iPhone 17E leak recommended plan for annual update

Rumors about the production of the iPhone 17E suggest that Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone could be a regular part of its product cycle progression.

In February, the question about some sporadic launch of Apple on the iPhone SE was that in February this year, the iPhone 16e (the more affordable model Apple is the more affordable model). The first three iPhone SES were launched in March 2016, 2020 and 2022, respectively, so it is roughly the same as this year’s product cycle.

Here’s the wrinkle: Because this year’s device is called the iPhone 16e (rather than the iPhone SE 4), Apple followers speculate whether the “E” model will now sync with the regular iPhone released every year.

This is indeed the case, according to the credible leaker reported by 9to5mac. Sources of Chinese social media apps shared in iPhone 17E are in progress. “There is still 17e next year, almost in trial stage,” the source wrote.

So, according to the 9to5MAC, according to the leak, Apple is using the iPhone 17E and is in the small-scale production phase of Foxconn, which takes place before mass production. At the very least, this means Apple is planning a continuous release of iPhone “E” models, which could mean the company will continue to release new budget models every year.

Often, Apple will naturally drop models for generations on the market. So the new iPhone 17E doesn’t necessarily mean Apple will eliminate the old models. This may also mean that Apple is trying different iPhone products to see what resonates with consumers, just like the iPhone Mini (RIP).
