Apple May Drop iPhone 17e Due to Demand Concerns

Despite the success of the budget iPhone 16e, Apple is considering canceling or postponing the release of its successor, the iPhone 17e. According to authoritative analyst Mark Gurman, the company doubts the commercial viability of the new generation, since the expected changes in the iPhone 17e will not be as significant compared to the current version.

According to experts, the iPhone 16e has become a noticeable step forward compared to previous models of the SE line, which ensured its good sales. However, the lack of such revolutionary improvements in the next version may reduce consumer interest. Apple has not yet made a final decision on the fate of the iPhone 17e, continuing to analyze the market prospects of the device.

If the information is confirmed, this will be the first time the company refuses a planned update to its budget line of smartphones. The final fate of the iPhone 17e should become clear in the coming months as Apple prepares for its traditional autumn presentation.
