Apple has posted an update to its website alerting the public that its WWDC keynote event will be available via live stream next Monday.
Although Apple has offered live streams of its events in the past, the company is often selective about which product launches it decides to broadcast — and generally reserves the live video feed option for something big.
In October, the last time Apple offered a live stream, we were treated to a look at the iPad Air, the Retina iPad min and the radically redesigned Mac Pro. However, just about a month prior to that event, the company launched the iPhone 5S and 5C, arguably the most important components of Apple's product line, without any live stream option.
Previous generations of the iPhone (3G, 3GS and 4) were debuted at WWDC, so anything is possible this time.
So while it's difficult to discern any hints about Apple's new releases in relation to its decision to live stream events, recent history suggests we can at least expect something more significant than a few mere software upgrades.
Apple watchers are hoping for anything from an iWatch to an actual Apple television, but so far the best guesses at what hardware the company might unveil seem to revolve a smart home system of some sort.
The famously secretive company has a lot of surprises up its sleeve, and is bound to unleash one or two of them next week. The live stream event will kick off on June 2 at 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET.
