Apple to unveil newest product today: Here's what we know about the launch
Tim Cook, the company's chief executive officer, announced last week on social media it plans to roll out a new product, but did not disclose further details.
However, multiple reports have suggested Apple is planning to unveil its latest budget iPhone mode, which would mark the fourth generation of the lower priced iPhone SE model.
It has been three years since the Cupertino, California-based company released its latest iPhone SE.
The new iPhone will likely be priced higher than the one released in 2022 ($429), Reuters reported.
"If the SE 4 offers meaningful upgrades in design, performance, and AI features, it could reinvigorate its market appeal and strengthen Apple's position across different price segments," Counterpoint Research senior analyst Varun Mishra told Reuters.
Launched in September, the latest iPhone 16 starts at $799 for the base model.
Cook said Apple's newest product would be unveiled on Wednesday, Feb. 19, but a specific time has not been announced.

California man turns to Dave Ramsey after failed business deal cost him $2M — where Ramsey says he went wrong
Dave Ramsey had some tough love for a young caller to his show who confessed to some 'bad business practices.' Jeremy from Los Angeles is only 23 years old, but he has been running his own business for nearly two years. He told Ramsey and co-host John Delony that he took on a larger-than-normal job without asking for any payments up front. He poured $2.1 million into the project — expecting a $2.4 million payout — but the client filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, leaving Jeremy in the lurch and $280,000 in debt. How did The Ramsey Show host react? Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'There's no amount of business that's worth putting everything on the line for it,' Ramsey said in a clip posted Aug. 4. An emotional Jeremy wondered whether he should file for bankruptcy himself or take on more debt to continue working jobs and try digging himself out of this hole. Ramsey offered him a third option. Getting back on track Jeremy admitted he was willing to take lower margin jobs and foot the bill for his early clients because he didn't have a reputation to lean on as a new business owner. 'You've done amazing things for somebody your age, even though you stepped in a big old bear trap and it ripped your leg off,' Ramsey responded. He advised Jeremy to learn from this harsh lesson, and find a way to get his business back on track — without going further into debt. Instead of 'being the bank' for these clients, Ramsey said, he needs to learn how to work out payment schedules so that clients are paying for materials and the cost of labor as the project progresses. This minimizes the risk if the client is eventually unable to pay. 'The industry standard is you don't do that crap, because you go bankrupt when they go bankrupt,' Ramsey said of Jeremy's previous method. 'That's the problem, you had bad business practices.' Delony pointed out that Jeremy's reputation should be less of a concern since he'd completed around 30 jobs at this point. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. 'You can't find 29 other people to say, 'this guy's good?'' Delony asked. 'Your reputation is much better than you think.' Jeremy ended the call with Ramsey and Delony encouraging him to keep working towards paying down his debt while ensuring his future clients pay for the work as the job progresses. Deciding on bankruptcy In general, there are three types of bankruptcy available for businesses. Chapter 7, or 'liquidation bankruptcy,' involves selling off assets to pay creditors. It can be filed by individuals or businesses. Filing for Chapter 7 may require a 'means test,' which is used to ensure the debtor meets the financial criteria. In Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the business is reorganized to create a repayment plan, and is allowed to remain operational in order to pay the installments. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is typically for individuals but can include sole proprietors. It allows individuals to restructure their debts into a payment plan, usually in a three-to-five year term, agreed on by creditors. To file for bankruptcy, a business must petition the court and pay the filing fees. From the point of the filing, creditors can no longer take legal action against the filer, and the court will determine the legitimacy of their case. The filer will meet with a trustee and creditors in order to testify to their claims. While bankruptcy can have its benefits, including providing relief to small business owners or a chance to regain profitability, it doesn't exactly provide a clean slate. Filing for bankruptcy can tank an owner's credit score — severely affecting their ability to borrow — and put their assets in jeopardy. Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcies will stay on your credit report for 10 years, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will do so for seven years. It's often a good idea to explore all options available before resorting to bankruptcy. Working with an experienced accountant or financial advisor can help you understand the different paths that can be taken and help decide which is most suitable for you. They can also help you create a plan to get back on track as quickly as possible. 'I think you need to believe in you again. You did a lot of things smart, and you did two things dumb,' Ramsey told Jeremy. 'One was you believed that debt was your way up, and two was you bet the farm on one company.'

Finally, Notion now works without an internet connection
For years, one of the most annoying issues with using Notion was that you couldn't get much done offline because of its cloud-first architecture. The company has finally solved that problem, adding support for an offline mode to its apps. To absolutely nobody's surprise, the company on Tuesday said in a post announcing the update that this is one of the most requested features from users. So users can now finally view, edit and create notes without an internet connection across Notion's desktop and mobile apps. The apps also let one download pages for offline access. Once you are back online, the app will sync any changes you've made to documents. However, some blocks like embeds, forms, or buttons won't work without an internet connection. And if you're subscribed to Notion's Plus, Business or Enterprise plans, the app will automatically download your recently viewed and favorite pages. Users can turn off automatic downloads or manage downloads through a new 'Offline' menu in the settings panel. Ivan Zhao, the company's CEO, said in a thread on X that Notion couldn't ship the feature all these years because the app uses a complex database to store different blocks, and the company had to build a conflict resolution mechanism to manage instances where multiple people make changes to a document while they're offline.

AI agent startup TinyFish raises $47 million in ICONIQ-led round
(Reuters) -AI startup TinyFish has raised $47 million in a Series A funding round led by ICONIQ Capital to scale its platform for building and deploying AI-powered web agents, the company told Reuters. The round included participation from USVP, MongoDB Ventures and Sheryl Sandberg's Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners. The company plans to use the capital to invest in products and expand its go-to-market operations. Founded in 2024, TinyFish is building web-based agents to automate repetitive and complex online tasks for enterprises. Its technology simulates human-like browsing to perform actions and gather data at a massive scale. The company is initially focusing on the retail and travel sectors. Its primary use cases include dynamic price surveillance, where AI bots track prices, promotions, shipping times, and inventory levels across competitor websites in real-time. These tasks were traditionally handled by large, offshore teams performing manual data entry or by custom software scripts that would often break when a website's design changed. Palo Alto, California-based TinyFish has a team of about 25 people. The new funding provides TinyFish with a runway of three to four years, according to CEO Sudheesh Nair. The AI agent space is experiencing a gold rush, with a flurry of offerings on autonomous software. Big tech companies and startups are racing to capitalize on the shift from static large language models (LLMs) to dynamic agents capable of performing complex, multi-step tasks. TinyFish says its technology could help solve the problem of efficiently and reliably gathering critical data from the dynamic and messy environment of the internet. "If you can turn the internet into analyzable data, it will fundamentally give businesses advantages that others don't have," Nair told Reuters, adding that the goal is to help businesses "make more money," not just save on costs. Its system uses advanced AI models for reasoning and exploration, and then codifies that knowledge for high-speed, deterministic execution at scale, according to Nair. Amit Agarwal, partner at ICONIQ, said the decision to invest was driven by TinyFish's success with early pilot customers, including tech giant Google. "They had operationalized it, productionized it at a very large scale for two large-scale customers who have all the development resources in-house to build these types of things themselves," Agarwal said.
