  • iPhone 17e imminent launch with four features, Gurman says
    February 8, 2026, 8:56 AM EST. Apple's iPhone 17e is expected to launch imminently, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter. The cheaper model will carry the A19 chip first introduced with the iPhone 17 and will restore MagSafe connectivity. It is also said to include Apple's latest cellular modem-the C1X-and the N1 chip for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Thread connectivity. Reportedly priced at $599, matching the iPhone 16e, the device would be marketed heavily in emerging markets and to enterprises. Gurman notes the plan comes as competition in this segment from Google and Samsung is perceived to be waning, potentially aiding Apple's push for a broader base.
