Exciting news for tech lovers! Apple launches iPhone 17e

ISLAMABAD:  In a groundbreaking move, the tech giant Apple has launched the first-ever affordable iPhone 17e for tech lovers in 2026.

According to the details, the iPhone 17e looks similar to last year’s iPhone 16e. This phone has the A19 processor of the iPhone 17 inside, but the screen is slightly smaller, which is equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED display.

Instead of the dynamic island bar for the selfie camera on the front of the phone, the old notch design has been retained, in which the selfie camera is hidden.

According to the company, the performance of the A19 processor will be much faster, while AI processing has been improved.

Ceramic Shield 2 has been used to protect the phone, and the company claims that the screen will be more protected even if it falls.

The iPhone 17e has a single 48-megapixel camera on the back that can record 4K video. According to Apple, portrait photography has been further improved, while a 12-megapixel camera has been given on the front that supports Face ID.

The phone also has MagSafe support, which was not present in the iPhone 16e, so that fast wireless charging is possible.
