Overview
- Leaker Digital Chat Station says the iPhone 17e is entering mass production, with multiple outlets expecting a first‑half 2026 debut that could arrive within weeks.
- The 17e is reported to adopt the Dynamic Island and MagSafe while keeping a 6.1‑inch 60Hz OLED and an A19 chip that some reports say may be downclocked.
- Analyst Jeff Pu forecasts iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and a Fold to share an A20 Pro built on TSMC’s 2nm process, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and Apple’s C2 modem.
- Pu’s note points to a fall 2026 launch for the Pro models and Fold, with non‑Pro iPhone 18 variants expected later as Apple staggers releases.
- Under‑display Face ID for iPhone 18 Pro remains unconfirmed, with some leaks describing testing and Pu instead expecting a smaller Dynamic Island this cycle.
