The time has come! Apple is close to announcing its new iPhone, probably a new Watch, and some other things we don't know about.

The live event takes place Wednesday, September 7 at 10am PDT. If you didn't receive an invitation like the rest of us mere mortals, a live video stream of the event will be made available by Apple. Here are all the ways you can tune in.

In a Browser

Go to Apple.com/apple-events/ to watch the stream. Apple's livestream works on any iOS mobile device running iOS 7 or newer. Mac users can watch the stream in Safari (but not other browsers). If you have Windows 10, it will work in the Edge browser.

On an Apple TV

If you have an Apple TV, you can stream right on your television set. The Apple TV will need to have the 6.2 software or newer, but will work no matter what if you have the 4th generation device. It is located inside the "Apple Events" icon on your home screen. If you don't see the icon right now, don't worry---it'll show up before the event starts. Grab some popcorn, jump on the couch and enjoy the show.

Backchannels

WIRED will be there, so check out our liveblog as we unravel everything as it happens during the event.

Twitter is a must during these things. You will be able to keep up with the news through tweets, GIFs, videos, and photos. Also, you can vicariously live your dream of attending the event through the Twitter-sphere. Along with that, one of Apple's Twitter accounts came back to life after five years of dormancy just days shy of the event. This could be a sign that Apple will livestream the event on Twitter as well, but that's a long shot.

Later

If you miss out, you'll be able to watch a full replay of the event on Apple's website shortly after the event. This will especially help if the live stream crashes like it did a couple of years ago.
