Apple just announced the iPhone 17e, among other new products, during its March event. With a six‑core A19 chip, a 6.1‑inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, and 256 GB of storage, it’s a significant step up from Apple’s previous entry‑level smartphone. If you preorder at AT&T now, you can get the iPhone 17e for just $6 per month with any Unlimited mobile plan.

The 6.1‑inch display uses Apple’s Super Retina XDR OLED panel to deliver enhanced color, contrast, and detail while streaming video, taking photos, or making video calls. With HDR support, the iPhone 17e handles 4K and 1080p shooting and streaming with ease, and a peak brightness of 1,200 nits ensures good visibility in bright rooms and outdoors.
Built on the refreshed A19 chip, the iPhone 17e offers faster processing for better multitasking and hardware‑accelerated ray tracing for streaming and mobile gaming. It’s available with either 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage.
Photographers can take advantage of the 48 MP Fusion camera system, which provides high‑resolution images and video with built‑in image stabilization. The device supports both MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging, allowing faster top‑ups than the iPhone 16e.
Both new and existing AT&T customers can claim the deal by preordering the iPhone 17e on the AT&T website; the discount is applied automatically as 36 monthly credits to your bill. If you cancel your account or switch from an Unlimited plan before all credits are applied, AT&T may charge you the full remaining retail price.
How I rated this deal
The iPhone 17e is already a fairly affordable smartphone from the brand that put smartphones on the map, and getting one for less than $500 is even better. With as many features as its more premium cousins, you can enjoy all your favorite apps and stay in touch without the matching price tag. This makes it a great choice for an inexpensive upgrade or as a first smartphone for older kids and teens. I gave this deal a 5/5 Editor’s deal rating.
