iPhone 17e tipped to launch in Apple’s March 4 event

Apple has sent out invites for an event on March 4, 2026 held in New York, London, and Shanghai. Set for 9 AM ET, the event will allegedly see the unveiling of the iPhone 17e.

The event invite circulating online sees Apple’s signature colorful gradient logo. It also asks people to join them for a ‘special Apple Experience’ in London.

At the time of writing, Apple has yet to confirm the iPhone 17e. Still, it’s slated to be a budget-friendly alternative succeeding the iPhone 16e as an affordable flagship alternative.

Pricing is tipped to stay at $599 with the device powered by the A19 chip. This converts to roughly P39,990, which matches its predecessor’s entry point.

Aside from the iPhone rumors, the event will also see new MacBooks with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. There’s also a new iPad Air refresh, an updated base iPad, and budget-friendly MacBook running on an A18 chip.

Apple’s also expected to introduce a new Apple TV and an updated HomePod mini on March 4. This will be the company’s first major hardware event for 2026 with simultaneous presentations across three major cities.

We’ll provide full details on all rumored products once the event goes live.
