New products likely to be revealed at the keynote include iOS 8, OS X 10.10, a home automation platform, and potential new hardware. Apple is also said to be unveiling more plans for its iBeacon technology.
Apple's keynote kicks off at 10:00 AM Pacific Tine, and MacRumors will also be providing a live blog, live tweets via the MacRumorsLive Twitter account, and a spoiler free page for those who want to watch the full keynote at a later time.
