Apple's new low-cost iPhone comes a year after its predecessor, offering over a dozen small changes. Here's how the latest model compares.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 16e last year, it replaced the aging iPhone SE and became the new low-cost iPhone. The 16e adopted a contemporary full-screen design, Face ID, a 48-megapixel rear camera, USB-C, and the A18 chip, positioning it far closer to Apple's flagship models than previous budget models.
Apple yesterday announced the iPhone 17e, featuring the A19 chip, MagSafe connectivity, faster charging, and more. Here's everything that differs between the iPhone 16e and iPhone 17e:
