Overview

• Times Now cites unverified reports suggesting an iPhone 17e could arrive in February 2026, with an India price around Rs 64,900.
• Rumoured iPhone 17e specs include a single 48MP rear camera with OIS, an 18MP front sensor, an A19 chip, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a 4005mAh battery with 7.5W wireless charging.
• Display chatter for the 17e points to a 6.1‑inch panel, with some speculation that ProMotion may be dropped to control costs.
• Early iPhone 18 leaks point to a new A20 processor on a 2nm process, a similar 6.3‑inch 120Hz OLED, a smaller Dynamic Island and a pressure‑only Camera Control button.
• Analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo is reported as expecting a staggered rollout, with Pro models, a foldable iPhone and iPhone Air 2 in September 2026, and the base iPhone 18 and a possible 18e later, perhaps early 2027; pricing in India is tipped to start near Rs 82,900 for the base model.
