Key Updates
- Apple’s just‑announced iPhone 17e comes with doubled base storage compared to last year’s predecessor while remaining at a $599 starting price.
- The iPhone 17e now includes 256 GB of base storage, up from 128 GB in the iPhone 16e. The change is especially notable given the recent surge in DDR memory prices due to the AI server build‑out.
- The more affordable iPhone in Apple’s lineup also adds MagSafe and Qi2 for fast wireless charging up to 15 W, versus the 7.5 W Qi charging on the iPhone 16e. MagSafe chargers, stands, cases, wallets, and camera accessories snap easily to the back of the iPhone 17e, providing seamless alignment.
