Apple has just announced the addition of the iPhone 17e to its smartphone lineup. This model is kitted with the A19 chip that also powers the base iPhone 17 and it will support the Apple Intelligence suite of AI tools. As the rumors suggested, the iPhone 17e will indeed be priced at $599, same as last year’s iPhone 16e. The base model will come with 256GB of storage, and also be available in a new pink color.

The iPhone 17e was missing a few elements that are now being added to the 17e, most notably MagSafe charging. Apple also gave the iPhone 17e its C1X cellular modem, which it said is “up to 2x faster than C1 in iPhone 16e.” This year’s entry-level iPhone also has Ceramic Shield 2 on its 6.1-inch Super Retina display, which Apple says offers “3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and reduced glare.”

Most of the other specs appear similar to the iPhone 16e, including the 48-megapixel Fusion camera that uses one single hardware sensor to provide two dedicated camera pipelines.

Apple unveiled most of its iPhone 17 roster back in September, but its budget models usually are introduced a few months later. We’re also still waiting on the official news of what we’re colloquially calling the iPhone Fold, which is currently rumored to arrive in the back half of this year.

If you’re intrigued, the iPhone 17e will be available for pre-order on March 4, and will start arriving in stores on March 11.
