    Description:
    The iPhone 17e could have an overhauled design, ditch the notch, and gain a new chipset but some of its predecessor's issues might remain.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================The iPhone 17e will reportedly have a Dynamic Island rather than a notch It could also have a new chipset and a new design However, many of its other specs might remain unchanged

    The iPhone 17e sounds like it might be quite a big step up from the iPhone
    16e , with the key new addition possibly being the Dynamic Island.

    This is according to reputable leaker Digital Chat Station (via GSMArena ), and it would mean no more notch, bringing the front design in line with the latest iPhones.

    The same source also claims the iPhone 17e will have an A19 chipset, which would likely mean the same chipset as the iPhone 17 , but says it will once again have a 6.1-inch 60Hz screen, a single 48MP rear camera, and a 12MP front-facing camera with Face ID.

    Thats unfortunate, given that plenty of mid-range Android phones including key iPhone 'e' rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE and Google Pixel 9a
    have multiple rear cameras and 120Hz screens. So this might still be a somewhat compromised handset and a tough sell, even at a price thats likely
    to be a fair bit lower than other iPhone 17 models. An intriguing new design The iPhone 17e might look something like this iPhone 17 Air leak (Image credit: Majin Bu)

    Intriguingly though, this source also appears to claim (going by machine translation) that the iPhone 17e will get a third upgrade in the form of a
    new design. Its not clear what they mean by that though the move to a
    Dynamic Island would certainly be a change, but this seems to be a separate point theyre making, suggesting other changes.

    We're expecting the rest of the iPhone 17 series to adopt a new Pixel-like camera design though, so it's possible that's what's being referred to. In which case, this could look a lot like the iPhone 17 Air which is also expected to have just one rear camera from the back.

    Alternatively, they could be referring to the addition of a Camera Control button, which is present on the main iPhone 16 line but absent on the iPhone 16e, but thats just speculation.

    We may not find out for sure what the iPhone 17e features for a while, with the only release date leak so far pointing to May . But if you dont overly care about having multiple rear cameras or a high refresh rate, then the iPhone 17e might be worth the wait.
