In a recent social media update, Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted at an exciting “launch” set for Wednesday, February 19.
“Prepare to welcome the latest addition to our lineup,” he stated, accompanied by the hashtag #AppleLaunch.
While Cook did not specify an exact launch time or provide further details, the announcement has generated curiosity. According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, this post likely serves as a teaser for the upcoming iPhone SE. He previously indicated that the device is expected to debut next week, potentially featuring an A18 chip, a sizeable 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, and enhanced Apple Intelligence capabilities.
Could we see additional product announcements next week? Speculation suggests that new models of MacBook Air, iPad Air, and an entry-level iPad might also be in the works. Additionally, upcoming releases this year could include a refreshed AirTag, a brand-new smart home hub, and more innovative devices. We’ll have clarity on this in just six days.
Cook’s message appears to be more of an intriguing teaser rather than an official event invite, indicating that any formal announcements might be shared via press releases on the Apple Newsroom website.
