Apple has yet to announce any new devices this year, but that could change starting tomorrow.
Last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said to "get ready" for a "launch" on Wednesday, February 19.
"Get ready to meet the newest member of the family," he said, in a post on X. The post includes an #AppleLaunch hashtag, along with a short video featuring an animated Apple logo inside a circle, fueling online speculation. For example, does the circle mean the rumored AirTag 2 will finally be announced next week? Probably not.
Instead, the "newest member of the family" is expected to be a new iPhone SE.
Another rumored name for Apple's next entry-level iPhone is iPhone 16E, which would be the newest member of the iPhone 16 family.
The new iPhone SE or iPhone 16E is rumored to feature a larger 6.1-inch OLED display, an A18 chip, Face ID, a USB-C port, Apple Intelligence support, and more.
Will any other new products be unveiled next week? Rumors suggest new MacBook Air, iPad Air, and entry-level iPad models will be launching in the coming weeks. It is unclear if any of those products will be announced tomorrow, though.
If we are especially lucky, maybe Apple is planning to preview its rumored smart home hub ahead of shipping beginning later this year? This possibility is much more of a long shot, but we shall find out in just one day from now.
Cook's post seems to be more of a teaser than an event invite, so it seems likely that any announcements would be shared in press releases on the Apple Newsroom website. But, there could be YouTube videos too, like we saw when Apple announced new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models with M4 chips last October.
We'll find out exactly what Apple has planned tomorrow!
