Tim Cook just announced that a new addition to the Apple family tree will arrive next week.
The Apple CEO posted a seven-second clip to X teasing a launch coming February 19. He didn’t provide many details other than a metallic Apple logo with a glowing ring around it.
“Get ready to meet the newest member of the family,” Cook said.
It’s unclear which part of the Apple family this member will belong to; the tech giant offers smart watches, AirPods, MacBooks, and more.
One possibility is a new generation of the iPhone SE, the low-cost phone Apple first launched in 2016. The current model, which starts at $429, was last updated in 2022. A recent Bloomberg report has suggested a new SE is expected this month, and it will offer Apple Intelligence at a more affordable price than the iPhones that are currently compatible, per Bloomberg.
Apple’s shares were up as much as 2% after Cook’s Thursday teaser.
