Pie in the sky long shot for any relationship between the two announcements but it’s always fun to speculate!

From MacRumors:

In a social media post today, Apple CEO Tim Cook teased an upcoming "launch" of some kind scheduled for Wednesday, February 19.

"Get ready to meet the newest member of the family," he said, with an #AppleLaunch hashtag.

The post includes a short video with an animated Apple logo inside a circle.

Most people are speculating the new iPhone SE 4.

Way to keep the dream alive though for the diehards. ?

Yeah, I think the circle denotes the single camera that the iPhone SE or iPhone 16E will have.

Although it would be cool if they announced Apple Watch functionality with the Rivian, like Tesla has, or does Rivian have that already?

Haha. I think Rivian’s done their best to block Apple’s takeover of their UI. Provide Apple Music and Apple TV+ services, but block CarPlay, because they want to curate and control their own experience.

Apple buying Rivian is more likely than carplay.

Edit:

Maybe Apple is putting Carplay on Lewis Hamilton's car.

Apple buying Rivian and installing 60,000 500kw chargers in 3 years while RIvian preps the release of the 800V R1T with 750 miles of solid state battery technology.

Rivian stock goes from $12ish to $400.

That's my dream.

CarPlay will be available in Rivians. But only in the delivery vans.
