Apple teases Feb. 19 launch as AI-ready budget iPhone looms
Tim Cook just teased a Feb. 19 Apple product launch, which Bloomberg reports will be a new budget iPhone. The entry-level model is expected to feature the A18 chip to run Apple Intelligence, ditch the home button for Face ID, and debut Apple’s first in-house cellular modem. Bringing Apple Intelligence down to the lower-end lineup shows Apple is serious about expanding its AI footprint fast.
