Apple’s new affordable iPhone is rumored to launch later this month, with one leak pointing to a February 19 announcement. While nothing has been confirmed, YouTuber Jon Prosser has shared what appears to be the first look at the upcoming iPhone 17e.
The video shared by the YouTuber showcases the iPhone 17e with a Dynamic Island and MagSafe charging support.
However, most recent leaks and reports have suggested that Apple won’t be including the Dynamic Island on the upcoming iPhone. Instead, it’s likely to stick to the notch present on the iPhone 16e.
In terms of design, the new iPhone 17e is likely to look the same as the older model, but Apple could offer new color options. It is reported to come with the A19 SoC and a single 48MP rear camera.
According to the tipster, if the iPhone 17e gets the Dynamic Island, it will likely also include the new 18MP square selfie sensor.
The phone is rumored to retain the 6.1-inch 60Hz display and the 4,000mAh battery from the 16e. However, it is said to get the new C1X modem and the N1 wireless network chipset for improved connectivity.
Prosser also notes that the iPhone 17e will likely start at $599 for the 128GB option. If the rumors about the launch are true, we should officially know all about the phone next week.
