iPhone17e will either maintain its original price or come equipped with an A19 chip and an upgraded Dynamic Island feature.

On January 23, the news source yeux1122 released a blog post revealing that despite the rising costs of NAND flash and DRAM memory leading to price pressure on high-end models, the price of the iPhone 17e is not only expected to remain the same as the iPhone 16e, but may even see a decrease. The source pointed out that the iPhone 17e will heavily rely on the mature hardware of the iPhone 16e, with the most crucial being Apple's self-developed C1 5G baseband. Compared to purchasing baseband chips from Qualcomm, this self-developed baseband, which debuted on the iPhone 16e, is expected to save approximately $10 in costs per device.
