Display upgrade of iPhone 17e
According to the Financial Express report, the biggest highlight of the iPhone 17e could be the A19 processor, which is also expected to come in the main iPhone 17 series. If this is true, then users are likely to get smooth performance and longer software support in everyday tasks like social media, streaming and gaming.
The phone is expected to have a 6.1-inch OLED display, which will provide better color and brightness compared to the old LCD screen. Another major change could be the addition of Dynamic Island, which will replace the old notch design. With this, the look of the phone will be closer to the modern and premium models of Apple.
Camera and charging features in iPhone 17e

According to reports, Apple can also bring MagSafe charging in the ‘e’ series. This means users will be able to use magnetic chargers and accessories, which were earlier limited to only high-end iPhones.
