iPhone 17e 256 GB: 15.40 cm (6.1″) Super Retina XDR Display

The Apple iPhone 17e was recently launched in March 2026 as a powerful, value-focused addition to the iPhone 17 lineup. It brings several significant hardware upgrades, including a more efficient cellular modem and a substantial increase in base storage.

Key Highlights

• Vibrant Super Retina XDR Display: The 15.40 cm (6.1") OLED display features Ceramic Shield 2, which provides 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation. It delivers a peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits, making it easy to view in bright sunlight.

• A19 Chip Performance: Powered by the A19 chip (4-core GPU variant), this model supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for high-end gaming and is fully optimized for Apple Intelligence features like Live Translation and Clean Up.

• Upgraded 48MP Fusion Camera: The main camera captures super-high-resolution photos and enables an optical-quality 2x Telephoto crop. It also automatically captures depth information, allowing you to turn standard photos into portraits after they are taken.

• Double Base Storage: This year’s model starts at 256 GB, providing ample room for 4K Dolby Vision videos and high-resolution media without needing an immediate upgrade.

• Introduction of MagSafe: For the first time in the "e" series, this model supports MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W, alongside fast USB-C wired charging.
