After checking out the iPhone 17e up close at Apple’s London launch, I’m starting to think this is the value pick of the bunch.

Apple opens week of product launches with refreshed low-cost iPhone and a faster iPad Air, as it begins what looks to be a broader multi-day hardware push.

Apple's iPhone 17e goes on pre‑order 4 March with a $599 starting price, 256GB storage and a confirmed 8GB of RAM via an Xcode leak. The model is positioned as a more affordable entry into the iPhone 17 family without losing key features.

Apple does not advertise RAM amounts in iPhones, but MacRumors has confirmed this information through Apple's developer tool Xcode. Like the iPhone 16e, the iPhone 17e is equipped with 8GB of RAM, according to the Xcode data.

The company also revealed an M4 iPad Air, M5 Pro- and Max-powered MacBook Pro models and a Studio Display XDR.

Apple's iPhone 17E is officially out at a $599 price, bringing a nice set of upgrades to its more affordable iPhone. If you own an iPhone 16E, you might be wondering whether the changes here are enough to justify buying the newer model.

Apple's new iPhone 17e is shaping up to be a great midrange device, but how does it stack up against the base iPhone 17?

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple CEO Tim Cook promised a “big week” of product announcements including the introduction of a new budget-friendly iPhone 17e, a new entry-level MacBook Neo, updated iPad Air models, refreshed monitors and higher-end chipsets. They were all on display at hands-on media events held Wednesday in New York, London and Shanghai.
