"The iPhone 17e has double the base storage of the iPhone 16e at 256GB. It also has MagSafe support with Qi2 wireless charging speeds of up to 15W, double that of the iPhone 16e. The 6.1-inch Super Retina display has Ceramic Shield 2. According to Apple, this provides '3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and reduced glare.'"
"The company slotted its C1X cellular modem into the iPhone 17e as well. It says this is up to two times faster than the C1 that was in the iPhone 16e. The device has the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17, so it supports Apple Intelligence AI tools, and it runs iOS 26."
"In addition, the iPhone 17e has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, as well as the promise of 'all-day battery life.' It also supports satellite-powered features including Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages and Find My."
Apple began its major announcement week by revealing the iPhone 17e entry-level model with significant upgrades. The device doubles base storage to 256GB and features MagSafe with 15W Qi2 wireless charging, double the previous generation's speed. The 6.1-inch Super Retina display includes Ceramic Shield 2 for improved scratch resistance and reduced glare. The C1X cellular modem delivers up to twice the speed of its predecessor. The iPhone 17e retains the 48MP Fusion camera and A19 chip supporting Apple Intelligence, maintains IP68 water and dust resistance, and offers all-day battery life with satellite-powered emergency features. Pre-orders begin March 4 at the same $599 starting price.
