood guys that Apple works with, and the list includes some of the biggest names in showbiz: Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, JJ Abrams, Jennifer Garner, Night Shyamalan, even Sesame Workshop. This is a good bet that you will see Cupertino cameos of all or part of the above.

What we also know is that society is divesting some of its wealth to propel the launch of new services by at least $ 1 billion.

Will Apple Unveil New Hardware?

This seems to be an unlikely prospect, except perhaps a refreshed version of the Apple TV box. Apple has almost cleaned the trays for new physical products last week after unveiling several days later new versions of the IPad mini and iPad Air tablets, iMac desktops and AirPods wireless headsets.

What we can see, however, is a new Apple credit card.
