iPhone 16e Vs iPhone 17: What We Know So Far About Apple’s Next Smartphone
While iPhone 16e has kept Apple users hooked with the A18 chip, and other key features, leaks suggest iPhone 17 will raise the bar, offering even more to look forward to.

iPhone 17 is one of the most-awaited phones in the market. While we have to wait till September for launch, Apple introduced iPhone 16e in February.
While iPhone 16e, powered by the latest A18 chip, is integrated with certain advanced features of Apple Intelligence, it is said that the iPhone 17 will take things even further.
Many users have found iPhone 16e as a highly appealing option as the model comes with a 6-core CPU, and it’s up to 80% faster than the A13 Bionic. It's a solid choice for those who are still impressed by the iPhone 16 lineup. But with iPhone 17, Apple will introduce features like A19 chipset and a huge camera-island, which is already sparking a lot of interest among the fans.
There are also speculations that the iPhone 17 will sport a 6.1-inch OLED display, 8GB of RAM, and impressive camera setups. It will also have a 60Hz refresh rate for smooth performance.
