iPhone 17e to rectify one of its predecessor’s main shortcomings | Infinium-tech
Apple launched the iPhone 16e in February as its new cheapest device, but the low price brought with it a number of compromises, including the lack of MagSafe. Wireless charging is built-in, but without magnets, Android-style.
If you’re surprised by the decision to drop this feature, there’s some good news for the future. The iPhone 17e, expected in early 2026, will bring MagSafe support, according to a new report.
iPhone 16E
The iPhone 17e is also said to have Apple’s second-generation C1X cellular modem, which made its debut in the iPhone Air this September (the iPhone 16e has the older C1).
Previous rumors have told us that the iPhone 17e will have the same screen as its predecessor, but will have thinner bezels. The iPhone 17e is reportedly getting the same 18MP selfie camera that is present in all other members of the iPhone 17 family. It should be powered by the A19 chip featured in the iPhone 17, and will likely retain the iPhone 16e’s single 48MP rear camera.
