Apple’s iPhone 17e Leak Reveals Big Upgrade Without Raising the Price
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17e has appeared in multiple leaks recently, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now shared additional details that support earlier reports about the company’s next affordable smartphone.
A19 Chipset and MagSafe Charging
According to Gurman, the iPhone 17e will be powered by Apple’s A19 chipset. The device is also expected to support MagSafe charging, a feature that was not available on the previous iPhone 16e.
The new model will also include Apple’s latest in-house connectivity components, including the C1X cellular modem and the N1 wireless chip.
Price Expected to Remain Unchanged
Gurman reported that the iPhone 17e is expected to launch at the same $599 price as its predecessor. This suggests Apple plans to introduce hardware upgrades without increasing the cost.
Design and Launch Timeline
The report indicates that the iPhone 17e will keep a design similar to the iPhone 16e. It is also expected to skip the Dynamic Island feature.
The launch of the device is said to be imminent, with a recent leak pointing to a possible debut on February 19.

Designing on Canva Gets Even Easier With ChatGPT
Canva has introduced deeper integration with ChatGPT, allowing users to generate designs that automatically match their brand identity. The update enables users to create branded visuals such as pitch decks and social media posts directly within ChatGPT.
The rollout aims to reduce the need for manual adjustments after generating AI designs, ensuring visuals align with a company’s logos, colors, and fonts from the start.
Automatic Design Consistency
At the center of the integration is Canva’s Brand Kit feature, which stores official brand elements, including logos, fonts, and color palettes. Once configured, ChatGPT can use this information to create designs that follow established branding guidelines automatically.
This means users no longer need to manually adjust visual elements after generating designs, even if they are unfamiliar with brand specifications.
New Tools to Simplify Presentation
Canva also introduced new features designed to streamline the design process within ChatGPT. One of these is the Guided Presentation Builder, which helps users focus on content before converting it into formatted presentation slides.
Another addition is Live Design Preview, which allows users to view and edit Canva designs directly inside ChatGPT without switching between applications.
These features are powered by Canva AI and are available through Canva’s AI hub starting today.
Over 12 Million Designs Made
Canva said its AI tools have already been used to create more than 12 million designs across ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
The rollout follows a similar update for Claude, which recently introduced interactive app support to expand AI functionality.
The integration allows users to move directly from an idea entered into ChatGPT to a completed branded design, reducing the need for separate editing steps.

Apple’s AI Powered Siri is this Month Coming and This is What You are Getting
Apple is preparing to release the first beta version of iOS 26.4 within the next two weeks, according to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
The update is expected to introduce select components of a redesigned Siri powered by Gemini technology.
Beta Release Timeline
According to Gurman, Apple plans to release the first iOS 26.4 beta to developers during the week of February 23, provided there are no delays.
The beta version will allow developers to test early features before the software is made available to a wider audience.
Siri AI Enhancements
The iOS 26.4 beta will include some of the new Siri features, though it will not deliver the full redesign.
The complete chatbot-style Siri overhaul is expected to be introduced later with iOS 27. Apple is reportedly planning to unveil the updated Siri during its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Focus of Future iOS Updates
Beyond Siri improvements, iOS 27 is expected to focus on bug fixes, code optimization, design updates, and overall performance improvements.
These changes are intended to improve system stability and refine the user experience.
