Apple plans to announce the iPhone 17e on Thursday, February 19, according to Macwelt, the German equivalent of Macworld.
The report, citing industry sources, is available in English on Macworld.
Apple announced the iPhone 16e on Wednesday, February 19 last year, so the iPhone 17e would be unveiled exactly one year later if this rumor is accurate. It is quite uncommon for Apple to unveil...

In the iOS 26.4 update that's coming this spring, Apple will introduce a new version of Siri that's going to overhaul how we interact with the personal assistant and what it's able to do.

"Watch how the new front facing camera on iPhone 17 Pro takes group selfies that automatically expand and rotate as more people come into frame," says Apple. While the ad is focused on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the regular iPhone...
That awesome $100 iPad Air gift card offer from Target is for the Doorbuster special. No rain checks, quantities limited. I read that as "good luck getting one".
The target gift card of $75 with the purchase of any iPad mini, seems kinda vague and not specific to model. Might get away with that.
"Any iPad mini" refers to any configuration of the old model. If Target truly meant "any" iPad mini, they would've specified the retina version in the box below BUT THERE IS NOTHING. AND seeing how the iPad mini retina wasn't released NOR had a release date during the time these ads were created and printed, I can guarantee you there will be no sales on the iPad mini retina. In fact, they probably won't even be in stock during Thanksgiving.
