#Apple announces its next 'Apple Experience' event.
The event will take place in Apple stores in New York, Shanghai and London on March 4.
Unlike the traditional Apple keynotes, which take place in Apple Park and are live-streamed, Apple Experience events are small scale events where journalists and content creators get to experience upcoming Apple products. The last Apple Experience marked the announcement of the Apple Creator Studio bundle.
Meanwhile, this Apple Experience will reportedly be where the iPhone 17e and a new budget MacBook are announced. Notably, the invite - often a hint at what's to come - is multi-colored, and rumors indicate that the upcoming entry level MacBook will also have multiple color options.

#Meta's Horizon Worlds metaverse is getting separated from Quest.
Meta's flagship metaverse platform - as a reminder, the company rebranded to Meta to focus on developing the metaverse - is becoming "almost exclusively mobile". This change started in 2025, and now, it's the company's main focus. Horizon Worlds will also be explicitly separated from the Quest VR platform. This comes after layoffs in the metaverse division and an announcement that the default home screen on Quest headsets will be replaced with the Navigator view.
However, Meta isn't giving up on Quest - in fact, while VR hasn't grown as quickly as Meta had hoped, it believes in VR "as a critical technology on the path to the next computing platform". To that end, the company is focused on supporting third party developers and has future hardware on the roadmap.
