iPhone 17e anticipated in the early part of 2026.
In spite of various speculations suggesting that Apple might significantly enhance its upcoming “e” iPhone models, the analyst holds that the company is likely to retain the same design as the previous version, albeit with upgrades including the A19 chip, 8GB of RAM, and a new 18MP front-facing camera. Apple is projected to keep the 48MP sensor for the primary lens along with the notch design. What stands out in Pu’s forecast is that Apple will continue using the C1 chip, rather than incorporating the upgraded C1X 5G modem that debuted with the iPhone Air. The analyst also mentions the arrival of budget-friendly iPad and Mac models, in addition to a revised timeline for the iPhone 18 series.
