"One of the most noteworthy changes to the iPhone 17e is the addition of MagSafe support, and aside from confirming whether that works, I don't really have any impressions to add. I also can't tell you at the moment whether the increased wireless charging speed makes a difference, although mathematically I have to imagine it would."
"I did get a chance to try out the new Portrait photography here. I brought my iPhone 16e and tried taking portraits with both devices. I could immediately see that the iPhone 17e allowed me to apply an artificial background blur to pictures I was framing up of the new MacBook Air M5, whereas my iPhone 16e just said 'No person detected.'"
"The other thing I can tell from seeing the iPhone 17e in person is that this new pink color option is absolutely delightful. I won't go as far as to call it stunning or vibrant - it's too subtle to be either of those things. It's almost the same shade of pink as the Pixel 3, except rosier than that."
Apple announced the iPhone 17e, which shares many similarities with the iPhone 16e but introduces notable upgrades. The primary improvements include MagSafe support and faster wireless charging speeds. The most significant enhancement is the new Portrait photography mode, which successfully detects and applies artificial background blur to images, addressing a limitation of the previous model that frequently failed to detect subjects. The device is available in a new subtle pink color option that resembles a rosier version of the Pixel 3's shade. Overall, the iPhone 17e represents an incremental update rather than a dramatic redesign.
