Whether you want to watch the presentation on a smartphone, a tablet, a computer, or a TV, Apple has you covered. The "Unleashed." event is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET and can be streamed everywhere from Apple.com to Apple TV to YouTube.

We've got a full rundown of how to watch it, or you can watch the stream here:

Of note: The YouTube stream tends to lag slightly behind the stream on Apple's own website.

What we expect from the event: New versions of the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini lines, and a potentially major update to Apple's wireless headphones, AirPods.

Apple has been integrating its in-house M1 chips into every computer it makes, and it looks like the MacBook Pros are due to get the new chip as part of a major upgrade announced during Monday's event.

That's according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who reported that Monday's event will focus on the first major MacBook Pro redesign in five years. The biggest expected change: The removal of the divisive touch bar above the laptop's keyboard area.

That's not the only device that could be getting a redesign — Apple's wireless headphones, AirPods, may finally be getting a model that loses the stem, MacRumors reported. The headphones were initially reported to appear at last month's big iPhone event, but that announcement is said to have been pushed back to October.

Finally, a minor update could be coming to Apple's smallest desktop computer, the Mac Mini.
