Overview
- Libero.pe reports Apple is planning a March 4 debut for the iPhone 17e with media events in New York, London and Shanghai, though Apple has not confirmed the date.
- Mark Gurman and Spanish coverage indicate the 17e is imminent at roughly €709 in Spain (about $599 in the U.S.), positioning it as Apple’s most affordable new model.
- Leaks suggest the 17e will use Apple’s A19 chip, add MagSafe charging, and incorporate Apple connectivity silicon (C1X modem with N1 for Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0), with some reports also pointing to Dynamic Island and a 60 Hz display.
- Analyst notes cited by Libero.pe say Apple is working to keep iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max prices near $1,099 and $1,199 and to swap in an in‑house C2 5G modem and N2 wireless chip built by TSMC on a 4 nm process.
- Further iPhone 18 rumors include an A20 Pro processor on a 2 nm node, a smaller Dynamic Island via under‑panel Face ID, variable‑aperture cameras, and a possible split rollout with Pro models in fall 2026 and the base model in spring 2027, as reported by Forbes.
