Apple iPhone 17e specifications and features

The Apple iPhone 17e is said to retain the 6.1-inch OLED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, but the addition of the dynamic island will make it a worthy upgrade, the leaks added.

The device may get a bigger 4,005 mAh battery, a jump from the iPhone 16e. Yet another possible jump could be MagSafe charging with speeds up to 25W.
