Apple’s iPhone 17e expected early next year with A19 and Dynamic Island

Apple’s iPhone 16e
Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone lineup is set for an impressive upgrade: Leaks suggest the iPhone 17e, arriving early 2026, will ditch the kludgetastic notch for Dynamic Island and pack the powerful A19 chip—bringing premium perks to more users without breaking the bank.

Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in May that Apple would release an iPhone 17e in the first half of next year as part of a switch to an annual update strategy for its entry-level ‌iPhone‌. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has also reported that an iPhone 17e is coming early next year…
According to Gurman, the new phone will include the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17. The A19 is built on an upgraded 3-nanometer process. It features a 6-core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores. There’s a 5-core GPU, offering performance and efficiency improvements over the A18… The A19’s efficiency improvements bring a significant battery life boost…
According to the leaker known as “Digital Chat Station,” the iPhone 17e will feature a Dynamic Island and a “new design.” For context, the iPhone 16e features a “notch” at the top of the display, similar to the ‌iPhone‌ 13 and ‌iPhone‌ 14.

MacDailyNews Take: We imagine an iPhone 15-like design, but with a single rear camera, likely a 48MP Fusion lens similar to the iPhone 16e:
