Apple is at it again! After launching the iPhone 16e as a cheaper option, now the iPhone 17e is on the horizon, and it might become a regular part of Apple’s lineup. Yes, you read that right — Apple plans to make us buy a cheaper model again, but with just enough upgrades to make us think it’s the real deal.
iPhone 17e – The New Cheap Star
According to the latest reports, the iPhone 17e is expected to arrive next spring. It will be powered by the new A18 chip, while the pricier iPhone 17 series models will get the even more powerful A19. The design? It will stay the same as the iPhone 16e, featuring a single 48 MP camera and Face ID. Forget about the dynamic island — that’s not coming to this model yet.
Why Is Apple Doing This?
Apple has tried cheaper models before, like the iPhone 5c and iPhone SE, but now it looks like this will become the norm. Why? Because people want Apple but don’t want to pay full price. Apple knows this and uses the chance to sell us something that looks like a full-fledged iPhone but with a few compromises.
Colors and Models – A Visual Game
While we wait for the iPhone 17e, rumors about the colors of the iPhone 17 Pro models are flying around. Black, gray, silver, dark blue, and even orange! Apple clearly wants to keep us guessing and distract us with colors while actually preparing another model that will be “good enough” to buy but not perfect.
When to Expect the iPhone 17 Series?
If you thought you’d wait a long time, think again. Apple plans to unveil the iPhone 17 series in early September, likely between the 8th and 10th. This has become a tradition, and this year we expect four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
What Does This Tell Us?
Apple is slowly but surely pushing us to buy more models with different prices and specs so everyone can find something for themselves — or at least think so. But ask yourself — do we really need another iPhone? Or is this just another trick to squeeze money out of us?
The Bottom Line
Apple is a master at creating desire for new devices, and the iPhone 17e is just another move in their game. A cheaper model with a new chip, the same design, and without some of the “fancy” features — sounds like the perfect bait for those who don’t want to pay much but want to stay trendy.
If you’re ready to dive into this Apple adventure or just want to laugh at it all, feel free to drop a comment. Who knows, maybe you have the best conspiracy theory about the iPhone 17e! Just don’t forget to bring your sense of humor — you’ll need it.
