Due to the popularity of our previous spoiler-free post, we will continue the trend as promised. The basic gist of “spoiler-free” is that participants watch the keynote video before reading about anything that has happened, which does take some effort to avoid. However, if you are planning to watch the keynote video anyway it is in a sense more entertaining to not know exactly what comes next and to leave room open for surprises.

“Spoiler-free” is really for the geeks and fanboys, as you have to actually avoid practically every news site (that includes AOL and Yahoo) while Apple prepares the video that is recorded during the event for streaming.
The reason why you would want to go “spoiler-free” is simple: you get to watch everything being unveiled with potential for surprises rather than reading it all off in a list.

It is highly recommended to set this post as your browser homepage so you will know the moment that the keynote video is up.
Yes, this is not effortless and may seem ridiculous to some, but to a select few including myself, it is worthwhile to be able to watch announcements presented (in one of Apple’s famous, arguably entertaining keynotes) without prior knowledge.
As soon as the keynote video is available online tomorrow night (usually at around 7pm EST, but that is not guaranteed), you will find the link to watch it below in an update to this post.
