Today on March 2, tech company Apple has launched the cheapest phone in its updated 17 series, iPhone 17e, in the global market including India. Compared to the old iPhone 16e, many major updates have been made in it, such as latest A19 chipset, 48MP fusion camera, better strength, MagSafe support and the storage in the base variant has been doubled i.e. 256GB.
Apart from this, the company has also introduced iPad Air with the new updated M4 processor, which is 30% faster than the previous generation. The starting price of iPhone 17e and iPad Air is Rs 64,900.
The starting price of the iPhone 17e is slightly higher than the previous model, which is probably due to the lack of memory chips. Last year, iPhone 16e was launched for Rs 59,900.
However, the base model of 16e had 128GB of storage, while the base model of 17e has 256GB of memory. Pre-booking of both the devices will be possible from 7:45 pm on March 4, while the sale will start from March 11.
