iPhone 17e to Launch Soon with MagSafe and A19 Chip

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its latest iPhone model, the 17e, just over a year after introducing the iPhone 16e. According to sources close to the matter, the new device will feature an upgraded A19 chip, which was previously used in the iPhone 17 lineup, as well as MagSafe charging capabilities and a transition away from Apple’s in-house cellular chips. The iPhone 17e is expected to be pitched aggressively towards emerging markets and enterprises, where Apple sees an opportunity to gain ground against competitors like Samsung and Google Pixel. With most major smartphone manufacturers focusing on the higher end of the market, Apple appears to believe it can carve out a niche for itself with its latest device. One notable aspect of the iPhone 17e is that it will retain its price point at $599, despite rising costs for RAM and storage. This move suggests that Apple is confident in the device’s value proposition and aims to make it an attractive option for consumers in emerging markets where affordability remains a key consideration.
