Apple Annual Shareholders Meeting: February 25 Date and Details
Apple has announced that its annual shareholders meeting is set to take place on February 25 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. If you’re a shareholder as of January 2, 2025, you can attend, vote, and even submit questions during the meeting. Just make sure to log in to Apple’s virtual meeting website 15 minutes beforehand, and have your control number handy from the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.
During the meeting, shareholders will have the opportunity to re-elect the Board of Directors, approve executive compensation, and ratify Ernst & Young LLP as Apple’s public accounting firm. There will also be votes on shareholder proposals. While these meetings usually don’t reveal much about Apple’s future plans – last year’s tidbits about artificial intelligence aside – they’re still an important opportunity for shareholders to participate in the company’s governance.
In other news, rumors are already buzzing about the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max set to launch later this year. One key change speculated for these models is the use of more aluminum in their frames, a departure from previous models. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting release.
Also on the horizon are new Apple TV and HomePod mini models, both expected to launch this year with a combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip from Apple. This chip is anticipated to support Wi-Fi 6E, potentially revolutionizing connectivity for these devices.
And for those AirPods Pro users who’ve been hearing a mysterious chime from their charging case – fear not! It’s a feature, not a glitch. Apple added the feature to ensure that the microphones and speakers are performing correctly, offering peace of mind to AirPods Pro owners.
Lastly, Apple’s annual “Back to School” promotion is back in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Korea. Higher-education students and staff in these countries can snag free AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation with the purchase of select Apple products. Act fast, as this offer is only available until March 13.
That’s all for now, folks. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from the tech world!
