iPhone 17e Brings Multiple Upgrades

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:37:27 GMT

Apple this week is launching the iPhone 17e, a replacement for last year's iPhone 16e. Apple previously offered an "iPhone SE", refreshed every few years, but has now switched to annual release cycle for its more-affordable iPhone model. Apple is keeping the $599 price while upgrading many of the specs. The chip is upgraded to an A19 chip like the iPhone 17 (though with four GPU cores instead of five). The base level of storage is also doubled to 256 GB. The wireless charging is also upgraded to the newer MagSafe/Qi2 standard at up to 15W. The 5G cellular modem is updated to Apple's new C1X chip, which Apple claims is up to 2x faster than last year's C1. Like the 16e, the iPhone 17e sports a 48 megapixel camera, satellite service, IP68 dust and water rating, and Face ID biometric security. The iPhone 17e will be available in black, white, and soft pink, shipping next Wednesday, March 11th.
