Apple to unveil newest product today: Here's what we know about the launch
Apple plans to unveil the "newest member" of its tech family on Wednesday.
Tim Cook, the company's chief executive officer, announced last week on social media it plans to roll out a new product, but did not disclose further details.
However, multiple reports have suggested Apple is planning to unveil its latest budget iPhone mode, which would mark the fourth generation of the lower priced iPhone SE model.
It has been three years since the Cupertino, California-based company released its latest iPhone SE.
The new iPhone will likely be priced higher than the one released in 2022 ($429), Reuters reported.
"If the SE 4 offers meaningful upgrades in design, performance, and AI features, it could reinvigorate its market appeal and strengthen Apple's position across different price segments," Counterpoint Research senior analyst Varun Mishra told Reuters.
Launched in September, the latest iPhone 16 starts at $799 for the base model.
When is the Apple launch?
Cook said Apple's newest product would be unveiled on Wednesday, Feb. 19, but a specific time has not been announced.

iPhone 17 may have a surpring new color that's like nothing we've seen before
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. There's always one more story about the iPhone 17 before it's actually revealed. Even though MacWorld's Filipe Espósito leaked all 15 colors expected for this upcoming lineup, the Weibo leaker Instant Digital believes the 'white' color for the iPhone 17 Pro might actually be more interesting than we might have assumed. In a post, the leaker said there's a 'special' color variant that might be 'connected to the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design.' While there are a few ways Apple could make that connection, it'll be interesting to see the company take this step further in blending software and hardware. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals The company's most ambitious software update in years is arriving alongside a hardware change. So it's only natural that Apple might want to create a standout color for the iPhone 17 Pro. From a marketing perspective, Apple could end up with too many 'main' colors to promote for the iPhone 17 Pro. It's already expected to come in new Orange and Deep Blue finishes. If a transparent option is added, that's yet another look to showcase. What makes me think this leak could be accurate is that X user Majin Bu recently shared images of third-party lens covers that might reflect the new iPhone 17 colors. Instead of a white option, the leaker referred to a 'Transparent' one, which could line up perfectly with this new rumor. Also, since Apple began using new technology to apply color within the iPhone glass, it seems possible the company could tweak this method to allow the iPhone's color to subtly shift depending on lighting. Wrap up Of course, this is all speculation, and we still have a couple of months before Apple unveils the new iPhone 17 lineup. Several changes are expected for these devices, including an all-new Air model, better cameras, improved processors, a brand new software, and more.

Corning staves off antitrust fine as EU regulators accept concessions to mobile phone makers
By Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS (Reuters) -EU antitrust regulators on Friday accepted glass maker Corning's offer to waive exclusive deals with mobile phone makers and glass processing companies and scrap purchasing clauses to end an eight-month long investigation and stave off a possible fine. The U.S. company, which sells a break resistant glass used as a cover for mobile phones, tablets and smart watches under the Gorilla Glass brand, counts Samsung, Sony, Google, HP, Dell and Nokia as its customers. Apple is reportedly a customer too. Corning submitted concessions to the European Commission in November last year. Corning has now agreed "to waive all exclusive dealing clauses in all its current agreements with OEMs (original equipement makers) and finishers", the EU antitrust enforcer said in a statement. It will also not require OEMs to purchase, or cause their supply chain to purchase, more than 50% of their demand from the company. The offer is valid for 9 years. EU antitrust violations can cause companies as much as 10% of their turnover.

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 Goes From Bear Market Territory to Record Level. Now What?
Stock Market Today: S&P 500 Goes From Bear Market Territory to Record Level. Now What? originally appeared on TheStreet. Updated 10:55 a.m. EDT Traders pick and choose on a summer Friday It's Friday. There's been a whole lot of news, financial, political and otherwise, after record highs on Thursday, and perhaps stock traders are taking the day off. It is summer after all. In any event, choosy appears to be the operative word on trading screens. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is off more than 135 points at 44,349. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is flat at 6,298, and the Nasdaq Composite Index is down 13 points to 20,873. The Nasdaq-100 Index, which is the Nasdaq on steroids, was down 28 points to 23,053. Thursday saw the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Nasdaq-100 hit new all-time highs. The trio all hit new highs this morning and then fell back. So, Apple () is up a little. Tesla () is up 2.5%. Coinbase () is up 5.7%. But Facebook parent Meta Platforms () , Microsoft () and Nvidia () are all lower. Stock Market Today A new high: After saying hello to bear-market territory in April, the S&P 500 is now up more than 7%. A decent year's gain is around 10%, so we've already had a pretty good one. Can the market keep going? Well, earnings have been positive. So, if corporate earnings can continue to hum, there's no reason that the market couldn't go higher. This morning, however, futures are softening. While they're slightly above yesterday's close, they're off the highs set overnight. Today's corporate earnings have mostly been positive. Financial-services giants American Express () and Charles Schwab () , technology stalwart 3M () and energy-technology superstar SLB, formerly Schlumberger, () , all beat analysts' estimates for the latest quarter and are trading higher. The information-technology and outsourcing-services provider Wipro () is trading lower on earnings that met expectations. The big news is crypto. After all, it's Crypto Week and the U.S. government has come together to pass a stablecoin bill, which has sent crypto prices to the moon. Crypto assets now top $4 trillion.
