Apple’s official website has officially launched the new iPhone 17e, with a starting price of 4,499 yuan. As the new generation entry model of this series, it has made targeted adjustments in its core configuration. Compared with the previous generation iPhone 16e, the new model mainly brings four core changes. The first is the jump in performance core, and the processor is upgraded to the latest A19 chip.
In addition, the iPhone 17e is more generous in terms of starting storage capacity, starting directly from 256GB. In terms of appearance color, Apple also added a fresh light pink color, and supported the MagSafe magnetic charging function for the first time on this model.
However, the much-anticipated screen design did not usher in a complete revolution.iPhone 17e still uses the 6.1-inch notch screen design, regrettably missed the latest Smart Island interactive experience.
This design decision caused widespread controversy on the Internet. Many netizens complained that this too conservative screen solution left the iPhone 17e with almost no other modern highlights except the powerful processor.
In terms of imaging system, iPhone 17e still maintains the rear 48-megapixel single camera solution, which supports 2x optical zoom effect, and the front camera is 12-megapixel.
In terms of network connectivity, the machine supports a flexible dual-SIM solution. Users can choose dual eSIM cards, or use a combination of a single physical SIM card and a single eSIM card.
This controversial and performance-coexisting new machine will be officially launched on March 11. For those users who value core computing power more and are less sensitive to screen form, the blessing of the A19 chip may be its biggest attraction.
