The iPhone 17e is here, and I just reviewed it. In short, this is everything I wanted the iPhone 16e to be from the start — a tempting entry-level phone that finally brings MagSafe to the party alongside boosted storage and the more powerful A19 chip.
I know a lot of you are looking at this phone and asking one question: Is it worth it for everything I need to do with an iPhone, or should I shell out more for the iPhone 17? Well, that's why I'm here. Any questions you have about the 17e, whether it's specific benchmarks, camera tests or general use impressions, I'm here to help you as much as possible.
So, in this Tom's Guide live Q&A, I'll help you decide whether you can go with budget mode or need more. Because while many iPhone users get caught in the web of Apple's tempting upsells, you'd be surprised how many of you will be just fine with Cupertino's cheapest slab!
