The iPhone 17e will have the same design as the iPhone 16e, but with three key upgrades, according to the Japanese blog Mac Otakara.

The report says the three key upgrades are: an A19 processor (up from an A18 in the iPhone 16e); C1X modem (up from the C1 in the iPhone 18e), and an N1 chip that supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The iPhone 17e is expected to arrive early this year. Here are some other rumors about the upcoming smartphone:

° The upcoming iPhone 17e will have a Dynamic Island instead of a notch at the top of the screen,

° It will retain a 6.1-inch OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a front-facing 12-megapixel camera, Face ID, and a rear 48-megapixel camera.
