The iPhone 17e is quite an interesting introduction to the iPhone 17 lineup. It’s quite slim, comes with a single camera on the rear, and is pretty lightweight. However, if you  love that triple camera module in the Pro models, this device might not fascinate you. Also, the front notch doesn’t look well.

Coming to the performance, it’s one of the best in the world due to the Apple A19 chipset, NVMe storage, and 8GB RAM. However, it’s not as impressive as the Apple A19 Pro chipset in its elder models but will be able to play the games at decent graphics.

The display of this phone is pretty impressive as it comes with a Super Retina XDR OLED screen. I would love it to have a 120hz refresh rate but the cost cutting here again. 

Talking about the camera, well, it’s just one on the rear side and one on the front side. More like iPhone Air but with a notch on the front side which looks a bit old fashioned.

Conclusion

In the end, the iPhone 17e is for a very specific audience. It’s popularity in Pakistan  might not be very high because people here love to show that triple camera module which has become a status symbol. Let’s see how it performs after the importers import it here.
