The first Apple devices Launching in 2026 – not counting Second generation AirTag First released at the end of January, it’s the next release from The Price Is Right iPhone: iPhone 17e. The company announced the phone via an online press release, ahead of a “special Apple Experience” in New York City on Wednesday.
While the iPhone 16e last year It was widely criticized Due to its questionable value, he traded in the iPhone “SE” models from last year and upped them The price ranges from $429 to $599– The latest model in the series has some notable features that were missing in its predecessor, such as Apple features MagSafe technology and Dynamic island.

E for effort
Apple stuck with the same 6.1-inch OLED display as the iPhone 16e, right down to the same old-school design. This means that you will not get the elegant look of Dynamic islandwhich also acts as a display for live notifications. Fortunately, if you’re worried about durability, this iPhone has the same Ceramic Shield 2 front glass protecting the screen as its more expensive siblings, giving it a good boost over the previous generation.
Apple did no Upgrade your screen with ProMotion Refresh rate technologybecause it’s stuck at 60Hz. This capability is the number of times the screen is updated with images – the sooner the better, as your screen will appear smoother, with interactions feeling smoother. It’s something the company introduced in the iPhone Pro models, and will finally be enabled in all of 2025 iPhone 17 rangebut you’ll have to upgrade to get the luxury. It’s a shame, as is the case with most Budget Android phones Offering 120 Hz as standard, even devices such as As cheap as $200. This also means that the iPhone 17e does not have the option to enable the always-on display.
Arguably the best upgrade is the addition of MagSafe, the magnetic ring that’s been built into the back of flagship iPhones since iPhone 12. It’s confusing that Apple didn’t include it with the iPhone 16e despite there being a healthy accessory market that would have made the iPhone 16e a little more versatile. While the 16e still has basic wireless charging, with the iPhone 17e you can take advantage of faster 15W magnetic wireless charging (plus access to… MagSafe accessories).
This iPhone is powered by the A19 chipset, which appeared first on iPhone 17although there is a lower graphics core, so graphics performance is a small step below. This is in line with what Apple did with the iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 Who came before. Apple hasn’t shared RAM details yet, but the iPhone 17e will likely have 8GB of RAM like its predecessor, while the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup has 12GB.
There are not many improvements in the camera (still no camera control button). The iPhone 17e uses the same 48-megapixel main camera as the iPhone 16e, which means if you want an ultra-wide or zoom camera, you’ll need to upgrade to the newer version. iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro. If you were hoping this iPhone would get the new 18MP square selfie camera from the iPhone 17, you’ll be disappointed; It’s the same 12MP shooter as before.
One good news is that the iPhone 17e has a C1X modem from iPhone Air. This 5G modem is twice as fast as the Apple-designed C1 modem that launched with the iPhone 16e, and is claimed to be more power efficient than Qualcomm’s modems inside the iPhone 17 series. It also gets the N1 networking chip, which Apple launched in the iPhone 17 models; This includes Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 7and Topic networksallowing the smartphone to access the latest connectivity standards.
