Apple shot to the top of the world phone sales after releasing the iPhone 16e this year. People love its fresh design and new features more than its $599 price tag. The major improvements over the older iPhone SE 3 helped Apple become number one in early 2025.
Many expect an iPhone 17e next year, but Apple remains undecided, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The current model became popular because it looked much different from previous versions. A new model might not sell as well if it only has small changes inside with the same outside look. The main upgrade might be a limited version of the A19 chip.
The company could add features like mmWave or MagSafe charging to attract buyers, but nothing has been confirmed about these plans. The success of the current model makes some think Apple should rush a new one, but small updates might not create enough buzz to match current sales numbers.
