MagSafe is a welcome addition over the iPhone 16e, and while there remain some compromises, such as a 60Hz display, single rear camera, slower charging, and no Camera Control button, they won\u2019t be deal breakers for many. <\/p>\n<p>Price When Reviewed<\/p>\n<p>This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined<\/p>\n<p>Best Pricing Today<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"review-price\" id=\"price-when-reviewed\">Price When Reviewed<\/h3>\n<p>$599<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"review-best-price\" id=\"best-prices-today-apple-iphone-17e\">\n\t\t\tBest Prices Today: Apple iPhone 17e\t\t<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$599\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d be forgiven for looking at the current iPhone range and feeling a little confused. Even if you only consider the models sold by Apple itself, you\u2019re looking at six options now, with the iPhone 17e positioned as the entry point and the iPhone 17 Pro Max at the top of the range. In the middle, there\u2019s the iPhone Air, with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 below, and the iPhone 17 Pro above.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an easy decision, especially if budget isn\u2019t the only consideration. As you\u2019d expect, the entry-level iPhone 17e makes some compromises compared to the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17, but it offers a lot of phone for its sub-\u00a3600 price point.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are Android phones available for similar prices with features such as 120Hz screens, dedicated telephoto cameras, and always-on displays. But if you\u2019re looking for an iPhone and you don\u2019t want to spend more than \u00a3600, the iPhone 17e has the majority of what most&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/article\/3084859\/apple-iphone-17e-review.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPhone 17e Review: The Core Apple Experience and Nothing More https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/article\/3084859\/apple-iphone-17e-review.html Publish Date: 2026-03-11 09:15:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":222334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Apple-iPhone-17e-review-1-1.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69,77,124,80],"class_list":["post-222333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios","tag-ios-26","tag-iphone-16","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222333"}],"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=222333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222335,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222333\/revisions\/222335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
