Apple is poised to introduce the iPhone 17e, following the iPhone 16e launched nearly a year ago. The anticipated entry-level model is expected to retain the same price of $600 and will feature the A19 chip, alongside MagSafe charging and Apple's C1 cellular chip, according to a report by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.
Despite challenges in the RAM supply chain, Apple appears to have secured a favorable long-term agreement with Samsung, ensuring that the iPhone 17e remains competitively priced. The company aims to promote this new model vigorously in emerging markets, especially as competitors like Google and Samsung shift their focus toward the premium segment.
In addition to the iPhone 17e, Apple is reportedly planning to unveil a new iPad, iPad Air, and updated MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models. The entry-level iPad will likely be equipped with the A18 chip, while the iPad Air is expected to feature an M4 chip and an OLED display. These products are projected to launch by early March.
