If the 17e had that chip, wouldn't it have Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6? It has neither of those.
replyFrom the press release:
reply> iPhone 17e also features C1X, the latest-generation cellular modem designed by Apple
But the 17e iPhone seems to lack the Apple developed N1 chip that provides Wifi 7 + Bluetooth 6. So presumably they're using off the shelf components for Wifi and Bluetooth in the 17e.
The modem chip (the C series) and the N series are two different chipsets.
replyFor example, the 16e has the C1 modem but the standard Broadcom (or whoever) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chipset.
