Apple Teases March 4th Event; Samsung, Sony, and Oil in the News

Apple is set to host a special event in New York City on Wednesday, March 4th at 9AM ET, according to The Verge, sparking speculation about new product announcements. The event, which will also be simultaneously hosted in London and Shanghai, will feature an Apple logo in segmented discs of yellow, green, and blue, hinting at potential product reveals.

The Verge reported that the invitation to the event included the words "You're invited," suggesting a significant product launch. Possible announcements could include new MacBooks, iPads, the iPhone 17e, and new displays, according to the same source.

In other tech news, Samsung has released an advertisement for its upcoming Galaxy S26 launch, confirming rumors of a new display with a built-in privacy mode, as reported by The Verge. Leaked videos show the feature capable of blacking out content from specific apps or parts of the display when viewed at an angle.

Meanwhile, the security camera company Ring's "Search Party" feature, advertised during the Super Bowl, has ignited a surveillance backlash, according to The Verge. The same technology that can find lost dogs can be used to find people, raising privacy concerns.

Also impacting the tech landscape, Sony and Nintendo are reportedly feeling squeezed by RAM shortages due to increasing demand from AI data centers, according to The Verge. This could potentially push back the debut of Sony's next-generation console to 2029.

In a separate development, Michigan is taking on major oil and gas companies in court, accusing them of driving up energy costs by colluding to suppress competition from cleaner technologies like solar power and electric vehicles, according to Ars Technica. The state's approach is different, focusing on anti-competitive behavior rather than deception or misrepresentation of climate change risks. Legal experts suggest this strategy is risky but could be a game changer if the state overcomes initial dismissal attempts.
