iPhone 17e to have a downgraded A19 chip and an improved screen

The iPhone 17e is coming soon, expected to be unveiled at some point this coming spring. A new rumor out of China today ‘confirms’ (as much as any rumor can) the fact that it will boast a 6.1-inch screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and the Dynamic Island feature (which also implies a hole-punch cutout replacing the iPhone 16e‘s notch), and a downgraded version of the Apple A19 chip that also powers the iPhone 17.

It will of course be the cheapest in the iPhone 17 family. These details have been rumored before, but even though nothing is official, the more rumors agree on stuff like this, the more likely they are to be accurate. However, it’s worth noting that some past rumors did say that the 17e would have the exact same screen as its predecessor, notch included, just with thinner bezels.

The iPhone 17e is also expected to support MagSafe accessories, unlike the iPhone 16e. Mass production for the iPhone 17e should commence in the coming weeks.
