Apple's Sept. 10 event is less than one hour away, but the question remains if the Cupertino-based organization will provide a live stream.
The Apple event is rumored to be the launching pad and confirmation for the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.

In regards to the event's broadcast, Apple has not provided an official live stream, however, they could provide it moments before the 1 p.m. EST start time.
Apple's Events page has usually featured a live stream of its events such as last October's iPad mini and iPad with Retina Display reveals and last September's iPhone 5 launch.
Based on previous live streams by Apple, users of Apple devices, such as the MacBooks, iPod, iPad and current iPhones, were able to view the live stream as long as the gadget utilized the most recent iOS.
Live streaming for the iPhone 5S event, if following the same restrictions as the 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, requires Safari 4 or later on Mac OS X v10.6 or later; Safari on iOS 4.2 or later; or QuickTime 7 on Windows. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 5.0.2 or later.
If Apple does not provide the live stream, spectators will more than likely be able to watch the rebroadcast later Tuesday on Apple Events.
As Latinos Post reported, Apple confirmed the Sept. 10 event last week. While the banner for the event did not allude to much detail, the tagline "This should brighten everyone's day" was used.
The invitation for the event also featured several bright-colored circles in blue, green, purple and yellow, which likely symbolized the low-cost iPhone that has been rumored.
Latinos Post reported, per MacOtakara, that sources claimed Apple decided to produce covers with the color saturation similar to the iPhone bumpers the Cupertino-based company already sells online. The report noted that the covers for the low-cost iPhone would be black, blue, orange, pink and white.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 could come in a gold casing.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, in his latest note, stated the upcoming iPhone will be available in a gold casing. He also projected Apple will offer a larger 128GB storage than what has been seen on the current iPhone 5.
"We reckon A7 will upgrade memory bandwidth spec to LPDDR3 from LPDDR2 adapted by A6, in an effort to improve system performance," added Kuo. "Since Apple is in charge of both hardware and OS design, it is capable of minimalizing memory capacity at an optimized state. Therefore, A7's RAM will likely be unchanged at 1GB."
