Geekbench 6 benchmarks show the iPhone 17e uses the A19 chip and posts nearly identical multi-core CPU scores to the iPhone 17 (9,241 vs 9,249), but with a 4-core GPU resulting in lower graphics performance (roughly 31k–31.5k Metal scores vs ~37k on the iPhone 17); the 17e adds MagSafe, a second-gen C1X modem, and 256GB base storage, starts at $599, with pre-orders beginning March 4 and the launch on March 11.
Apple’s iPhone 17e adds MagSafe charging, a 256GB base storage, the A19 chip, faster charging, and Ceramic Shield 2, marking a mostly incremental but future‑proof upgrade over the 16e (which remains a solid value if deeply discounted). The 17e is recommended for new buyers or anyone coming from older devices, with pre-orders starting March 4 and availability March 11; the 16e stays viable primarily when discounted enough to close the gap in features like MagSafe and storage.
Apple’s iPhone 17E arrives at $599 as a budget member of the 17 lineup, adding MagSafe and Qi2, the A19 chip, and 256GB base storage. It sports a 6.1-inch 60Hz display, a 48MP main rear camera with a 2x telephoto, and a 12MP front cam, but omits features like Always-On, Dynamic Island, ultrawide/macro capabilities, and faster charging. Battery life is up to roughly 26 hours of video, making it a solid value if you want MagSafe and solid performance without flagship perks; otherwise the higher-end 17, Pro, or Pro Max offer the premium features.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17e, the affordable follow-up to the 16e, during its March 4 event. The 17e would likely retain a 6.1-inch, 60Hz display and a single 48MP rear camera, with rumors on Dynamic Island vs. notch. It should use the A19 chip (potentially downclocked), ~8GB RAM, and gain MagSafe compatibility, plus the new C1X modem; pricing is not expected to change from the $599 starting point.
Rumors from Mac Otakara and Macwelt suggest Apple’s iPhone 17e will reuse the 16e’s notch but gain an A19 chip, a faster C1X 5G modem, and an N1 chip for Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth/Thread, plus MagSafe charging (20–25W). The iPad 12 is said to resemble the iPad 11 design but upgrade to an A18 chip with 8GB RAM. A Feb. 19 press-release date for the iPhone 17e is floated, with no official pricing disclosed.
Apple is rumored to launch a new budget iPhone 17e in early 2026 featuring the latest A19 chip, a transition from notch to Dynamic Island display, and an upgraded 18MP front camera with Center Stage, offering a more affordable yet advanced iPhone experience.
Apple is innovating its iPhone lineup with the introduction of the A19 chip, which comes in three variants across the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro, marking the first time Apple has released three different A-class chips for its iPhones, with the Pro version offering higher performance and efficiency.
A leak suggests the upcoming budget-friendly iPhone 17e will feature notable upgrades including the Dynamic Island, a new A19 chip, and a design change, making it a more appealing option for cost-conscious consumers, expected to launch in early 2026.
The base model iPhone 17 is now expected to feature the A19 chip, similar to the Air model, but will retain 8GB of RAM instead of the 12GB upgrade seen in Pro models, indicating a potential shift in Apple's hardware strategy for the upcoming release.
