Jin Daily Apple Trivia: 5 Things You Didn’t Know About the iPhone 17e

Apple just launched the new iPhone 17e — the most affordable iPhone yet. 😛

On the surface, it looks almost identical to the iPhone 16e and even shares the same starting price of RM2,999. So what’s actually new?

Storage: Now starts at 256GB — no more anxiety over what to uninstall before every iPhone update. (My poor 128GB iPhone is crying T__T)

Color: A new pink joins the lineup, compared to just black and white on the 16e.

MagSafe: Finally back, along with Qi2 wireless charging at 15W.

Performance: Upgraded to the A19 (Lite) chip with one fewer GPU core, better battery life than the 16e.

Hardware: Newer Ceramic Shield 2 (3x more scratch-resistant) Apple C1X modem for better 5G performance — same as the iPhone Air.
