Apple CEO Tim Cook just confirmed rumors of an upcoming Apple launch next week.
In a post on X, Cook wrote, “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family. Wednesday, February 19,” using a motion graphic of a silver shimmering Apple logo.
Cook didn’t specify anything beyond the launch happening on Wednesday, but Apple insiders believe it’s a new version of the iPhone SE, which hasn’t seen an upgrade since 2022, and possibly a MacBook Air with an M4 chip. The rumored iPhone SE 4 could come with Apple Intelligence thanks to an A18 chip, which also powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. It will also reportedly have a significantly larger display than the previous iPhone SE 3, going from 4.7 inches to 6.1 inches. Purportedly leaked images also show a matte black colorway and a single rear camera.
The M4 MacBook Air is likely on the way since Apple inadvertently confirmed this in files related to the macOS 15.2 Sequoia release, according to MacRumors. That could be announced next Wednesday or sometime later, but it’s basically a matter of when.
Cook also didn’t say what time to expect the announcement, which reinforces the prediction that the new devices will likely be in a press released instead of a livestream. Stay tuned for the drop on Feb. 19.
