We will be providing live coverage of Apple's March 25th special event at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California. The keynote begins at 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT.

We're expecting Apple to unveil a subscription video service consisting of its own original content plus the ability to subscribe to third party channels including HBO, Starz, Showtime, and others.

Additionally, Apple will likely announce a news and magazines subscription service that will offers users access to over 200 magazines and various publications for one monthly fee.


Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, Google , or RSS and we'll let you know when things get started!
