iPhone 17e

Red sock.Apple Newsroom

Available in three elegant colors with a premium matte finish — black, white, and a beautiful new soft pink — iPhone 17e will be available for pre-order beginning Wednesday, March 4, with availability starting Wednesday, March 11. iPhone 17e will start at 256GB of storage for $599 — 2x the entry storage from the previous generation at the same starting price, and 4x more than iPhone 12 — giving users more space for high-resolution photos, 4K videos, apps, games, and more.

If you configure one with the maximum amount of storage at 512GB, no trade-in, select Buy, select Connect to any carrier, and get the Annual coverage the price is $799.

Not bad for $800. This looks to be a great entry level phone and is actually something I could fit into. I have a 512GB iPhone 16 and it’s a wonderful device that, I believe, cost over double that $800 price tag.

Sure the camera isn’t as good but I think I could live with that.

It comes in three colors; Soft Pink, White, and Black. That works. I hope this thing sells like hot cakes. 🥞

UPDATE: The price of my iPhone 16 was $1,407.84 when I was all said and done. That included shipping. So, definitely not over double the price. 😁
