Community Reviews

The iPhone 17e looks like a budget iPhone with solid core specs, including the A19 chip, 256GB storage, MagSafe, and a screen that is still considered good. It is also described as close to the regular iPhone 17 and comparable to the iPhone 15 or 16, while the Spectrum bundle can make the overall internet and phone package unusually cheap. The main drawbacks are the 60Hz display, no UWB for AirTags or compatible car and lock features, and a camera that trails flagship models. Checkout problems also keep showing the phone at $599 instead of the advertised $199, so the deal depends on the plan details working correctly.

Common Questions (5)

  • The advertised $199 price appears to require a 36-month payment plan; checkout can otherwise show the full $599 price. The online deal is described as $5.55 per month totaling $199, including for new lines and upgrades, but the cart may not reflect it until the plan terms are applied.

  • The 17e is described as using the same processor as the regular 17 but with 8GB RAM instead of 12GB, a worse camera than flagship models, and a 60Hz display. It also lacks UWB, so it does not support precision finding for AirTags/Find My Friends or hands-free unlock for compatible cars and locks.

  • It is framed as a less-premium option that is still comparable to the iPhone 15 and 16, with MagSafe, 256GB storage, and an A19 chip at the starting price. Alternatives mentioned as stronger picks include the Pixel 10a for screen, speakers, camera, and battery life, and the Galaxy S26 if you have a trade-in.

  • Yes. One bundle mentioned is 4 lines for $120 per month with 100 Mbps internet free for life, and another is 1 Gbps symmetrical internet plus 4 unlimited lines for $140 per month with taxes included. A two-line option may exist, but it is described as less attractive than the four-line bundle.

  • A concrete example shows an iPhone 13 128GB getting $313 total value: $113 base trade-in plus a $200 Spectrum promotion. That means the effective out-of-pocket cost can drop sharply if your device qualifies for the full promo amount.

are these e-versions actually worth $200 in this case?
Depends on your perspective. I would be perfectly happy using a 13 mini, Galaxy S23, or Pixel 7a, but Spectrum keeps giving me the latest Galaxy S at a steal.
The 17e is arguably better than the iPhone 15 and pretty comparable to the 16. Anyone saying the 17e is garbage is setting the bar way above what it's meant to be, which is a less premium option. I think added Magsafe, 256GB and a19 chip over the 16e are pretty nice upgrades for the same starting price.

Yeah honestly you do not lost very much compared to the 17. Same processor, 8 GBs of ram vs 12 I think? Slightly worse but still good screen. MAIN difference is the camera is worse than a flagship, your call on if that is worth 600 more dollars.
And no UWB. So no precision finding for AirTags and Find My Friends, or hands free unlock of DCK/Aliro enabled cars/locks.

Did you add 1 line or 2? I think you must add 2 lines to qualify for 400 off.

Not for me, this 17e refresh rate is only 60Hz, but most of popular phones nowadays are supporting 120Hz. Unless you really like iOS and want a budget phone, then just go for it.

About 20 million iPhone 15 buyers and 20 million iPhone 16 buyers were ok with 60Hz, but as an Android user, I agree.

In 2021 the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max were already supporting 120Hz refresh rate, which is already 5 years ago. It feels less smooth if you stuck with 60Hz phone unless you are really tight on budget.

Total Wireless for $300 but you have to stay on their $60/month plan for a year to get the $300 off.

Yeah. There used to be better deals from the Tracfone brands but Verizon just changed the terms to require 12 months of paid service to unlock the phones.
