Tim Cook Teases an 'Apple Launch' Next Wednesday

Who really cares about a new SE phone anyway?

Apparently, the many many people here who post about it. Also, the people who routinely get SE's from their employers. The people who get them as part of their mobile contract. People who want a phone. People who don't buy into the notion that anyone else pays attention to what phone they have. People who don't think their phone is a status symbol or any kind of a statement, really.

are people that buy the SE even big Apple fanboys? Doubt they even pay attention to this sort of thing. Quit teasing me Tim and drop that homebot damnit.

Some people buy the SE because they don't need extra features in their phone when they already have an ipad and a mac. I'd guess the percentage of single Apple device users is much higher among who buy the "normal" or pro phones.

Don't understand how this is iPhone SE. The teaser image doesn't remind me of a phone. Plus the whole "Newest member of the family" doesn't compute with an iPhone that's existed before.

Because if will have a new name, like 16E, and the "family" it belongs to is the iPhone 16 family.
 
Musk has bought Apple or became the largest stockholder.
He will now replace Timmy as CEO 😱

Hope not, but it do sounds like it has something to do with Musk, something will be launched into space, related with an Apple service - maybe?

However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes the post is a teaser for Apple announcing a new iPhone SE. He previously said the device would be unveiled by next week, with rumored features including an A18 chip, a larger 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, Apple Intelligence support, and more.

why are we even brining up Mark Gurman these days? It's been "new product next week" almost every week. One week he will be right. Does he know what product? again he has been predicting several including the MBA 5. one of them will be right.

as for Tim? yeah, I am in the camp dont get your expectations too high for a new product line. Any new skew is a new skew and a new member of the family. Don't get me wrong I WISH it was something new, I do, but what I am fearing is afterwards people hyped will lead to the typical wave of people saying 'is that all, Apple has lost their way, they can't innovate' blah blah. You know it will happen. That and no matter what, people will say, too expensive, and not enough ram or storage or if it has a screen, why isn't it OLED, until they get OLED, and then complain its not as whatever as LCD.

One of these weeks we wont be disappointed. Maybe.

Sounds like a lot of baseless speculation to me but then again what do I know.

Still though the word "launch" doesn't need to be space related. And Musk reposting this post doesn't mean he's involved.

Unless of course you were just kidding around.

Don't forget "not a mini, can't fold, 60MHz" etc.

iPhone SE, next gen AirTag, M4 MacBook Air, new iPad, M4 Max / M4 Ultra, etc, etc, are NOT what I would consider a new "member of the family". But that's just me.

Wasn't there rumor of a home hub / console with display? That would be more like a new "member of the family". Though if it is not wall mounted and draws power from an outlet directly, then wall mounting a iPad mini would achieve the same thing and not worth the hype.
 
Super thin Air Tag that can be rolled up and put in a suppository. Then you can find your own Azz without having to use both hands..... And it scans for colon cancer too.

I have no idea either, just brought up 'the worst case scenario’ - I rather be positively surprised than chocked for what could be the worst.

Maybe a game console? A lot of games are releasing on the Mac App Store this month.
