The design remains the consolidated one of the iPhone 14 with 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED displaynotch, aluminum frame and squared edges; the news on the front is the Ceramic Shield 2which Apple claims is three times more scratch-resistant than the previous generation. Available in black, white and the new Soft Pink.
On a photographic level, the iPhone 17e features a Single 48MP Fusion rear camera with 2x optical quality zoom, 4K Dolby Vision video shooting at 60 fps and new generation portraits with automatic recognition of people, dogs and cats even in post-shot. The declared autonomy reaches to 26 hours of offline video playbackwith USB-C fast charging (50% in 30 minutes) and
15W MagSafe wireless. The operating system is iOS 26 with full support for Apple Intelligence, including functions such as Visual Intelligence, Call Screening, Hold Assist and real-time translation. Compared to the Pro models, Dynamic Island, Camera Control and dual cameras are missing, but for those who don’t have advanced photographic needs, the iPhone 17e probably represents the most rational choice of the entire 2026 lineup. Especially when it costs so little (for an iPhone).
