Apple will launch something new this week and it could be a cheaper iPhone
Summary
There is always a great sense of anticipation amongst tech fans when a new Apple product launch is rumoured, but things are more certain than usual this week after CEO Tim Cook took to X on February 13 to post an announcement that has got Apple fans buzzing. “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family”, Cook posted, with a date of February 19 and a short looping video of a shiny Apple logo. That proves Apple is set to unveil a new piece of hardware this week, but what it actually is will have to wait for Wednesday. It’s widely believed the only reason for the slight delay in 2020 was due to the covid-19 pandemic, so for Apple to potentially release the new SE in February of this year would represent the shortest gap between flagship iPhone release, in this case the iPhone 16 in September, and cheaper SE at just five months. A new SE is expected to lack the newer Dynamic Island design with floating app widgets and have a single 48MP camera, and Apple may have stripped back some other things to justify the price cut.
