On November 10th, iGEEKPHONE reported that a blogger has drawn an appearance rendering of the iPhone 17e based on leaked information. This is an updated version of the iPhone 16e.
Compared with the iPhone 16e, the most significant change of the iPhone 17e is the screen. This device will be equipped with the same 6.1-inch Dynamic Island screen as the iPhone 16. Starting from the iPhone 17e, the notch screen officially withdrew from Apple phones. However, the iPhone 17e still maintains a standard refresh rate of 60Hz and does not have a high refresh rate screen.
With the Dynamic Island screen, the iPhone 17e will have the same UI interaction functions as the iPhone 17. For instance, information such as media playback and takeout progress will be directly displayed in the camera hole area, which not only ingeniously hides the hole but also makes the information display simpler and clearer.
As the successor to the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 17e will also be equipped with the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17. It is expected to continue the cost-performance positioning of its predecessor, with the starting price expected to remain at 4,499 yuan.
Public information shows that the iPhone16e was officially launched in the first half of this year, with a starting price of 4,499 yuan. This device has performed well in overseas markets. By the end of June 2025, the global cumulative sales of the iPhone16e within five months of its launch reached 7.15 million units, surpassing the iPhone16 Plus during the same period.
