The new iPhone 17e, which adds MagSafe to its $599 device, has been praised for its ability to standardize the accessory experience across the entire range of Apple devices. This shift from the iPhone 16e to the 17e shows that there is no longer a significant gap in performance between entry-level and Pro models, making it harder to justify spending top dollar on a lower-cost iPhone. The 17e's addition to MagSafe makes it feel more premium by tapping into the same ecosystem as the flagship devices. The move from the 16e was significant for wireless charging fans as it supports full 15-watt MagSafe and Qi2 charging speeds. The new 17e also allows companies to standardise their office charging hardware without worrying about which specific iPhone model is carrying.
