The affordable iPhone 17e was earlier rumored to launch in Spring this year, but a new report now suggests the device could arrive later this month. Meanwhile, a separate report claims the phone will bring three key upgrades.
According to Macwelt, citing industry sources, the iPhone 17e will be unveiled via a press release on February 19. This wouldn’t be surprising, as Apple also announced the iPhone 16e in February last year.

The report adds that the upcoming iPhone will support MagSafe, offering wireless charging speeds of up to 25W. It is also said to retain the notch from the iPhone 16e.
In a separate report, Mac Otakara, again citing reliable sources, claims that the iPhone 17e will retain a design similar to its predecessor. The report also states that the new iPhone will not feature a Dynamic Island, contrary to earlier rumors.
As per the publication, the iPhone 17e will be powered by the A19 chipset. It will also get the second-gen Apple C1X modem and the N1 wireless network chip. Other specs of the phone are said to be similar to the iPhone 16e.
