 Apple has introduced a cheaper model of the iPhone 17, how much does it cost?

 

 

The famous American mobile company Apple on Monday introduced another important and relatively cheap model.

This is actually a low-cost version of the iPhone 17, which has been called the 17e. The aim of this move is said to be to increase the number of users and eliminate concerns that the company is lagging behind in the field of artificial intelligence.

According to the American news channel CNN, this phone will be available in the market from March 11.

According to the report, the price of the iPhone 17e will start at $ 599 and is a simple version of the iPhone 17, which has the same processor but a slightly smaller screen.

This phone has one camera instead of two cameras and does not include the Dynamic Island Bar that displays information about apps.

Apple does not usually release new models of its cheap phones every year, but this step came after the iPhone 16e last year.

In this regard, experts say that the company's move shows that the demand for cheap phones is increasing, and the iPhone 16e was quite popular among users.

Its sales also eased concerns in the market about where Apple stands in the field of artificial intelligence. The company achieved results that exceeded revenue expectations in the fourth quarter of 2025, largely due to the success of the iPhone 17.

Apple last year saw record iPhone upgrades and more than double the number of users switching from Android to iPhone.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said in January that demand for the iPhone was “surprising.”

The iPhone 17e, which is $200 cheaper than the iPhone 17, could also appeal to users with older phones, especially those whose phones don’t support Apple’s advanced AI features.

It’s also worth noting that the launch comes at a time when the global smartphone market is facing a shortage of RAM (memory) due to artificial intelligence.

According to International Data Corporation, the global smartphone market is expected to decline by 6.8% in the first quarter of this year.

This could be a pivotal year for Apple with the iPhone 17e. The company is set to introduce a new version of its Siri, which will be based on the Gemini AI model and will be available to consumers later this year.

In addition, Bloomberg says that Apple's first foldable iPhone is also expected this year.

The iPhone 17e will be available in black, white and pink and has more storage than the previous model. It also includes a version of the new cellular modem, which is twice as fast as the iPhone 16e model.
