Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman reports that Apple is gearing up to release the iPhone 17e, its next-generation entry-level model, nearly a year following the debut of the iPhone 16e. This latest offering will be equipped with the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17 series, support MagSafe magnetic wireless charging—a feature highly favored by Apple users for its convenience and ease of use—and incorporate Apple's proprietary cellular baseband chip. Despite the escalating costs of crucial components like memory and storage, Apple remains committed to maintaining the iPhone 17e's starting price at $599, demonstrating its dedication to offering value to consumers.
