But don't let that hold you back.We reviewed the iPhone 17e earlier this year, and we largely liked what we saw. Stan Schroeder said "the iPhone 17e is a decent upgrade over its predecessor, and a good choice if you want the cheapest new iPhone you can get." If you don't need all the power of the iPhone 18 Pro, it's a solid choice for normal users.
