Apple's Next Launch Starts Today

Following a new AirTag in January, Apple is set to unveil its next new products of 2026 starting today. Apple CEO Tim Cook teased that the company will have a "big week ahead," with announcements set to begin this Monday, March 2.

Apple Announces Special Event in New York Feature 1
Apple is reportedly planning a three-day stretch of product announcements from Monday, March 2 through Wednesday, March 4, with at least five new products expected to be unveiled, including a lower-cost MacBook, an iPhone 17e, and more.

Other possible products include an iPad Air with an M4 chip, an iPad 12 with an A18 chip and Apple Intelligence support, a MacBook Air with the M5 chip, and MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. We are also waiting for long-awaited Apple TV and HomePod mini updates, but it is unclear if those are coming this week.

I am not at all excited. I used to be when Apple events were events. Now they could be covered with a Press release as there is not really anything to see except more bugs, poor UI design and features that nobody wants.
