That was the general consensus when Apple released the $600 iPhone 16e a year ago. Fast forward to today, and the new iPhone 17e is a far better value for the same price.<\/p>\n<p>Apple could have added MagSafe to the iPhone 17e and called it a day, but it decided to double the starting storage (256GB), throw in an A19 chip that\u2019s almost as powerful as the one in the $800 iPhone 17, include a faster C1X for 5G connectivity, and give the glass screen Ceramic Shield 2 to increase scratch resistance.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking, \u201cThat\u2019s it?\u201d then the iPhone 17e is probably not for you. The iPhone 17e is what you get if you\u2019re on a tighter budget and you simply don\u2019t need all the bells and whistles in the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"typo-sofia-h5 sm:typo-sofia-h4\">iPhone 17e <\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-3 typo-space-body-1\">The iPhone 17e is everything that the iPhone 16e should have been.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      Starts with double the storage\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      Fast A19 chip performance\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      Includes MagSafe support\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      Ceramic Shield 2 front glass\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      Still only one rear camera\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      No next-gen Photography Styles\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"px-5 sm:px-10 py-3 sm:py-5 border-b-[0.5px] last:border-b-0 typo-space-body-2 sm:typo-space-body-1\">\n                      No Dual Capture<br \/>\n         &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/iphone-17e-review-so-much-more-bang-for-your-buck-2000730716\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Much More Bang for Your Buck https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/iphone-17e-review-so-much-more-bang-for-your-buck-2000730716 Publish Date: 2026-03-09 10:20:00 Source Domain: gizmodo.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Apple-iPhone-17e-7-1200x675.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-221580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221580"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221580"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221582,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221580\/revisions\/221582"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
