iPhone 17e launch is still far away but it seems Apple is already planning for the next ‘E’ iPhone model and some of the details are here.
Apple is bringing the iPhone 17e launch in 2026 and the new leak gives some details
iPhone 16e launch this year replaced the ageing iPhone SE lineup and gave Apple more ammunition to get people to spend more money for its new toys. The next iPhone e launch is expected after the iPhone 17 series is announced in the next few weeks. And new reports suggest the iPhone 17e will also have a similar launch timeline as its predecessor, which means it will come in early 2026.
But even though there is a lot of time for the iPhone 17e to roll out, leaks have started coming in for the new model which hints at a much similar device to the first iPhone e-series model in the market.
iPhone 17e Launch Tipped For Next Year: What The Leaks Reveal
The leaked details about the iPhone 17e sourced from China in a new report hints at incremental hardware upgrades but most of the other aspects will be the same. The iPhone 17e display is likely to get 60Hz refresh rate once again. It will also have the same camera setup but hopefully improved sensors will be offered.
Having said that, the report claims the iPhone 17e will get a new design which could make it look more like the iPhone 16 rather than the iPhone 14 model with its single camera module.
Apple will offer the new A19 chipset with the iPhone 17e like the premium variant, which will easily give it a big power boost and comparable with the 2026 Android flagships, at least with its performance. We are hoping to see more than one camera on the iPhone 17e and maybe a battery unit that is bigger and faster to charge than the current ones that you get.
It is hardly surprising to see the iPhone 16e struggle since its launch. In fact a recent industry report said Apple is able to sell the older iPhone 15 in India but not the iPhone 16E. It said people have not been appealed by the single camera at the back and the lack of functional Apple AI features that could tempt them into splurging on the new model.
It is clear that India as a market views brand value with brands like Apple but specs are equally critical to match with their spending.
