Budget iPhone 17e bets on speed and storage without adding extra cameras

The Guardian’s iPhone 17e review finds Apple’s cheapest new iPhone upgraded with the faster A19 chip and 256–512GB storage, MagSafe and USB‑C, a 6.1-inch OLED screen, and strong battery life (~52 hours), all in a familiar iPhone 14‑style body with a single 48MP rear camera; it lacks ultrawide/telephoto, wifi 7, Thread and UWB, making it a solid budget option for Apple basics at £599 but not ideal for photography enthusiasts.

Engadget review roundup: Apple’s budget MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, Galaxy S26, and Dell XPS 16 lead the 2026 lineup

Engadget’s latest review roundup highlights Apple’s budget-friendly MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e, Samsung’s Galaxy S26, and Dell’s premium XPS 16 (2026). The MacBook Neo scores high for design and brightness but is held back by only 8GB of RAM and limited storage; the iPhone 17e offers solid entry-level iOS with improved Portrait photography and MagSafe, though its display feels dated; the Galaxy S26 is a strong but conservative upgrade with a larger battery and AI features but few headline changes from its predecessor; and the XPS 16 earns praise for its exquisite design, OLED screen, and robust performance, despite a steep price and some tradeoffs like keyboard feel and lack of an SD card reader. The roundup also touches on other gadgets, including the Nothing Phone 4a Pro and Belkin’s Switch 2 charging case.

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).

iPhone 17e Upgrade: MagSafe, Bigger Storage, and a Subtle Leap Over 16e

Apple’s iPhone 17e adds MagSafe charging, a 256GB base storage, the A19 chip, faster charging, and Ceramic Shield 2, marking a mostly incremental but future‑proof upgrade over the 16e (which remains a solid value if deeply discounted). The 17e is recommended for new buyers or anyone coming from older devices, with pre-orders starting March 4 and availability March 11; the 16e stays viable primarily when discounted enough to close the gap in features like MagSafe and storage.
