Apple CEO Tim Cook has generated buzz on X with a cryptic post featuring a teaser video that hints at welcoming a new product into the Apple family on February 19. The video, which prominently displays a metallic Apple logo along with the phrase “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family,” is widely believed to signal the upcoming release of the iPhone SE 4. This follows earlier expectations that the new model might be unveiled alongside the Powerbeats Pro 2 earphones.
The next-generation iPhone SE is expected to mark a significant update to Apple’s budget-friendly lineup. It is rumored to take on design cues from the iPhone 14, featuring a larger display complete with a notch for Face ID, thereby moving away from the traditional home button and Touch ID. Along with these design changes, the iPhone SE 4 is anticipated to be powered by Apple’s advanced A18 chip, which hints at enhanced speed and AI capabilities, and may adopt USB-C ports in light of evolving EU regulations.
In addition to the iPhone launch, several reports have pointed towards other forthcoming announcements from Apple. Among these are speculations of a new MacBook Air equipped with an M4 chip and potential news about the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset. At this stage, the only confirmed detail is the scheduled announcement on February 19, leaving tech enthusiasts eager for more information in the coming days.
