Apple today announced the iPhone 17e, featuring the A19 chip, MagSafe connectivity, and more.
The iPhone 17e contains the A19 chip from the iPhone 17. Apple pointed out that this makes it up to 2x faster than the iPhone 11.
It also contains Apple’s latest-generation C1X modem from the iPhone Air, delivery up to 2x faster cellular performance than the iPhone 16e. Battery life remains at 26 hours.
The front of the device now features Ceramic Shield 2, offering 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation along with added anti-reflective properties for reduced glare.
Addressing a noticeable omission from its predecessor, the iPhone 17e now features MagSafe, allowing it to work with snap-on magnetic accessories.
With MagSafe, the iPhone 17e supports wireless charging up to 15W with 20W adapter or higher. The iPhone 17e only supported 7.5W wireless charging. The iPhone 17e also supports faster wired charging, achieving up to 50% in around 30 minutes.
The rear camera now features an improved Portrait mode image pipeline, with support for next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control. The device can now recognize people, dogs, and cats, and automatically saves depth information, allowing users to turn photos into beautiful portraits with background blur after capture and to adjust the focus point in the Photos app.
The iPhone 17e starts with 256GB of storage, but with the same $599 price as the 128GB iPhone 16e. It is available in black, white, and soft pink. Pre-orders start on Wednesday, March 4, with availability starting a week later on Wednesday, March 11.
