iPhone 17e vs iPhone 16: The value showdown in Apple’s budget lineup

Apple’s new iPhone 17e sits below the iPhone 16 in price while delivering a newer A19 chip and solid battery life, but it sacrifices features like Dynamic Island, Ultra Wide camera, and newer connectivity. The iPhone 17e starts at $599 and offers more storage, whereas the iPhone 16 starts at $699 and brings a brighter display, broader camera options, and full feature set (Wi‑Fi 7, Thread, mmWave). The choice boils down to budget and value (17e) versus a more complete feature/camera package (16).

Choosing a Gas Mask for Protests: A Practical Buyer’s Guide

A Verge buying guide blends personal experience with reporting to compare gas masks for protests, arguing full-face coverage is preferable to goggles or half-face respirators. It rates options by ease of use, fit, durability, and value, highlighting the Parcil PT-100 (~$120) as best value for most people, the Mira CM-6M (~$199) as a top high-end pick, and the 3M 6800 (~$140) as another solid option. The piece notes that journalists and protesters often buy masks online amid state repression and reflects on tear gas’s use and the politics of protests.
