It still includes a USB-C port, a notched display rather than a Dynamic Island, an Action Button, a 6.1-inch 60 Hz OLED display without ProMotion or always-on support, and a single 48 megapixel rear camera (which is still capable of taking 2x telephoto images by cropping a 24 MP chunk out of the middle of the image sensor).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem with the iPhone 17e is still that it\u2019s just $200 cheaper than the iPhone 17, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2025\/09\/review-apples-injects-just-the-right-amount-of-pro-into-the-regular-iphone-17\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an exceptionally strong version<\/a> of Apple\u2019s default phone. That $200 gets you a better main camera, a wide-angle lens, a slightly larger 6.3-inch display with ProMotion support and a Dynamic Island, and marginally faster graphics performance. But the 17e\u2019s 256GB storage upgrade and the new chip do make it more appealing than the $699 iPhone 16, which also lacks a ProMotion display and only has 128GB of storage.<\/p>\n<p>The new phone is part of a string of announcements that Apple is planning in the run-up to a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/apple\/2026\/02\/get-ready-for-new-macs-and-ipads-apple-announces-special-experience-on-march-4\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">special experience<\/a>\u201d event on Wednesday morning. The company also announced a new iPad Air with an M4 chip today and is also widely expected to debut a new low-end iPad and a new MacBook that\u2019s substantially cheaper than the MacBook Air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The iPhone 17e will support MagSafe, which was notably absent from the 16e.
