Apple fans claim that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze when it comes to the iPhone 17e.<\/p>\n

Apple fans have taken a bite out of iPhone17e hype.<\/p>\n

Tech heads have ripped into Apple\u2019s newly-released iPhone 17e, dubbing the $600 device a \u201crobbery\u201d that looks virtually identical to some of its predecessors.<\/p>\n

Apple quietly released the state-of-the-art phone on March 2, although preorders began on March 4 while the device will be fully available on March 11, the tech firm reported.<\/p>\n

Among notable features, including faster performance and enhanced durability, the iPhone 17e features twice as much storage as the 16E \u2014 256GB versus 128GB \u2014 but for the exact same price of $599.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The iPhone 17e models come in black, white and soft pink.<\/p>\n

This increased capacity is attributed to the A19 chip, which was billed as offering a significant performance boost a compared to its predecessor\u2019s A18. Plus, it comes in soft pink, in addition to the classic black and white options.<\/p>\n

Many Apple-lovers bemoaned the fact that the 17e still uses a cut-out notch to obscure the single-lens camera and microphone rather than the preferred island.<\/p>\n

\u201ciPhone 17e is now official with big ass notch,\u201d lamented one miffed commenter.<\/p>\n

\"Some<\/p>\n

Some critics claimed that the new release looked no different than the iPhone 5 (pictured). eranicle \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some astute tech-sperts observed that the iPhone 17e\u2019s display only boasts a 60Hz refresh rate \u2013 well short of the current 120 HZ standard.<\/p>\n

However, one of the most infuriating aspects, per users, was that this so-called great value iteration isn\u2019t that much cheaper than the iPhone 17.<\/p>\n

\u201c17 base model ticks all the boxes,\u201d argued one critic. \u201cWith only [a] 200 dollar…<\/p>\n
