There is nothing left to know iPhone 17ethe second model that we will see in this class, and although the iPhone 16e has been very well rated, it is true that many users asked for certain improvements to consider purchasing the one that is coming now.
Among them we had the dynamic islandor the 120 Hz screen. However, although one of them does seem like it will arrive, the other is a simple fantasy, and Apple has decided to keep it like last year, so there will be many users who will be unhappy with it.
iPhone 17e Features
More things are starting to be said about the iPhone 17e, and the general idea is quite clear: Apple wants to make a somewhat cheaper model, but without going overboard giving things away. One of the novelties that seems quite certain is that is going to bring the Dynamic Islandsomething that until now was more reserved for slightly better models, although the notch is very outdated, and hence we are going to see the change now.
That means that finally that cutout above, which shows music, calls, timers and more (which the most expensive models have already had for years), would reach a more accessible iPhone. On a visual level, it looks more modern and, to be honest, it is one of those things that Apple wants everyone to see like “this is a new iPhone.”
Now, that's where the party ends a bit. Everything indicates that the screen of the iPhone 17e will continue to be 60 Hzlike the usual basic models. No 120Hz or ProMotion. That is, it will look good, but it will not feel as fluid as the Pro models when you scroll or move quickly through the system.
This doesn't take anyone by surprise. Apple has been using the screen for years as a clear way to separate ranges. If you want extra fluidity, you have to pay more. If you don't care that much, you stick with the cheapest model and that's it. If you put it this way, few would choose to pay more, and it would make no sense.
For many people this is not going to be a problem. There are users who do not even pay attention to the hertz of the screen and come from old mobile phones where everything was the same or worse. For others, however, once you try 120 Hz, going back to 60 is quite noticeableso it is not recommended for those people.
The 17e seems like it's going to be just that: an updated iPhone on the outside, with some modern touches like the Dynamic Island, but with clear cuts so that it doesn't come close, in features, to the more expensive models. Nothing strange coming from Apple.
In the end everything will depend on the price. If Apple manages to place it in an interesting range, there will be many people who don't care exactly about 60 Hz. And if not, then the same thing will continue to happen: whoever wants “the good stuff” will have to upgrade.
So the quick summary would be that: iPhone 17e more modern on the outside, correct on the inside, and with well-marked limits so that it is not confused with a Pro or with a simple basic iPhone 17.
