Apple yesterday officially introduced the new iPhone 17e. On paper, it looks very similar to the basic iPhone 17, but upon closer inspection there are more than enough differences.

What do both models have in common?
Both models feature the A19 chip. iPhone 17e It has one less GPU core, but this is hard for the average user to recognize. The display protection is also identical in the form of Ceramic Shield 2, 256GB of base storage, and MagSafe support. So in terms of performance and everyday use, this is not a significantly "cut-down" phone. However, that's where the similarities basically end.
Biggest differences: cameras and display
The most significant differences are found in the camera. iPhone The 17 has an 18MP front camera with Center Stage. iPhone The 17e does not have this new feature and remains with the 12MP TrueDepth camera.
On the back, the difference is even more pronounced. iPhone The 17e only has a single 48MP Fusion main camera. iPhone 17 has two cameras including Ultra Wide lens. The new 17e also lacks more advanced optical stabilization, the latest generation of Photographic Styles, or the Dual Capture function.
There is of course a significant difference in the display. iPhone 17 supports 120Hz ProMotion s Always-On regime, which iPhone The 17e does not have it. The display is also smaller (6,1″ compared to 6,3″) and has about a quarter less brightness. iPhone 17e also lacks Dynamic Island, which has been predicted for this model for a long time. And it's quite a shame considering how many interactions can be achieved through Dynamic Island currently being carried out.

Apple traditionally does not indicate battery capacity and focuses only on communicating how many hours of a specific task it can handle from a full charge. iPhone The 17e will offer up to 26 hours of video playback, iPhone 17 can handle 30 hours. Modems also differ. iPhone 17e uses C1X from Applol, iPhone 17 still bets on Qualcomm. The iPhone 17e also has a new N1 wireless chip and a button Camera Control, thereby iPhone 17 of course has. iPhone The 17e starts at $599, iPhone The 17 costs $799.

It's for me iPhone 17e is a great basic for non-demanding users. It is clear that such a model will have a number of concessions due to the price. However, if you do not suffer from the latest fads, you will get a phone for a decent price that will perform well.onem will be enough for many years.
