Another 30% say they are looking for a new iPhone but are aiming for a more premium model. The 17e does have its fans, but it is a niche device \u2013 let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n<p>Only 10% of voters are ready to buy a 17e outright and around half of that would join them if they like what they see in reviews. Speaking of, we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17e_in_for_review-news-71910.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">review unit at the office<\/a> and already posted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gsmarenateam\/video\/7616024268333141270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">unboxing video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is plenty to dislike on the iPhone 17e \u2013 even though it\u2019s the most basic model, it still costs $600. That gets you 256GB of storage to be fair, but having a chunky notch on the display (the 60Hz display no less) makes the phone feel cheaper than it actually is.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gsmarena_001.png\" alt=\"Weekly poll results: the iPhone 17e looks too cheap to cost $600\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Having a single camera on the back and not even Apple\u2019s most capable wide camera is another downer. Some commenters say that this is a phone for grandma or for a young kid \u2013 other commenters counter that it\u2019s too expensive to give to a 12-year-old. They may be better served by a cheap-o Android phone (RCS mostly cured the fear of the green bubble, right?).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue facing the iPhone 17e right now is that for $200 more you can get an iPhone 17, which is better in every respect \u2013 now $200 is a lot of cash, but if you are already looking to pay $600, then paying $800 for the better phone doesn\u2019t feel out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>You could also pick up an older iPhone 16, but not everyone is happy with that option \u2013 especially since Apple doesn\u2019t even sell 256GB iPhone 16 units anymore and the 128GB base storage is too limiting.<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 17e<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In last week\u2019s poll about the Apple iPhone 17e, some 30% of voters say that they are not&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":526128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-526127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/526128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
