Apple has officially unveiled its latest smartphone, the iPhone 17e, following last year’s iPhone 16e. Priced at £599, the iPhone 17e is more affordable than the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro, offering 256GB of storage as standard, double the capacity of its predecessor.
The new iPhone 17e boasts enhanced performance with the A19 chip, a significant upgrade over the A18 processor in the 16e. It also features the latest C1X cellular modem for faster speeds, promising improved download and streaming experiences on the go.
Equipped with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display protected by Ceramic Shield glass, the iPhone 17e delivers sharp visuals with reduced glare. The inclusion of MagSafe enables faster wireless charging and easy attachment of compatible accessories to the phone.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 48MP Fusion camera on the iPhone 17e, offering advanced sensor technology for enhanced zoom capabilities and 4K video recording with Dolby Vision support.
Safety remains a key focus, with features like Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection for automatic emergency service contact in case of a severe car accident.
Available in black, white, and a new soft pink finish, the iPhone 17e is positioned as a valuable option within the iPhone 17 family, combining powerful performance, enhanced durability, and a smarter camera system.
