Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch the iPhone 17e on February 19, 2026, expanding its lineup with a more affordable yet still premium option. Positioned below the flagship models, the iPhone 17e is expected to balance performance, design, and Apple’s ecosystem at a starting price of $599.
Specifications and Features (Rumored)
According to early leaks and reports, the iPhone 17e may come with a familiar yet refined feature set:
- 6.1-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate
- Powered by Apple’s new A19 chipset
- Apple C1X modem, potentially improving efficiency and connectivity
- Dynamic Island support
- 48MP rear camera for detailed photography
- 18MP front camera with Centre Stage support
- 8GB RAM for smoother multitasking
- MagSafe wireless charging support
- Aluminium body for a lightweight, premium feel
Design and Color Options
Apple is expected to offer the iPhone 17e in three classic yet stylish colour options: Black, White/Silver and Purple.
Price Expectations
With a rumoured starting price of $599, the iPhone 17e is likely to sit just above the budget segment while remaining more accessible than Apple’s Pro models. In markets like India and Bangladesh, pricing could cross ₹50,000 or ৳75,000 after taxes and duties.
What to Expect Overall
If these specifications hold true, the Apple iPhone 17e could be an attractive option for users who want modern Apple features like the A19 chip, Dynamic Island, and a high-resolution camera without paying flagship-level prices.
As always, these details are based on leaks and expectations, and official confirmation will arrive closer to launch. Stay tuned for more updates as Apple’s February event approaches.
