Apple’s 2026 product lineup got leaked, suggesting that the iPhone 17e launch is now imminent, alongside a slew of other products scheduled for this year. The pricing of the upcoming iPhone 17e has also been tipped which is both good and bad news.
As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 17e launch is imminent, where in his report he said, “The new iPhone 17e, which replaces the 16e from a year ago, is due imminently.” Alongside, Gurman said that the device will be getting the A19 chip from the iPhone 17 series along with support for MagSafe charging. Moreover, it will feature Apple’s in-house cellular and wireless chips.
Along with the iPhone 17e launch information, Gurman says that the device will cost the same as last year’s 16e in the US at least, which is $599 (approx Rs 54,200). While the upgrades are welcome at the same price, the iPhone 16e still lacked some basics for that price tag, such as no dual rear cameras, no dynamic island, a 60Hz Refresh Rate screen, and quite a small battery with slow charging. While Gurman only tipped the mentioned upgrades for the iPhone 17e, it suggests that the rest of the device remains identical in terms of hardware and design which is disappointing.
Next, Gurman reiterated what he stated back in November last year in terms of what’s coming from Apple this year. This includes a much more powerful baseline iPad with the A18 chip to allow support for Apple Intelligence which “will be a big part of the marketing for this product.”

Apple also has several Macs coming shortly, including new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros and the MacBook Air with an M5 processor. Then there will be upgraded Mac Studio desktops coming shortly after the spring Mac refresh. The upgraded Studio Display is also coming which will look similar to the current one. “New Mac minis are on the road map for this year as well.”
Apple is also preparing to launch a new low-cost MacBook in the first half of this year which will have a “screen under 13 inches and powered by an iPhone-class chip.” It will serve as a competitor to the lower end Windows laptops and Chromebooks and will be a “compelling entry point for switchers to the Mac ecosystem and – like the new iPad and iPhone 17e – should serve as an enticing product in both enterprise and emerging markets.”
