iPhone 17e Could Feature Dynamic IslandApple's upcoming
iPhone 17e may feature the
Dynamic Island, according to a known online leaker.
The leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" shared the information on Weibo in the comments of a
post detailing that Apple's apparent plan to equip next year's
iPhone 18 Pro models with a
variable aperture lens.
The ‌Dynamic Island‌ is a pill-shaped interactive area at the top of the screen that displays ongoing activities, incorporating the camera and other front-facing sensors. It was introduced in place of the "notch" with the ‌iPhone‌ 14 Pro and ‌iPhone‌ 14 Pro Max and expanded to the ‌iPhone‌ 15 and ‌iPhone‌ 15 Plus a year later. It has yet to be present on any entry-level iPhones.
The leaker added that despite the presence of the ‌Dynamic Island‌, the ‌iPhone‌ 17e will retain a 60Hz OLED display. This would mean the device essentially shares the same panel as the 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 15 and
iPhone 16, which seems believable as Apple's entry level devices largely re-use slightly older technology from other products.
The leaker corroborated reports that the device will launch in the first half of 2026, probably around a year after the launch of the
iPhone 16e in February. It is likely to feature the A19 chip, with few other enhancements.<div class="linkback">Tag:
