Here's when the iPhone 17e is coming

Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e, its replacement for the SE line, back in February, and since then there have been quite a few conflicting reports on whether the "e" model would be refreshed annually or not. The SE iPhones took a few years between generations, but the renaming did imply a now-annual release for Apple's cheapest handset.

And today a new report from Korea seemingly confirms this, saying there will be an iPhone 17e, and it's coming next spring. It will have the exact same display panel as its predecessor, so if there are any notable upgrades, they will be elsewhere.

BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display have all supplied panels for the iPhone 16e, with BOE having the biggest chunk of the pie, and all three companies are expected to reprise their roles for the upcoming iPhone 17e.

Apple allegedly expects to sell around 20 million iPhone 16e units this year, which is in line with sales of previous SE models.
