Apple iPhone 17e
iPhone buyers who only use the main camera
$699Checked November 1, 2026
If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
GSMArena measured 15.5 hours of active use, a little more than the iPhone 17, but the 17e has no auxiliary cameras, a 60 Hz display and thick bezels. I'd take it over the iPhone 17 if you only ever use the main camera.
