The iPhone 17e retains much of the design language of the iPhone 16e, which was itself inspired by the iPhone 14. It features a 6.1-inch display with the same size and resolution as its predecessor, making sure a familiar user experience.

Apple’s next iPhone launch is expected to be one of its cheapest. With the new iPhone 17e, a follow up to last years first generation iPhone 16e – the company will add three important upgrades to the device, though one thing won’t be changing: the price.

Leaked iPhone 17e renders reveal a Dynamic Island design, A19 chip, and MagSafe support as Apple prepares to take on the Google Pixel 10a.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17e, set for release in February 2026, continues the company’s strategy of offering a more affordable entry point into its ecosystem. Priced at $599, the device is positioned as an incremental upgrade to the iPhone 16e.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17e on February 19, according to recent leaks and insights from YouTuber Jon Prosser. The device may retain a design similar to the iPhone 16e but could feature a lighter body and the Dynamic Island with an upgraded 18-megapixel selfie camera.

Japanese blog Mac Otakara today shared some alleged details about the iPhone 17e and iPad 12, which are both expected to be released within the next few months. In 2025, Apple discontinued the iPhone SE and released a new entry-level iPhone 16e.

Until now it’s not been clear whether Apple intended to use the same binned-chip strategy with the iPhone 17e. But a new video from the controversial YouTuber Jon Prosser makes the confident prediction (confidence being one of Prosser’s principal characteristics) that it will.

It looks like Apple's finally bringing MagSafe to its cheap iPhone — but really this should have happened with iPhone 16e.
