Abstract generation in progress

IT Home, February 6 — According to foreign media Mac Otakara, the Apple iPad 12 and iPhone 17e are expected to be released simultaneously. The appearance of the devices will be largely similar to the iPad 11, but they will be upgraded with the A18 chip to support Apple Smart features. This also means the RAM will be increased from 6GB in the previous generation to 8GB. The device is expected to be named “11-inch iPad (A18).”

As for the iPhone 17e, there were previous rumors that the new model would feature the “Dynamic Island,” but Mac Otakara states this is not true. The iPhone 17e will continue to use the same notch design as the 16e. It is believed that the 17e mainly introduces the A19 chip, C1X baseband, N1 chip, and MagSafe magnetic attachment, with other features roughly the same as the iPhone 16e.
