Apple is gearing up for what could be one of its busiest product weeks this year. Tim Cook has stirred excitement after teasing a \u201cbig week ahead\u201d on X, suggesting that major announcements may arrive even before the company\u2019s special experience event scheduled for March 4. <\/p>\n

The Cupertino-based tech giant will host simultaneous events in New York, London and Shanghai at 9 am ET (7:30 pm IST). But with Cook\u2019s post hinting at early reveals, anticipation is already building among Apple fans worldwide. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a closer look at five products that are widely expected to debut. <\/p>\n

A new low-cost MacBook <\/p>\n

Apple is reportedly preparing its most affordable MacBook yet, targeting a price of around $599 (approximately Rs 54,000) in the US. The device is expected to feature a 12.9-inch LCD display and could arrive in vibrant colour options such as yellow, green and pink \u2014 shades that subtly match the 3D glass Apple logo shown in the event invite. <\/p>\n

In a surprising move, this model may use the A18 Pro chip \u2014 the same processor found in the iPhone 16 Pro \u2014 instead of Apple\u2019s M-series silicon. This strategy could help keep costs down while still delivering performance that rivals, or potentially surpasses, the original M1 MacBook. <\/p>\n

iPhone 17e: The next budget favourite? <\/p>\n

After the success of the iPhone 16e, Apple appears ready to introduce its successor, the iPhone 17e. <\/p>\n

The device is expected to be powered by the A19 chipset, aligning it more closely with the standard iPhone 17. One notable upgrade could be the addition of MagSafe support \u2014 a feature missing from its predecessor. <\/p>\n

However, reports suggest the iPhone 17e may retain a 60Hz display and a notch design instead of adopting the Dynamic Island. Pricing details remain unconfirmed, but Apple may stick close to last year\u2019s launch price. For reference, the iPhone 16e debuted in India at Rs 59,900. <\/p>\n

MacBook Pro gets new muscle <\/p>\n

Apple refreshed its MacBook Pro lineup with the M5 chip in October. Now,…<\/p>\n
