## What Tim Cook’s Teaser Tells Us

Cook’s teaser video shows hands revealing an incomplete Apple logo before shaping it up with a squeeze and a flick, with a gray colour scheme resembling a silver aluminium Apple product — and the message “It all starts Monday morning” accompanying the #AppleLaunch hashtag.

Rather than a single keynote event, Apple is hosting a multi-day press release week, with a hands-on media experience on March 4 at locations in New York City, London, and Shanghai — a format first reported by John Gruber of Daring Fireball and later confirmed by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

The most intriguing product in the lineup is the low-cost MacBook — it’s expected to be the first Mac powered by an A-series iPhone-class chip rather than an M-series chip, which would mark a significant architectural split in Apple’s Mac lineup. The iPhone 17e would continue Apple’s newly established annual update cadence for its entry-level iPhone, which replaced the years-old SE line with the iPhone 16e just a year ago.
