Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday teased an upcoming product launch, scheduled for February 19. In a post on X, Tim Cook wrote, “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family. Wednesday, February 19.”

While the post didn’t provide many details, it featured an animated metallic Apple logo. Following the post, Apple shares went up by 2% on Thursday, reported Bloomberg.

The post clearly means that Apple will be launching a product next week, and it is speculated that the company might be unveiling the much-awaited iPhone SE 4.

Earlier, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple will be launching the iPhone SE 4 this week. However, he later said that the budget iPhone will be unveiled next week.

The iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to look similar to the iPhone 14 with a larger screen and Face ID, marking the end of the Home button. The device will be powered by the A18 chip and will feature Apple’s in-house 5G modem, replacing components from Qualcomm.

The iPhone SE 4 will sport only one back camera and may have a 48MP main lens used in the iPhone 15. It is also said to come with 8GB RAM, enhancing support for Apple Intelligence.

Apart from the iPhone SE 4, Apple will release other products soon, which include the M4 MacBook Air, the M3 iPad Air, and the iPad 11.
