1. March 4 Hardware Event Details
Apple will hold a hardware event on March 4 where it is expected to unveil a lower-cost MacBook Air model and its entry-level iPhone 17E variant. Both products aim to broaden Apple’s addressable market and counter competitive pressure in mid-tier segments.
2. CES AR Glasses Demonstrations
At CES, Apple’s augmented-reality glasses prototypes drew widespread interest, with industry participants suggesting the device could become a top holiday season offering. The consumer-level feasibility indicates Apple is on track to commercialize AR wearables by year-end.
3. Berkshire Hathaway Trims Apple Stake
