Apple iPhone 17e Coming in March: First Time with Dynamic Island and MagSafe! Upgraded with A19

The iPhone 17e will be released in March this year. It will be Apple’s most affordable flagship phone. Although it has performed poorly in the domestic market, it still has good sales in the global market.

The iPhone 17e brings significant upgrades, including many features that were criticized last year.

The screen will be upgraded from the notch screen of the iPhone 16e to a punch-hole screen, supporting interactive functions such as real-time display of activities. It will be aligned with the design of the standard version of the iPhone 17 series, maintaining a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a 60Hz refresh rate, without a high refresh rate.

It features a “downclocked version of the A19” GPU, which has one less GPU core than the standard version.

In addition, one of the most significant upgrades to the iPhone 17e is the first inclusion of a magnetic ring that supports MagSafe chargers, making up for the lack of MagSafe in the iPhone 16e and improving the convenience of charging and accessories.

The baseband is expected to use Apple’s self-developed C1/C1X, and a new 18-megapixel front-facing camera is expected to be added, supporting the “Center Stage” function.

It is expected to maintain the price of $599 for the iPhone 16e, while the price in China will be 4499 yuan, targeting the mid-range market. After the national subsidy, the price will be only 3999 yuan.
