Apple unveils the iPhone 17e The new device designed for those who want to upgrade without compromise
Apple unveils the iPhone 17e, the new model expanding the iPhone 17 lineup by combining next-generation performance, an advanced camera system and enhanced durability at a more accessible price. Featuring a sleek new design and several upgrades in terms of performance and functionality, the new iPhone 17e is designed for those who want to make an upgrade without compromise.
Beautiful and built to last, iPhone 17e features a solid aluminum frame paired with a front panel made of Ceramic Shield 2, a material that delivers scratch resistance three times greater than iPhone 16e. Stronger than any smartphone glass, it protects your iPhone from impacts, drops and minor cracks thanks to IP68 certification. The Super Retina XDR OLED display reaches peak HDR brightness, delivering an immersive visual experience in any lighting condition.
iPhone 17e is available in three matte finishes: black, white and a new light pink. The elegant and minimal design is suited both to those who prefer a bold character and to those who lean toward a more essential and discreet aesthetic. In addition, iPhone 17e offers double the base storage capacity, 256GB, at the price of €729, ensuring greater freedom for high-resolution photos, 4K videos, apps and games.
iPhone 17e delivers outstanding power and performance thanks to the A19 chip, the same processor featured across the iPhone 17 family. Everything you do feels smooth and fast, and remains that way over time. The C1X modem is up to twice as fast as the C1 modem in iPhone 16e. Combined with the A19 chip, it makes streaming and AAA gaming lightning fast. iPhone 17e also promises remarkable battery life, powered by the exceptional energy efficiency of the A19 chip and its high-capacity battery, offering up to 26 hours of video playback.
iPhone 17e features an advanced camera system including a 48MP Fusion camera with 2x optical-quality telephoto, enabling detailed images and next-generation portraits with adjustable depth information even after shooting. The new device records video in 4K with Dolby Vision up to 60 fps and supports spatial audio, introducing intelligent wind noise reduction features for professional results in any situation.
With iOS 26, iPhone 17e introduces a new Liquid Glass design that promises a more immersive and customizable experience, alongside the latest Apple Intelligence features, including real-time translation in Messages, FaceTime and Phone, automatic filtering of unknown calls and advanced assistance tools. Satellite features such as Emergency SOS, Messages via satellite, Roadside Assistance and Find My allow users to stay connected and receive help even without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. The launch of the new iPhone 17e once again confirms Apple's commitment to designing powerful, durable devices capable of maintaining their value over time.
