- The iPhone 17e could possibly be caught with a 60Hz display screen
- It may additionally keep on with the identical single-lens digicam system as its predecessor
- Nevertheless, its design and chipset may be upgraded
The iPhone 17 sequence has now landed, however one mannequin bearing that quantity may nonetheless be on the best way, because it’s probably we’ll see an iPhone 17e subsequent yr. Nevertheless, should you’re planning to carry out for Apple’s subsequent mid-range iPhone, you may need to rethink.
In accordance with Apple watcher Mark Gurman, writing in his Energy On e-newsletter for Bloomberg (through Telephone Area), the iPhone 17e gained’t come near matching the bottom mannequin iPhone 17. That’s in distinction to the iPhone 16e, which no less than had the same display screen to the iPhone 16 and the identical chipset.
However with the iPhone 17e you’ll apparently be caught with a 60Hz show, fairly than the 120Hz one the iPhone 17 has. The iPhone 17e will even apparently have the identical 48MP single-lens digicam because the iPhone 16e.
Extra energy and a brand new look

That means, the iPhone 17e is extra clearly a funds mannequin, and the iPhone 17 may stay a greater purchase for individuals who can afford it – and wish so much from their cellphone.
After all, none of that is confirmed simply but, however Mark Gurman has an excellent monitor report for Apple info, so there’s a very good likelihood that is correct, particularly as this matches up with an earlier iPhone 17e leak.
We would not discover out the official specs of the iPhone 17e for some time although, as whereas the iPhone 16e landed again in February, the one launch date leak up to now factors to a Could launch for the iPhone 17e.
