"Apple's most affordable iPhone just got an upgrade, but how does the new iPhone 17e compare to the iPhone 16e? Well, thankfully the price remains the same at $599, which is good news in our current economic climate. An immediate difference you might notice is that one of them now comes in a third color: pink."
"There are a few differences under the hood as well, namely that the iPhone 17e is arriving with the A19 chip and double the storage. We've already seen what's possible with an A19 chip in the standard iPhone 17 - it's not a super exciting upgrade, but it is a boost nonetheless."
"In terms of durability, the iPhone 17e is outfitted with Ceramic Shield 2, which is a glass face that Apple said is three times more scratch-resistant than the iPhone 16e's original Ceramic Shield. Ideally, it'll survive falls to the ground (within reason) and spare you a scratched up display from casual wear and tear."
Apple's new iPhone 17e offers meaningful upgrades over the iPhone 16e while keeping the same $599 price. The device features the A19 chip, which provides a performance boost, and doubles the storage capacity. Design-wise, the iPhone 17e introduces a new pink color option, addressing the lack of color diversity in affordable smartphones. The phone is slightly heavier at 5.96 ounces compared to the previous model's 5.88 ounces, though the difference is negligible. A significant durability improvement comes with Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple claims is three times more scratch-resistant than the original Ceramic Shield, offering better protection against drops and everyday wear.
