by JoshuaG via YouTube

Probably safe to say there won't be any of these theatrics this time around, Apple being a much slicker, less cheeky organisation now. But they might pay tribute to it.

(They will, of course, reportedly be killing off 32-bit software. Perhaps that'll be the time for another mock funeral.)

The video stream is live, by the way. Now you too can listen to the music the people in the hall are listening to. (Until now that's been "provided by Beats 1" – but Apple seems to have dropped that branding.)

That's a very big crowd!

The music has turned off and it's 6pm. We're go!

[5 June 2017 18:00 · Andrew Griffin]

OK no – the music just faded down. We're still waiting. (and people are still entering the hall.)

[5 June 2017 18:03 · Andrew Griffin]

A disembodied voice echoes across the theatre: please set your devices to silent mode. The presentation will begin "shortly", it says.

[5 June 2017 18:08 · Andrew Griffin]

We are go!
