Apple unveiled the latest version of its budget-friendly iPhone line, the iPhone 17e, which retails for $599 and will be available on March 11.
The smartphone comes with the A19 chip that’s found in the base iPhone 17. The base model comes with 256 GB of storage, which is twice the entry storage from the iPhone 16e.
One of the most notable changes from the previous budget iPhone is the addition of MagSafe and Qi2, which supports wireless charging up to 15 W. As for the camera, the iPhone 17e features the same 48-megapixel camera as the iPhone 16e.
The iPhone 17e also features C1X, Apple’s latest-generation cellular modem, which is up to 2x faster than the C1 in iPhone 16e, according to Apple. The tech giant says C1X uses 30% less energy than the modem in an iPhone 16 Pro, which allows for better battery life.
