r/IPhone17e

I was thinking of buying a 17e, and ive done alot of research on the different models and such.

So i read this one has magsafe, something that has been a feature on iphones since the 13 model. Anyway, im coming from the 7 (i know....) that didnt have it. I never really missed it, but i figured its a cool feature.

So i googled what i could do with magsafe and then a bunch of stuff showed up about it not being 100% safe. So i started to overthink and doubts started to rise in my head about is having a magnet in your pants pocket a few hours a day really that safe or a good idea?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, anyone care to elaborate and share experiences?

Idk guys maybe it’s just fomo, reading a lot of reviews saying this phones for older people 😭

From a long time android user, 17e feels like night and day. I’ve got talked a lot into getting anything above the base model, but they missed the point. The point of having of all the bells and whistles from the ‘better’ versions just doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a practical guy and 17e is probably the most practical phone on the market now. And honestly the aesthetics of it having a single camera instantly caught my attention hehe. Get the 17e, totally worth it.

I am looking for a iphone for casual uses and mostly of my application are teams, Outlook, slack, helpdesk and some banking apps. Occasionally will use social media and have youtube as my bed time Stories. Suggest me which suits me..

When looking at the specs I realised the 17e was basically a faster iPhone 12 Pro which I loved from two phones ago. Same main camera and screen but so light and simple. With a case the camera bump is basically non existent.

Everyone should be using this phone.

An exclaimer: I am a tech addict

Currently using 17Pro

I switched phones quite a lot to be honest and ever since the 16 E was launched it was appealing to me and I always thought about switching to it even for a couple of months or so just to experience it.

In the past, I used the iPhone minis and the SENI enjoy them for quite a short period of time and then I moved onto two different phones

But this year with the 17 E it feels really appealing to me. It is quite absolute that moving back to the 17 E is not rational and it’s downgrading myself completely, but still something is still making me want to experience it.

Should? Or should not

I keep seeing a lot of this all over Reddit , was the 17e ever for people in that demographic . im in my 20s and I got this with my first paycheck , anyone else using a iphone 17e in their 20s ?

For years, all of the base and plus models have only had 60 hertz. It was only up until the 17 came out that the base model gained 120 hertz. Why are people complaining so much about the e having it? Yeah, other budget models usually have at least 90, but this is Apple. They are great at making 60 hertz seem smoother than it is.

Hey guys! Im looking to buy a new iPhone. For the past decade (!) Ive been using my old and trusted iPhone 7 which has served me so well. But its obsolete now, obviously. Not only the lack of the latest iOS but also in app updates and so forth

Im on a budget, so I went digging and at first I wanted to go for the 16e which looks like a solid (and cheapest) option. I went to the store, did a side by side comparison with the 15 and I kinda also fell for that one. Especially the more premium feel, sophisticated design, brighter display, dynamic island. But what threw me off was the lack of longer updates and appleAI which apparently is gonna be big in the next few years

So I started to look at the 17e, which is my go to option right now. But I found so little upgrades over the 16e. Im not really missing magsafe right now, but the 17e does feature longer updates and a faster chip. Its approx 100euro more expensive then the 16e, but what in your opinion justifies that extra cash?

Kinda lost in the jungle here, anyone care to share insights? Ty!

should I buy or not?

My 13mini has a good size, but it’s just old, slowly and battery at 80%.
Besides: it’s the same device since 2021: boring!

Have you considered the 17e as an option?
Someone tried the size?
