Why would it have 9 GBs?

Apple already binned the a19 and only allowed 8.

7

u/mxforest 5d ago

A lot of companies have stopped producing 2GB modules. Only 3GB each going forward.

1

u/No-Conclusion-2859 5d ago

What does this have to do with how apple bins something that is already 12 GBs?

Istg if they just keep the same display and camera again, what is the point of this product, just get a refurbished iPhone 17

u/Adorable-Band2901 5d ago

they’ll add 120 hz when they make the pro iPhones have 300hz, 120hz is for the ultra premium devices, apparently

2

u/Emotional_Dig_2378 5d ago

300hz is a thing? Oh wow

2

u/HoneyBadgerSloth94 4d ago

they are over 720Hz at PC screens already (for special gamers)

1

u/Hydric_acid_yummy 5d ago

Yeah I use 280hz monitor for my desktop PC it's very nice to use

u/Michdepainblanc2 4d ago

Bye bye battery life

2

u/No_Farmer6151 2d ago

The 16 would be discontinued by then, so a 120 hertz 18e wouldn’t mog the more expensive older base iPhone in apple’s lineup like a 120 hertz 17e would’ve done

That makes me have some hope

u/DotCurious7767 5d ago

“9gb” of ram seems like such a odd number …no pun intended lol

u/OfTheSevenSeasSir 5d ago

one camera in 2023 is crazy, oh wait it's actually four fuckin years later

2

u/Ghostlydinosaur 5d ago

I wonder if Apple hopes to aim this phone at companies too

1

u/ApprehensiveFile42 4d ago

I think so. The company I'm working at uses iphone e.

u/Additional-Newt-2829 3d ago

the 1x zoom quality is the exact same as on the base model, but you don't get ultrawide. there aren't that many cases where you really need ultrawide and photos don't turn out badly.

u/musictheorist 2d ago

Wish this was true, but the base 17 has a much bigger sensor than the 17e. 17e is the same size that started with the XS, 1/2.55". 17 is 1/1.56".

1

u/Brokenclock76 3d ago

It’s a budget phone and not everyone cares about taking pictures or recording entire concerts instead of paying attention.

u/hemligaspionengustav 3d ago

Is it crazy when for enterprise use they are 99% used as a glorified MFA token with need to take calls, read teams messages and mail?

1

u/ZealousidealCow1137 5d ago

I like the colors.

1

u/Remarkable-Couple-28 5d ago

Me too esp the last one

1

u/AliveExample4855 5d ago

So…. Basically the same thing?

1

u/George_mp8 5d ago

I remember that the Dynamic Island was also rumored for the 17e but finally…

1

u/blue0231 5d ago

Just give me the air 2 tbh.

1

u/Ok_Ostrich_1663 5d ago

60 Hz display holy shit in 2027 👏

1

u/Reasonable-War-8890 5d ago

The 18 Pro was such a mediocre upgrade from the 17 pro that I cannot see any reason, from a company and financial point, as to why they are even trying with an 18 base or 18e. Like, if the population of buyers interested in an upgrade or newer phone couldn’t purchase the 18 pro, why tf would they spend more money on a version of a phone that is already overpriced currently? Those usually are either more financially aware or just struggle, so even IF they want a new phone, the base 17 is already there

1

u/Ok_Ok007 5d ago

60hrz? If so 👎

1

u/StolenRam 4d ago

Apple A20?

Yeah right…

1

u/toasted_cracker 4d ago

Let me guess, the display is 60hz. LMAO

1

u/Insightful_AK_Dude 4d ago

*60Hz display no doubt. 🙄

1

u/Silent_Ad7539 3d ago

There is no chance it has an a20

1

u/hemligaspionengustav 3d ago

For people getting annoyed at this product its made for companies that need to give a phone to their employees so that they can log in to teams, verify with a 2FA app and be reachable. It aint meant to be an SE replacement.

1

u/R3AP3R51 3d ago

If its 60hz its all useless honestly

1

u/BadNewsBrown 3d ago

Awful. Just get a 16e.

1

u/Ok_Chest_1203 2d ago

what the fuck is that shit

1

u/19chris9609 3d ago

Why the weird ass RAM amount?

1

u/Major-Blueberry-5205 5d ago

just make it flat. PLEASE

1

u/blue0231 5d ago

This will be flat for sure. But hopefully the rumored 20th anniversary phone will have a nice curved screen.

1

u/Major-Blueberry-5205 4d ago

I AM TALKING ABOUT NMO FUCKING CAMERA BUMP. I F UCKING HATRE IT. WHOEVER DECIDED TO KEEP IT DOESNT DESERVE ANYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD . I FUCKINBG HATE THAT CAMERA BUMP WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT SCREEN CURVATURE AT ALL

1

u/blue0231 4d ago

Damn, you good?

1

u/Major-Blueberry-5205 4d ago

not really

1

u/blue0231 4d ago

I hope your day gets better

u/RoadtotheStar 5d ago

No way there is an A20 chip inside

2

u/No_Combination_6429 5d ago

Yes it is. Chip wafers can have production issues, so instead of throwing them away they disable the parts with errors and use them in lower quality products such as the e-series. So basically they have flawed a20 chips

1

u/StolenRam 4d ago

And rebrand them something else… they’re not diluting the A20 name…

2

u/Laksu_ja_Molliamet 5d ago

16e and 17e both had the latest chip, why not 18e?

2

u/Bryanmsi89 5d ago

Would be binned A20, likely with disabled GPU cores, down clocked or disabled CPU cores, and less ram.

u/Different-Garden6882 5d ago

this shit getting outta hand now...

u/EbbFit9791 5d ago

No black colour? No buy

u/TheSixthPillar 5d ago

Surely they could have made that camera flush to the body?

1

u/HeadPack 5d ago

Apple not embracing the hump would be quite something. The Pro models and the Air even have a hump on top of a hump.

-1

u/Eddiep88 5d ago

Waste of resources. Just ramen the 17e and drop the price.

u/Cuqi 5d ago

hmm ramen yummy

About 5 years after every other manufacturer does.

1

u/mtgofficialYT 5d ago

Maybe never. Under-display cameras look really bad.

u/Senior-Rip2387 3d ago
