Apple’s WWDC 2016 keynote kicks off on Monday at 10:00 am PDT where it is widely expected to unveil iOS 10, the hotly anticipated next generation mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and OS X 10.12, the next major update for Macs, which could be rechristened as macOS.
The good news is that Apple has announced that it will be live streaming the event, so you can watch the WWDC 2016 Keynote on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows or Android device. If you need help, then you can follow the instructions below.
