Like last year’s budget option, the 6.1-inch 17E starts at $599. It checks more off our wishlist than the 16E, though, with an expanded 256GB of base storage and built-in magnets, rendering it compatible with an entire range of MagSafe accessories (including Qi2 chargers). What’s more, it’s powered by the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17, which should allow for faster performance. Its Ceramic Shield 2 display is also as durable as the iPhone 17’s, so it won’t scratch as easily as previous models, and the phone offers a 48-megapixel “fusion” camera.
We’ve pulled together more spec details in our recent comparison post, but below, we’ve rounded up where you can preorder Apple’s latest phone ahead of our full review. We’re still testing it, but based on our brief time with it so far, it’s largely what you’d expect: a simpler, more affordable take on the iPhone 17 that still feels great to hold.
Where to buy the iPhone 17E
As of now, you can preorder the iPhone 17E from Apple and Best Buy in black, pink, or white with 256GB of storage starting at $599. If you need additional space, both Apple and Best Buy are also selling it with 512GB of storage for $799.
