00:02So, the first look of the most affordable iPhone 17e is here, and it's coming from
00:07none other than the most reliable Apple leaker, Jon Prosser.
00:11As you can see in these renders, the rear design of the iPhone 17, he looks exactly
00:16like the iPhone 16e with a single camera along with an LED flashlight at the top left corner.
00:22So, you know changes there, Dot, but the front is getting a meaningful redesign by replacing
00:27the old notch design with a dynamic island.
00:30The display size, however, remains the same at 6.1", and sadly the display is still capped
00:37at 60Hz refresh rate, which could remain one of its compromises.
00:41The smartphone will be built around an aluminum frame, and it's being said that Apple is reusing
00:46the iPhone 16e's mold for the iPhone 17e, which means the physical design and dimensions
00:52will remain the same.
00:53The rear camera will also remain the same, which means a 48-megapixel sensor.
00:58However, the front camera will get an update.
01:01It will now be an 18-megapixel sensor up from a 12-megapixel used in the previous generation.
01:07Powering this device might be a tweaked version of the A19 chip, which will enable support for
01:12Apple intelligence feature.
01:14Connectivity improvements may come via Apple's C1X networking chip, while MagSafe charging is
01:20reportedly making its way to this tier for the first time.
01:24According to Jon Prosser, it may come with a starting price of $599, which is the same
01:29price as the iPhone 16e's.
01:31So you are getting an improved selfie camera, a new A19 chip, Apple intelligence, and MagSafe
01:38charging for the same price.
01:39It is expected to come in color options like black and white with a possible lavender variant
01:45under consideration.
01:47So with the iPhone 17e, Apple is targeting users looking for a relatively accessible entry
01:53into the ecosystem, especially in markets where mid-range competition is strong.
01:58As for the launch, it might be launched sooner than usual, possibly through a press announcement
02:03later this month.
