Background

Apple has announced a product launch event for February 19th, 2025. The most anticipated announcement is a new iPhone SE, which would be the fourth generation of Apple's budget iPhone line. Current rumors suggest significant design changes from previous SE models.

Resolution Criteria

Each option will resolve independently based on official Apple announcements during the February 19th event:

• New iPhone SE or similar: Resolves YES if Apple announces any new iPhone model, regardless of name

• Multiple new devices: Resolves YES if Apple announces more than one new hardware product

• Face ID: Resolves YES if a new iPhone SE (or similarly positioned device) is announced with Face ID capability

• USB-C: Resolves YES if any newly announced iPhone includes a USB-C port

• 5G modem: Resolves YES if Apple announces a device featuring their own in-house designed 5G modem

Markets will resolve based on official Apple announcements during the event, not pre-event rumors or post-event discoveries. If the event is cancelled or postponed, all markets resolve N/A.

Considerations

• Apple occasionally pre-announces products months before release - these still count for resolution

• Products announced via press release on the same day as the event count for resolution

• The event timing is unusual for Apple, as they typically don't hold major product launches in February

• While multiple products are rumored, Apple sometimes announces products individually rather than grouping them together
