$AAPL announces (as expected) iPhone 17e. Same $599 starting price as the 16e, but with 256GB of storage vs. 128GB on the 16e and better chip. My take: The impact on iPhone sales will be a around a 2% positive for the next couple of quarters (math below). Since Apple already had

Also, the iPhone 17e lacks the N1 networking chip unlike the latest flagship iPhone, iPad Pro, and iPad Air models. The 17e continues to use the binned variant of the A-series chips. #AppleLaunch [image]

i continue to question why the iphone 16 is still being sold. the 17e is better than the 16e (not hard), and i understand $200 can be a lot of money for some folks, but the iphone 17 is such a good deal and the 17e such an obvious neutering to sell to prepaid carriers in bulk.

the latest Ceramic Shield 2 is also notable. One of the best parts of iPhone 17. I still feel it is disingenuous to call it part of the iPhone 17 line when it is very clearly 90% an iPhone 13 but whatever

iPhone 17e! Still based on iPhone 13 but otherwise seems like a decent upgrade over 16e. MagSafe, for starters, as well as double the starting storage! The new Soft Pink is soooo nice [image]

Speaking of keeping the same $599 entry price, the new iPad Air announced today doesn't move the needle. iPad accounts for 7% of revenue. The Air accounts for about half of that, or 3.5% of sales. A modest short-term bump is largely irrelevant. Shares of $AAPL are down 0.25%, …
