"And tech fans don't have long to wait, with one Apple expert predicting that the iPhone 17e will be launched 'imminently'. Don't expect this upgrade to be nothing more than a facelift for the iPhone 16e - as Apple is rumoured to have packed in some top-quality new hardware. The iPhone 17e is expected to have the same super-fast A19 chip as the flagship iPhone 17 and long-awaited features like MagSafe wireless charging."
"Most importantly, Apple is predicted to keep the pricing at the same level it was for last year's iPhone 16e. That means the iPhone 17e could cost £599 for a 128GB variant, £699 for 256GB, and £899 for the most expensive 512GB option. According to Bloomberg's Apple analyst Mark Gurman, the iPhone 17e will have a simple appeal; customers will get more features than an iPhone 16e for the same cost."
"Besides the rumoured A19 chip, it has also been suggested that the new phone will get Apple's latest C1X cellular chip and the N1 wireless chip. The most exciting potential upgrade for many fans might be the inclusion of MagSafe charging. The current iPhone 16e only supports Qi wireless charging at 7.5W, but the new iPhone 17e might be compatible with Apple's latest MagSafe accessories. That could offer speeds up to 25W, enabling much faster wireless charging for the budget smartphone."
Analysts predict an imminent launch of the iPhone 17e as a successor to the budget-friendly iPhone 16e. The iPhone 17e is expected to include the flagship A19 chip and possibly Apple's C1X cellular chip plus the N1 wireless chip. The phone may add long-awaited MagSafe compatibility, moving from 7.5W Qi wireless charging to potential MagSafe speeds up to 25W. Predicted pricing would mirror last year's 16e at £599 for 128GB, £699 for 256GB, and £899 for 512GB. Apple remains tight-lipped while industry leaks offer divided details.
