JAKARTA - After Apple replaces the iPhone SE line with the iPhone 16e, a big question arises: will Apple abandon SE's erratic update schedule and replace it with an annual update starting from the iPhone 17e?
According to a leak known to have an accurate track record, the answer is yes, and now he claims that the iPhone 17e development process is very advanced.
The name 'SE' (Special Edition) previously gave Apple the flexibility to release their saving version without following the annual cycle. Evidently, the first iPhone SE was present in 2016, followed by the second version four years later (2020), and the third version two years later (2022).
However, the use of the name iPhone 16e this year signals that Apple is now directing its cheap' line to its annual release pattern. Leaker named Fixed focus digital has revealed this name since last February and said that Apple does plan to make the line e an annual product.
IPhone 17e Production Almost Started
The same leaker now states that Apple has started designing production lines for the iPhone 17e and the device will soon enter the trial production stage.
The iPhone 17e production line arrangement is being designed. That answers the question: Yes, the iPhone 17e will be coming next year, and is now nearing the trial production stage.

Produksi uji coba atau new product introduction dilakukan oleh Foxconn untuk menghasilkan batch kecil perangkat. Tujuannya adalah menguji proses produksi, mencari potensi masalah, dan memperpuri proses sebelum masuk produksi mass.
Although the evidence for the presence of the iPhone 17e is getting stronger, there is no guarantee that Apple will release the e model every year. Apple often maintains the old model as a cheap option without updating it every year, as they did on the iPhone 11 and SE before.
In addition, Apple does not hesitate to stop the line that is not selling well. For example, the mini iPhone is stopped, and the Plus version is rumored to be following next year. If the iPhone 16e and 17e do not reach the sales target, Apple could cancel this annual plan.
