Rumors suggest that Apple’s affordable iPhone 17e is set to launch later this month, with a potential announcement date of February 19. Although not officially confirmed, YouTuber Jon Prosser has provided a first look at the anticipated device.
The leaked video displays the iPhone 17e featuring Dynamic Island technology and MagSafe charging support.
However, recent leaks suggest that Apple may not include the Dynamic Island in this model, instead opting to maintain the notch seen on the iPhone 16e.
Design-wise, the iPhone 17e is expected to resemble its predecessor but could come in new color options. It is anticipated to feature the A19 SoC and a single 48MP rear camera.
If the iPhone 17e incorporates Dynamic Island, it might also include an upgraded 18MP square selfie sensor.
Reports indicate that the new model will retain the 6.1-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 4,000mAh battery from the 16e. It is also expected to include the new C1X modem and N1 wireless network chipset for enhanced connectivity.
According to Prosser, the iPhone 17e is likely to start at $599 for the 128GB model. If these rumors hold true, further details about the phone are expected to be revealed next week.
