iPhone 17e Specs And Display Details Leaked: Launching Soon?

Last Updated:January 16, 2026, 16:28 IST

The iPhone 17e launch is expected in early 2026 and more details about the device have been revealed in a post.

Apple’s start to 2026 is expected to include multiple new products and this could have the iPhone 17e model from the company. And a new leak has given us a better idea about its launch in the market and what it could offer. We have previously heard about the iPhone 17e coming out in February this year and the new tip reaffirms that belief which means we could be just a few weeks away from seeing the iPhone 16e successor officially from the brand.

The launch timeline doesn’t feel out of place because the iPhone 17e mass production stage is almost here, at least going by another report that came out this month.

iPhone 17e Specs Leak: What It Says

The new leak comes via reliable tipster Digital Chat Station who has shared the details via a post on social media platform Weibo. He claims the iPhone 17e will debut in the first half of the year (2026), and the main focus of this device will be the display. This also means we might see the same single camera setup offered with the 17e model once again.

The tipster points out that the iPhone 17e will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display but only with 60Hz refresh rate. This is still hard to accept but most buyers will be just happy seeing the Apple badge and willing to pay for the experience in general. Having said that, the display is tipped to get the Dynamic Island like the premium versions which should offset the lack of a better quality screen.

He also points out that the iPhone 17e will not be lacking in performance with the use of an A19 chipset, probably with 12GB RAM to make AI features run smoothly. This could easily make the iPhone 17e as powerful as the Android flagships that cost well over Rs 1 lakh in the market. The post also refers to the support of Face ID for biometric security like all the models since iPhone X.

Apple launched the iPhone 16e for Rs 59,900 in India for the 128GB base model. Looking at the prices of phones launched in the last few months, we could see the iPhone 17e priced around Rs 65,000 while keeping it in the same range for the global markets.
